You own a yacht which is 14.5 meters long. It is motoring down a canal at 10.6 m/s. Its bow (the front of the boat) is just abou

t to begin passing underneath a bridge that is 30.0 m across. How much time is required until its stern (the end of the boat) is no longer under the bridge?

Answer:

4.198 seconds

Explanation:

The total length of the yacht is 30m and the width of the bridge is 14.5m.

The speed of the yacht is 10.6m/s.

We can assume the current of the canal has a speed of 0m/s.

To calculate the answer we will break it into two parts

1) The time it takes for the bow to travel from the start of the bridge to the end

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 30m

Time = T1

T1 = 2.8301s

2) The time it takes for the stern to cross the end of the bridge after the bow

<em />

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

<em />

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 14.5m

Time = T2

T2 = 1.3679s

3) The Total Time is

Total = T1 + T2

Total = 4.198s

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)

750 million years ago, there was enough Uranium-235 present in Oklo, Gabon to have a natural fission reactor occur and generate
Komok [63]
<span>With a half-life of 700 million years, U-235 would have had twice as much mass at a time 700 MYA. This would have put the mass at 100kg at that time. Going back another 50 million years would be (50/700) or 1/14 of the half-life, or (1/2 * 1/14), or 1/28 of the total mass. 1/28 of 100kg is 3.57kg, so the amount present at the 750MYA mark would be approximately 103.57kg of U-235.</span>

A 15.0 kg crate, initially at rest, slides down a ramp 2.0 m long and inclined at an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Using t
Elis [28]

The component of the crate's weight that is parallel to the ramp is the only force that acts in the direction of the crate's displacement. This component has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = <em>mg</em> sin(20.0°) = (15.0 kg) (9.81 m/s^2) sin(20.0°) ≈ 50.3 N

Then the work done by this force on the crate as it slides down the ramp is

<em>W</em> = <em>F d</em> = (50.3 N) (2.0 m) ≈ 101 J

The work-energy theorem says that the total work done on the crate is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Since it starts at rest, its initial kinetic energy is 0, so

<em>W</em> = <em>K</em> = 1/2 <em>mv</em> ^2

Solve for <em>v</em> :

<em>v</em> = √(2<em>W</em>/<em>m</em>) = √(2 (101 J) / (2.0 m)) ≈ 10.0 m/s
