According to cell theory, where do new cells come from?

Why would genetic material need to be able to reproduce

Lynna [10]

So that the next generation could inherit the previous adaptations and instinct and be similar to the parents. if that didn't happen, a cat might give birth to a giraffe

. If measurements of a gas are 75L and 300 kilopascals and then the gas is measured a second time and found to be 50L, describe

julia-pushkina [17]

By Boyle's law:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

300*75 = P₂*50

P₂*50= 300*75

P₂ = 300*75/50 = 450

P₂ = 450 kiloPascals.

The pressure has increased as a result of compression of gas.

Boyle's Law supports this observation.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball

Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

$F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A plastic rod 1.3 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -3e-08 coulombs. we choose the center of the rod

Anestetic [448]

(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:
$L/8=1.3m/8=0.1625 m$

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:
$c_6 = 0.0812m+0.1625m=0.2437 m$

(c) The total charge is $Q=-3 \cdot 10^{-8}C$ . To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:
$Q/8=-3\cdot 10^{-8}C/8=-3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C$

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):
$q= -3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C$
If we approximate piece 6 as a single charge, the electric field is given by
$E=k_e \frac{q}{d^2}$
where $k_e=8.99\cdot 10^9Nm^2C^{-2}$ and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have
$E= 8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2} \frac{-3.75\cdot 10^9 C}{(0.2437m-0.7m)^2} =-161.9 V/m$
poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.

(e) missing details on this question.
