<u> The cork initially has some potential energy when it is held above the water (the greater the height, the higher the potential energy). When it is dropped, such potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the cork falls. When the cork hits the water, that energy travels through the water in waves. </u>

Explanation:

In this lab, you will take measurements to determine how the amplitude and the period of waves are affected by the transfer of energy from a cork dropped into the water.

The cork initially has some potential energy when it is held above the water (the greater the height, the higher the potential energy).

When it is dropped, such potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the cork falls. When the cork hits the water, that energy travels through the water in waves.

Materials :

  1. large bowl or basin
  2. water
  3. cork (or ping pong ball)
  4. stopwatch
  5. measuring tape
  6. Fill a large bowl or basin with water and wait for the water to settle so there are no ripples.
  7. Gently drop a cork into the middle of the bowl.
  8. Estimate the wavelength and the period of oscillation of the water wave that propagates away from the cork. You can estimate the period by counting the number of ripples from the center to the edge of the bowl while your partner times it. This information, combined with the bowl measurement, will give you the wavelength when the correct formula is used.
  9. Remove the cork from the bowl and wait for the water to settle again.
  10. Gently drop the cork at a height that is different from the first drop.
  11. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to collect a second and third set of data, dropping the cork from different heights and recording the resulting wavelengths and periods.
  12. Interpret your results.

A. how do fossils help document the descent of modern species from ancient ancestors?
ElenaW [278]
They help in that, many recently discovered fossils form series that trace the evolution of modern species from extinct ancestors. Patterns in the distribution of living and fossil species tell us how modern organisms evolved from their ancestors. Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as a result of descent with modification from a common ancestor.

during a natural disaster part of a plnt was damaged if the plant can no longer grow and produce new root cells which of the pla
Usimov [2.4K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Phloem

B. Xylem

C. Apical meristem

D. Root cap

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Root cap

Explanation:

The plant growth takes place not only above the surface but below the surface also in the roots. Roots continually grow to absorb more water and nutrients to support the growth of the plant.

The roots are protected by a layer of protective cells forming a structure called root cap below the root. The root cap protects the roots, secretes a substance which helps the growth of the root and the sense gravity.

In the given question since the roots are not able to grow therefore the damaged part will be the root cap.

Thus, the root cap is the correct answer.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The statement by the patient which indicates that further teaching is needed is:

What to do if I am facing side effects of the drugs?

Explanation:

Atopic dermatitis: It is the most common form of Eczema and appears as red itchy rash on cheeks, arms and legs. Mostly children suffer from it. It is a chronic condition and may be associated with Asthma and Hay fever.

Note: There is no definite treatment for it but different agents (drugs) along with precautions can alleviate the symptoms.

Pimecrolimus:  It is an immunomodulating agent of calcinuerin inhibitor class used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

For two autosomal dominant genes, what is the probability that a cross between two heterozygotes (i.e. AaBb x AaBb) will produce
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1 in 16

Explanation:

When two heterozygotes (AaBb x AaBb) for two autosomal genes are crossed the expected probability for the offspring is 9 A-B-, 3 A-bb, 3 aaB- and 1 aabb. In other words, out of sixteen offspring, 9 are expected to be dominant on both genes (either homozygous AA or BB or heterozygous Aa or Bb), 3 are expected to be dominant on the A gene but recessive on the b gene, 3 are expected to be recessive on the a gene but dominant on the A gene, and only 1 is expected to be recessive on both genes aabb.
