Use Newton's universal law of gravitation to explain why gravity is greater on Earth than on Mercury.

Its because the attraction force that pulls objects together increases the heavier the objects are. Since Mercury is much smaller and consequently lighter than earth, it's attraction to an object on the planets surface would be less than if that same object were found on earth. So it's "gravity acceleration" would be less than earth's 9.8m/s^2

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's
tia_tia [17]

Answer: Cell's nucleus

Explanation :

The full form of DNA is Deoxyribonucleic acid. The genetic information of a cell is organized in the DNA. It is inherited from parents by their children.

DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's nucleus. It has a shape like a double helix. It is twisted in the form of spirals.

Hence, DNA is coiled into chromosomes in a cell's Nucleus.

A 0.5-kg ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 2 m/s. If the impulse occurs
mart [117]

<em>Given that:</em>

                       mass of the ball (m) = 0.5 Kg ,

                    ball strikes the wall (v₁) = 5 m/s ,

rebounds in opposite direction (v₂) = 2 m/s,

                                time duration (t) = 0.01 s,

        <em> Determine the force (F) = ?</em>

We know that from Newton's II law,

                                <em>F = m. a</em>  Newtons  

                                  (velocity acting in opposite direction, so <em>a = ( (v₁ + v₂)/t</em>

                                   = m × (v₁ + v₂)/t

                                   = 0.5 × (5 + 2)/0.01

                                  = 350 N

<em>The force acting up on the ball is 350 N</em>

Which of the following are important biotic factors that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

c. predation, competition, parasitism

Explanation:

The important and only biotic factors from the given choices that can affect the structure and organization of biological communities are predation, competition and parasitism.

These factors ensures that there are interaction between organisms of the same and different species and only occur in life.

Biotic factors are the living component of the ecosystem that dictates what happens therein.

  • Predation is an interaction between two organisms in which the predator, bigger organism feeds on the prey, smaller organism.
  • Competition occurs where two organism of the same or different species struggles for limited resources in the ecosystem.
  • Parasitism is an interaction where one organism feeds on the another and it causes harm to it. The organism feeding on another is called the parasite. And the one it is dependent on is the host.

All of these are biotic factors.
