Most scientists believe that it is caused by an abnormal protein in brain tissue, called a  prion, that can cause fatal disease when eaten.

Additionally, these types of proteins, as mentioned above, are caused by mutations in its actual production. Because all proteins have a specific shape, if one protein's shape is damaged in some way, then they will not be able to fulfill their purpose. In this case, the brain disease you mentioned has mutated and malformed proteins that are normally found to begin near the blood vessels in the neck.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given that,

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 Joules. It is moving upward with a kinetic energy of 50 Joules.

We need to find the maximum height h reached by the ball. Let at a height of 10 meters, it has a potential energy of 50 Joules. So,

mgH=50\\\\mg=\dfrac{50}{h}\\\\mg=\dfrac{50}{10}\\\\mg=5\ N ........(1)

Let at a height of h m, it reaches to a maximum height. at this point, it has a total of 100 J of energy. So,

mgh=50+50\\\\mgh=100\\\\h=\dfrac{100}{5}\\\\h=20\ m

So, the correct option is (E) "h = 20 m".

Identify the mathematical relationship that exists between pressure and volume, when temperature and quantity are held constant,
RSB [31]

Answer:

BOYLE'S Law

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that at constant temperature the volume of a fixed quantity of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of the gas.

Mathematically:

From the universal gas law we have:

P.V=n.R.T

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = no. of moles of gas

T = temperature of the gas

R = universal gas constant

when the mass of gas is fixed i.e. n is constant and temperature is also constant.

PV=constant

P\propto\frac{1}{V}

P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2

here the suffix 1 and 2 denote two different conditions of the same gas.
