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.

Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

We know that, acids and strong bases are good conductors of electricity!. And gold conducts electricity , while the best is silver and niext comes gold!. And H20 which is water contains less ions , so it is not a good conductors , it is a conductors but not a good conductor!. Salt in it's solid for cannot produce ions, hence, it cannot conduct electricity , but when this salt is mixed with water or when it is in it's molten state it can conduct electricity!. So now,the answer for the question is ,

B) III and IV only!.

Hope my answer helps!

One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched

mash [69]

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

$c=\frac {F}{y}$

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

$c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930$

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

$y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm$

A ball of mass 0.500 kg is carefully balanced on a shelf that is 2.70 m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential en

ratelena [41]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

height of the shelf, h = 2.7 m

The gravitational potential energy is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

m is mass of the ball

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the ball

Substitute the givens and solve for gravitational potential energy;

PE = (0.5 x 9.8 x 2.7)

P.E = 13.23 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) $E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh$

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) $E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) $E=mgh$

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) $h=\frac{v^2}{2g}$

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) $cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}$

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) $\phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})$
