WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Komok [63]

Answer:

yes every action as an equal and and opposite reaction. if you throw a tool then it will give you a reaction and you will move back.

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if you as an astronaut in the described situation throw your tool in the direction that you are traveling (in the opposite direction of the space station), according to Newton's third law, you will be automatically moving towards the station

A rectangular piece of cardboard, whose area is 352 square centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2-centimeter sq

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

$xy=352$

$y=\dfrac{352}{x}$ -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

$2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432$

$x^2-38x+352=0$

$(x-16)(x-22)=0$

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

$y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22$

For x = 22

$y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16$

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.

Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

What are the two principle advantages of telescopes over eyes?

Stells [14]

Answer:

i) Telescopes can be used to view far distant objects but the human eye can't view far distant objects.

ii) Telescopes uses two convex lenses producing a magnified image while the human eye only possesses one convex lens (image seen are smaller than that viewed under telescopes)

Explanation:

The telescopes can be used to view far distant objects due to their presence of two convex lenses. The two convex lenses are the objective lens (lens closer to object) and the eye piece lens (lens closer to eye). The object to be viewed forms an intermediate image first before the final image is seen using the eye piece lens.

The human eye only possess one convex lens and as such cannot view far ranged objects.

A 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. What is the diameter of t

sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, $\rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

$R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

Also, V = IR

So,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

A is area of wire,

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}$ , r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

$\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m$

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.
