The answer is; producing genetically modified organism

GMOs have been shown to produce varieties of organisms that have increased yields and are resistant to the upsets of climate change and diseases. GMOs are made by introducing genes into an organism that will confer particular desired traits such as disease and drought resistance.

Gaseous helium is in thermal equilibrium with liquid helium at 6.4 K. The mass of a helium atom is 6.65 × 10−27 kg and Boltzmann

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

Explanation:

The most probable speed:

$v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2K_bT}{m}}$

$K_b$ = Boltzmann’s constant = $1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K$

T = temperature of the gas

m = mass of the gas particle.

Given, m = $6.65\times 10^{-27} kg$

T = 6.4 K

Substituting all the given values :

$v_{mp}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.38066\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 6.4 K}{6.65\times 10^{-27} kg}}$

$v_{mp}=162.78 m/s$

162.78 m/s is the most probable speed of a helium atom.

In an arcade game a 0.099 kg disk is shot across a frictionless horizontal surface by compressing it against a spring and releas

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of $m = 0.099$ kg

Spring constant $k = 244 \frac{N}{m}$

Compression of spring $x = 4 \times 10^{-2}$ m

From energy conservation theorem,

Spring potential energy converted into kinetic energy,

$\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{k x^{2} }{m} }$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{244 \times 16 \times 10^{-4} }{0.099} }$

$v = 1.98 \frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, the speed of disk is 1.98 $\frac{m}{s}$

Two parallel conducting plates are separated by 10.0 cm, and one of them is taken to be at zero volts. (a) what is the electric

Alex_Xolod [135]

The expression for the magnitude of the electric field between two uniform conducting plates is

$E=\frac{V}{d}$

Here, V is potential difference between plates and d is separation between plates.

As the potential 6.00 cm from the zero volt plate (and 4.00 cm from the other) is 420 V.

Therefore,

$E = \frac{420 \ V}{6 \times 10^{-2} m } = 70 \times 10^2 \ V/m$

Thus, the electric field strength between the plates is 7000 V/ m

A green light is submerged 2.70 m beneath the surface of a liquid with an index of refraction 1.31. What is the radius of the ci

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The radius is $r = 3.1905 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance beneath the liquid is $d = 2.70 \ m$

The refractive index of the liquid is $n_i = 1.31$

Now the critical value is mathematically represented as

$\theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{n_i} ]$

substituting values

$\theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{1}{131} ]$

$\theta = 49.76^o$

Using SOHCAHTOA rule we have that

$tan \theta = \frac{ r}{d}$

=> $r = d * tan \theta$

substituting values

$r = 2.7 * tan (49.76)$

$r = 3.1905 \ m$
