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.

A certain string can withstand a maximum tension of 39. N without breaking. A child ties a 0.43 kg stone to one end and, holding

frez [133]

Answer:

Bottom of the circle.

Explanation:

At the top of the circle the tension and the weight contribute on being the centripetal force, at the middle of the circle only the tension contributes on being the centripetal force (the weight being perpendicular to it), while <u>at the bottom</u> of the circle the tension contributes on being the centripetal force (as always) <em>but the weight against to it</em>, so here is where the tension must be greater to allow the same centripetal force as the other cases, thus here is where the string will break.

A bus traveling at 24 m/s slows down to 12 m/s in 5.0 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Contact [7]

Answer:

a = -2.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The initial speed of the bus, u = 24 m/s

The final speed of bus, v = 12 m/s

Time taken to reach final speed is, t = 5.0 s

The acceleration of the body is given by the change in velocity by time

a = (v - u) / t

= (12 - 24) / 5

= -2.4 m/s²

The negative sign in the acceleration indicates that the bus is decelerating.

Therefore, the acceleration of the bus is, a = -2.4 m/s²

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= - .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .

A single circular loop of wire of radius 0.75 m carries a constant current of 3.0 A. The loop may be rotated about an axis that

NISA [10]

Answer:

B = 0.8 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m

Current in the loop, I = 3 A

The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.

When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.

We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :

$\tau=NIAB\sin\theta$

B is magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{\tau}{NIA\sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{1.8}{1\times \pi \times (0.75)^2\times 3\times \sin(25)}\\\\B=0.8\ T$

So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.

A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, leaving a dent 22 cm deep in the tru

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Acceleration of the meteorite, $a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

A Meteorite after striking struck a car, v = 0

Initial speed of the Meteorite, u = 130 m/s

Distance covered by Meteorite, s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

We need to find the magnitude of its deceleration. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{-(130)^2}{2\times 0.22}$

$a=-38409.09\ m/s^2$

So, the deceleration of the Meteorite is $-38409.09\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
