1 answer:

3 0

The term metabolic syndrome defines a group of risk factors which determine your risk for health issues such as heart disease, a stroke and diabetes. Abdominal weight gain (a), elevated blood fat (c) and insulin resistance (d) are all characteristics which will increase your risk of the above health issues. The only characteristic that will decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes and a stroke is reduced blood pressure (b). If you have any of these negative characteristics, it is important to work at reducing them; thereby, improving your health.

Solar evaporation ponds are shallow so that the sun can heat them up, causing the water to evaporate, which increases the salt c

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

Explanation:

B. stearothermophilus and S. ruber

In solar evaporation ponds the temperature is higher and the salt concentration is also higher because of the water evaporated so sunder such extreme conditions this hybrid bacteria is capable of surviving. B. stearothermophilus is thermophilus bacteria which grows at high temperature and S. ruber is halophilic bacteria which grows in saline environment. So, these two bacteria best suited for the above hybrid condition.

A baseball leaves a bat with a horizontal velocity of 20 m/s. In a time of 0.25 s, How far will it have traveled horizontally?

Maurinko [17]

Distance traveled by the ball is given by

$distance = speed \times time$

here we know that

speed = 20 m/s

times = 0.25 s

now we have

$distance = 20 \times 0.25$

$distance = 5 m$

so ball will travel 5 m distance in the given interval of time

A simple pendulum consists of a mass m (the "bob") hanging on the end of a thin string of length l and negligible mass. The bob

svetlana [45]

Answer:

The pendulum frequency is (c) the same, or very close to it

Explanation:

The simple pendulum corresponds to a simple harmonic movement, to reach this approximation in the expression of the force the sine of the angle (θ) approaches an angle value, this is only true for small angles, generally less than 15º

Sine (15th) = 0.2588

The angle in radians is 15º π / 180º = 0.26180.2588 / 0.2618

The difference between these two values is less than 1.2%

for smaller angle the difference is reduced more

Therefore, the period for both the 5º and 10º angles is almost the same
