How could pig xenotransplantation affect humans?

Physics
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago
5 0

It could cause them to catch animal disease

Explanation:

Xenotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues between different species. E.g. Chimpanzee organ (liver) being transplanted into a human body would come under the category of xenotransplantation.

Pigs have come up as prospective organ donors since their organs and tissues are more or less to that of human’s. However, there are issues such as-

  1. Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
  2. Moreover, if transgenic pigs are used instead of natural pigs it can lead to virus mutation as per the human body demands thus leading to increased susceptibility to human infection.

Thus,  engrafting of pig’s tissue in the human body poses a significant risk for humans of catching a zoonotic (animal) disease.

When the velocity of an object is doubled, by what factor is its momentum changed? By what factor is its kinetic energy changed?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.

Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.

If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i.e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

Sophie throws a tennis ball down from a height of 1.5 m at an angle of 450 with respect to vertical. She drops another tennis ba
Katena32 [7]

Given that,

Height =1.5 m

Angle = 45°

We need to find the greater speed of the ball

Using conservation of energy

P.E_{i}+K.E_{f}=P.E_{f}+K.E_{f}

mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2

Here, initial velocity and final potential energy is zero.

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2

Put the value into the formula

9.8\times1.5=\dfrac{1}{2}v_{f}^2

v_{f}^2=2\times9.8\times1.5

v_{f}=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.5}

v_{f}=5.42\ m/s

Hence, the greater speed of the ball is 5.42 m/s.
