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-

Xenotransplantation of pig’s tissue into a human would allow easier passage for all types of zoonotic viruses.
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.

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m

Damm [24]

Answer

given,

Tension of string is F

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.

A carbon rod with a radius of 1.9 mm is used to make a resistor. What length of the carbon rod should be used to make a 3.7 Ω re

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Length = 2.32 m

Explanation:

Let the length required be 'L'.

Given:

Resistance of the resistor (R) = 3.7 Ω

Radius of the rod (r) = 1.9 mm = 0.0019 m [1 mm = 0.001 m]

Resistivity of the material of rod (ρ) = $1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m$

First, let us find the area of the circular rod.

Area is given as:

$A=\pi r^2=3.14\times (0.0019)^2=1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2$

Now, the resistance of the material is given by the formula:

$R=\rho( \frac{L}{A})$

Express this in terms of 'L'. This gives,

$\rho\times L=R\times A\\\\L=\frac{R\times A}{\rho}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for length 'L'. This gives,

$L=\frac{3.7\ \Omega\times 1.13\times 10^{-5}\ m^2}{1.8\times 10^{-5}\ \Omega\cdot m}\\\\L=\frac{4.181}{1.8}=2.32\ m$

Therefore, the length of the material required to make a resistor of 3.7 Ω is 2.32 m.

0.22 L of pancake syrup has a mass of 33 g.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a. 150 g/L

b. 75 g

c. 120 mL

Explanation:

a. 33g/0.22L=150 g/L

b. 33g/0.22L=150 g/L

150 g/L*0.5L=75g

c. 0.22L/33g=0.006667L/g

0.006667L/g*18g=0.12L

0.12L*1000=120mL
