<h2>Answer: size</h2>

Gel electrophoresis is called to the technique used by scientists for analytical purposes, in life sciences laboratories to separate macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins from various sources).

The process consists of separating the molecules according to their size and electric charge. This is done with a gel (a gelatinous substance extracted from seaweed, called agarose) of controllable porosity placed in an ionic buffer environment. This is how the gel acts as a molecular sieve that separates larger molecules from the smaller ones, because each molecule has different size and charge and will move through the gel at different speeds.

That is, the smaller molecules move more quickly through the gel while the larger ones are left behind.

Briefly describe the three intelligences included in Robert Sternberg’s triarchic theory of human intelligence.

pshichka [43]

The triarchic theory of intelligence was formulated by Robert J. Sternberg, a prominent figure in research of human intelligence. The theory by itself was among the first to go against the psychometric approach to intelligence and take a more cognitive approach. The three meta components are also called triarchic components. These are the triarchic theory of human intelligence.
1. Analytical - Analytical Intelligence similar to the standard psychometric definition of intelligence e.g. as measured by Academic problem solving: analogies and puzzles, and corresponds to his earlier componential intelligence. Sternberg considers this reflects how an individual relates to his internal world.

Sternberg believes that Analytical Intelligence (Academic problem-solving skills) is based on the joint operations of metacomponents and performance components and knowledge acquisition components of intelligence

2. Practical - Practical Intelligence: this involves the ability to grasp, understand and deal with everyday tasks. This is the Contextual aspect of intelligence and reflects how the individual relates to the external world about him or her.

Sternberg states that Intelligence is: "Purposive adaptation to, shaping of, and selection of real-world environments relevant to one's life" (Sternberg, 1984, p.271)

3. Creative - Creative Intelligence: this involves insights, synthesis and the ability to react to novel situations and stimuli. This he considers the Experiential aspect of intelligence and reflects how an individual connects the internal world to external reality.

Sternberg considers the Creative facet to consist of the ability which allows people to think creatively and that which allows people to adjust creatively and effectively to new situations.

Sternberg believes that more intelligent individuals will also move from consciously learning in a novel situation to automating the new learning so that they can attend to other tasks.

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NBA$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2$

$\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2$

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

$\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

$\epsilon =IR$

$IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}$

$Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

$Idt=dq$

$dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

$dq=C dV$

$dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}$

Put the value into the formula

$dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}$

$dV=1.57\ V$

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Sam is observing the velocity of a car at different times. After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hour

Serhud [2]

For the answer to the question above, first find out the gradient.

m = rise/run 
=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) 

the x's and y's are the points given: "After three hours, the velocity of the car is 53 km/h. After six hours, the velocity of the car is 62 km/h" 
(x1,y1) = (3,53) 
(x2,y2) = (6,62) 

sub values back into the equation 
m = (62-53)/(6-3) 
m = 9/3 
m = 3 

now we use a point-slope form to find the the standard form 
y-y1 = m(x-x1) 
where x1 and y1 are any set of point given 
y-53 = 3(x-3) 
y-53 = 3x - 9 
y = 3x - 9 + 53 
y = 3x + 44 

y is the velocity of the car, x is the time.
I hope this helps.
