How might mutations introduce variation into population
Alex787 [66]

Answer: See explanation for example

Explanation:

Mutations are changes in DNA. They change the way a stretch of gene is produced or reacts. Therefore, if mutations occur rapidly, it could introduce variations of actually anything!

A kind of variable that a researcher purposely changes in an investigation is constant. controlled. dependent. independent.
AysviL [449]
I think the correct answer would be the last option. A kind of variable that a researcher purposely changes in an investigation is the independent variable. It is the value that does not depend to any change in any variable involved. Instead, it is the one that affects the other variable called the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that is being tested or studied. Also, along with these two there are variables that are held equal all through out the research. These are called the constants. These constants are factors that might affect the dependent variable that is why they are held constant to prevent more errors.

A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or sh
zalisa [80]

Complete question:

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. In contrast,  a passenger not wearing a seat belt or using an air bag decelerates over a distance of 5mm.

(a) A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

Answer:

The net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the passenger, m = 60 kg

velocity of the car at impact, u = 15 m/s

final velocity of the car after impact, v = 0

distance moved as the front of the car crumples, s = 1 m

First, calculate the acceleration of the car at impact;

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 15² + (2 x 1)a

0 = 225 + 2a

2a = -225

a = -225 / 2

a = -112.5 m/s²

The net force on the person;

F = ma

F = 60 (-112.5)

F = -6750 N backwards

Therefore, the net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards

Which scientist was the first to propose the heliocentric model of the universe? A. Aristotle B. Isaac Newton C. Galileo Galilei
Annette [7]

The answer would defiantly be option D "Nicolaus Copernicus." Copernicus was first to purpose the model of the universe, back in 1543 he presented a heliocentric model of the universe, he also made a geocentric model.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

Magnetic field lines can be drawn by moving a small compass from point to point around a magnet. At each point, draw a short line in the direction of the compass needle. Joining the points together reveals the path of the magnetic field lines.
