Is distance traveled by a moving train qualitative discrete continuous or na?

1 answer:

8 0

Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are distinct, and typically there's some idea of a next and a previous value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.

Motion is measured with continuous values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no "next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.

It's also measured quantitatively, not qualitatively. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?

kogti [31]

When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.

What are the genotypes of gametes of a aabb self-pollination??

Rus_ich [418]

All of the possibilities would be aabb. There are no dominant traits to come through from the self pollinating plant so therefore, the offspring would would have the same genotypes.

I apologize for the messy graph in advance. If you have any further questions please let me know

A soccer player pumps air into a soccer ball until no more air can be pushed inside. Describe the air inside the soccer ball com

Answer:

the filling stops when the pressure of the pump equals the pressure of the interior air plus the pressure of the walls.

Explanation:

This exercise asks to describe the inflation situation of a spherical fultball.

Initially the balloon is deflated, therefore the internal pressure is equal to the pressure of the air outside, atmospheric pressure, when it begins to inflate the balloon with a pump this creates a pressure in the inlet valve and as it is greater than the pressure inside, the air enters it, this is repeated in each filling cycle, manual pump.

When the ball is full we have two forces, the one created by the external walls and the one aired by the pressure of the pump, these forces are directed towards the inside, but the air molecules exert a pressure towards the outside, which translates into a force. When these two forces are equal, the pump is no longer able to continue introducing air into the balloon.

Consequently the filling stops when the pressure of the pump equals the pressure of the interior air plus the pressure of the walls.
