If a car is traveling 100 km/h west and comes to a stop in 3 min, what is the car's acceleration?

Answer:

0.15 m/s² east

Explanation:

We can use following kinematic equation for Uniformly-Accelerated Motion to solve this problem:

<h3>v = v₀ + a × t</h3>

Where <em>v</em> is the final velocity, <em>v₀ </em>is the initial velocity, <em>a</em> is the acceleration and <em>t </em>is the time interval.

<u>The data of the problem is:</u>

  • v₀ = - 100km/h (remember to have a frame of reference, I decided traveling west will be towards the negative values and traveling east will be positive).
  • v = 0 km/h (the car comes to a full stop)
  • t = 3 min

<u>Replacing the data in the formula</u>:

0 km/h = -100 km/h + a × 3 min

It's very important to use the same units when solving problems. I will convert kilometer to meters and hour or minutes to seconds, because the answer choices are given in m/s².

  • 0 km/h = 0 m/s
  • \frac{100 \ km}{\ \ h} * \frac{1000\ m}{1\ km} * \frac{1\ \ h}{3600\ s} = \frac{27.78\ m}{\ \ \ \ s}
  • 3 min * \frac{60\ s}{1\ m} = 180 s

Then:

0 m/s = -27.78 \ m/s + a * 180 s\\+27.78 m/s = a * 180 s\\

\frac{+27.78 \ m/s}{180\ s} = a\\\\+ 0.15 m/s^2 = a

And considering our frame of reference, a positive sign indicates that the acceleration is east-bound.

perspective that our genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics
topjm [15]

Environmental factors often influence traits independently of genes. Either of these effects can change the proteins that are made from a gene, which in turn affects traits.

How do environment and gene determine our personality?

Some genes increase the characteristic and others work to decrease the same characteristic-complex relationship among the various genes, as well as a variety of random factors, produce the final outcome.

Because of their genetic makeup, individuals differ in their responsiveness to the qualities of the environment. There are unique, genetically influenced reactions to particular experiences to which we are exposed.

The presence of drugs and chemicals in an organism's environment can also influence gene expression in the organism. The environment can affect morphological and physiological development whereas genes influence morphology and physiology, creating a framework within which the environment acts to shape the behavior of an individual.

Hence in this way, genes and environmental influences work together to determine our characteristics.

Upon centrifugation, particles sediment at different rates due to their physical properties. Tropomyosin is a rod-shaped protein
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Elongated shape

Explanation:

Centrifugation separates molecules on the basis of angular motion.

Due to spherical shape, the value of 'f' is lesser for a spherical protien than the rod shaped one.

Hence the sedimentation coefficient for an elongated protien is 2.6S while htat of a spherical protien is 4.31S.

Hence its elongated shape results in slow centrifugation.

Some of the important principles of centrifugation are as follows :

  • The greater the mass, the more is the sedimentation rate i-e the one with greater mass will move down more rapidly as compared to the one with les mass.
  • Shape of particles also effect it, the rounder the particle, the lower frictional coeeficient.
  • Density of particles
  • Density of fluid

Benefits of Microscopes
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The light microscope is able to produce images in their natural color because photons of visible light are utilized as a light source and color is a function of light. Both transmission and scanning electron microscopes are not able to produce images in their natural colors because they utilize beams of electrons to image specimens. <em>They produce grayscale images instead because the regions of the specimen where electrons pass through are usually white while other regions remain black.</em>
