Answer:

The distance between them is changing at the speed of 10.16 m/hr

Explanation:

Consider the sketch attached below.

The question is simply asking to calculate the resultant of the two velocities.

To get the angle between them, we simply use the coordinates of the two vectors to determine the angle between them.  

90 + 45 = 135°

from the cosine rule we have

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - 2abcosθ

c^{2} = 6^{2} +5^{2} - 2 ×6×5×cos 135

c^{2} = 103.426

c = \sqrt{103.426}

c = 10.17 m/hr

Which of the following statements is true about passive transport?
user100 [1]

Answer:

No cellular energy is needed in the Passive transport.

Explanation:

A movement of atomic molecules and ions throughout the cell membrane is known as passive transport. In this transportation of molecules no cellular energy is used.

As this movement is influenced by the tendency to grow as entropy, the energy is not in need unlike the active transport. Its rate depends on the permeability of cell membrane. There are four types of passive transport- facilitated diffusion, simple diffusion osmosis or filtration.

A single strand of DNA helix consists of 100 nitrogenous base pairs. On one strand, 36 of the bases are adenine and 24 are cytos
Katena32 [7]
Hello!

For the complementary strand of DNA, 36 Thymine bases and 24 Guanine bases would complete the proper base pairing. 

This is given by the concept of complementarity. A base in DNA has complementarity with only one other base. This complementarity is produced by hydrogen bond interactions.

For DNA, Adenine couples with Thymine and Cytosine couples with Guanine. So the 36 adenine bases will couple with 35 thymine bases, and so on. 

Have a nice day!
