Ice sheet movement rates have varied from about 50 to 320 meters per year for the margins of the ice sheet advancing from the hu

dson bay region during the ice age. if an ice sheet moved from the southern end of hudson bay to the south shore of present-day lake erie, a distance of 1600 kilometers, what would be the maximum amount of time required?

First let us convert the distance into meters.

distance = 1600 km = 1,600,000 m

 

Then we get the maximum time by dividing the distance with the smallest movement rate possible, that is:

maximum time = 1,600,000 m / (50 m / year)

<span>maximum time = 32,000 years</span>

If the magnitude of the moment of F about line CD is 57 N·m, determine the magnitude of F.If the magnitude of the moment of F ab
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

F_ab = 260.17 N

Explanation:

Given:

- Moment of force F about CD, (M)_cd = 57 Nm

Find:

- First we will write down the position vectors of points A, B , C , D:

- We will take left and bottom most corner of cube to be the origin.

- The unit vectors i , j , k are along vertical planes and outside the plane, respectively.

- The position vectors wrt to the origin are:

                             Point A = 0.2 k

                             Point B = 0.4 i + 0.2 j

                             Point C = 0.2 j + 0.4 k

                             Point D = 0.4 i + 0.4 k

- Now we will determine the Force vector F_ab along vector AB.

                             vec (AB) = B - A = 0.4 i + 0.2 j - 0.2 k

                             unit (AB) = 0.4 i + 0.2 j - 0.2 k  / sqrt ( 0.4^2 + 2*0.2^2)

                                            = [5 / sqrt(6)] * ( 0.4 i + 0.2 j - 0.2 k )

Hence,

                              vec(F_ab) = Fab*[5 / sqrt(6)] * ( 0.4 i + 0.2 j - 0.2 k )

- Now, form a unit vector along the line CD:

                             vec(CD) = D - C = 0.4 i - 0.2 j

                             unit (CD) = 0.4 i - 0.2 j / sqrt ( 0.4^2 + 0.2^2)

                                           = [sqrt(5)]*(0.4 i - 0.2 j)

- Now select a point on line CD, lets say C. Find the moment arm from line of action of force along AB and line CD. Hence, vector AC is:

                               vec(AC) =r_ac = C - A = 0.2 j + 0.2 k

- Now the moment about a line CD due to force is:

                              (M)_cd = unit(CD) . ( r_ac x vec(F_ab) )

The cross product of r_ac and vec(F_ab) is as follows:

                               (M)_c =  ( r_ac x vec(F_ab) ) :

                                \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\0&0.2&0.2\\0.8165&0.40824&-0.40824\end{array}\right]

                              (M)_c =  F_ab[- sqrt(6)/15 i + sqrt(6)/15 j - sqrt(6)/15 k]

The dot product of (M)_c and unit (CD)  is as follows:

                              (M)_cd = unit(CD) . (M)_c :

 (M)_cd = F_ab[- sqrt(6)/15 i + sqrt(6)/15 j - sqrt(6)/15 k] .  [sqrt(5)]*(0.4 i - 0.2 j)

                              (M)_cd = F_ab*(sqrt(30) / 25)

- The given magnitude of the moment is (M)_cd. Calculate F_ab:

                               57 = F_ab*(sqrt(30) / 25)  

                              F_ab = 260.17 N

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)
