Whats the difference between identical and fraternal twins

Twin type has less to do with what twins look like and more to do with how they formed.
Identical, or monozygotic, twins form when a single fertilized egg splits and develop as two babies in the uterus. Identical twins originate from the same combination of cells and have the same genetic origin. They are ALWAYS the same sex, two girls/two boys. They may look very similar and it may be difficult to tell them apart.
Fraternal, or dizygotic, twins are two individuals from the same pregnancy who from TWO SEPARATE eggs fertilized by TWO SEPARATE SPERM. The genetic similarity between fraternal twins is the same as any two siblings, about 50 percent. They can be boys, girls, or one of each.

Sawyer launches his 180 kg raft on the Mississippi River by pushing on it with a force of 75N. How long must Sawyer push on the
Daniel [21]

Answer: 4.8 s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m=180 kg the mass of the raft

F=75 N the force applied by Sawyer

V=2 m/s the raft's final speed

V_{o}=0 m/s the raft's initial speed (assuming it starts from rest)

We have to find the time t

Well, according to Newton's second law of motion we have:

F=m.a (1)

Where a is the acceleration, which can be expressed as:

a=\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t}=\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}} (2)

Substituting (2) in (1):

F=m\frac{V-V_{o}}{t-t_{o}} (3)

Where t_{o}=0

Isolating t from (3):

t=\frac{m(V-V_{o})}{F} (4)

t=\frac{180 kg(2 m/s-0 m/s)}{75 N}

Finally:

t=4.8 s

The gravitational force between two objects that
leonid [27]

Answer:

The answer to your question is    m₂ = 38.5 kg

Explanation:

Data

distance = d = 2.1 x 10⁻¹ m

Force = 3.2 x 10⁻⁶ N

m₁ = 55 kg

m₂ = ?

G = 6.67 x 10 ⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Newton's law of Universal Gravitation.

             F = G m₁m₂ / r²

-Solve for m₂

            m₂ = Fr² / Gm₁

2.- Substitution

            m₂ = (3.2 x 10⁻⁶)(2.1 x 10⁻¹)² / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹)(55)

3.- Simplification

            m₂ = 1.411 x 10⁻⁷ / 3.669 x 10⁻⁹

4.- Result

            m₂ = 38.5 kg

Which explains why more energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions? Chemical reactions are always endoth
Natali [406]
More energy is released in nuclear reactions than in chemical reactions; this is because in nuclear reactions, mass is converted to energy. Nuclear energy released in nuclear fission and fusion is several 100 million times as large as an ordinary chemical reaction like the combustion process. The reason why nuclear energy release so much energy is because tremendous amounts of energy is released at one time. The nuclei in a nuclear reaction undergo a chain reaction, causing the neutrons to move extremely fast and release high amounts of energy.

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)
