Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies. true or false?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A dominant trait is a trait that is inherited from parents. It is a trait that is obtained from a particular copy or type of a gene that overshadows or overwhelms the effects of another type or copy of that gene. Dominant traits are controlled by a single gene.

Therefore , as the trait is dominant and controlled by a single gene,the mutation must have occurred on both diploid copies is a false statement.

Why does the earth bulge at the equator?
sattari [20]

centrifugal force is a fictitious force. What is happening is that since the earth itself is not a rigid body it will deform when under motion. Although gravity attempts to make the earth spherical, as it is rotating the earth deforms, in such away that it flattens to become an oblique spheroid. This happens as the material at the equator must have a net resultant centripetal force (not centrifugal) which causes its position of equilibrium from the center of the earth to be further away than at the poles as they do not have this force as they are not rotating around the center of mass.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N
