Mutations can be transmitted to the next generation only if they are present in

Answer:

The germline (the gametes)

Explanation:

Mutations are permanent changes in the DNA sequence. They can occur randomly, from mistakes during DNA replication, or as the result of external factors like UV radiation.

For these mutations to be passed on to the next generation, they must be present in the DNA of the gametes(i.e. the egg and sperm cells). This is because this is the DNA that goes on to make the offspring in the next generation following fertilisation.

If mutations are present in somatic cells (i.e. cells other than the gametes), they are not passed on to the next generation. For example, if someone gets mutations in their skin cells as a result of exposure to UV rays, this will not be passed on to their children.

A spring with spring constant 11.5 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A 490 g ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to res

Natalija [7]

Answer:

The time constant is $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 11.5 \ N/m$

The mass of the ball is $m_b = 490 \ g = 0.49 \ kg$

The amplitude of the oscillation t the beginning is $x = 6.70 cm = 0.067 \ m$

The amplitude after time t is $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

The number of oscillation is $N = 30$

Generally the time taken to attain the second amplitude is mathematically represented as

$t = N * T$ Here T is the period of oscillation

$t = N * 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

=> $t = 30 * 2 * 3.142 * \sqrt{\frac{ 0.490}{11.5} }$

=> $t = 38.88 \ s$

Generally the amplitude at time t is mathematically represented as

$x(t) = x e^{-\frac{at}{2m} }$

Here a is the damping constant so

at $t = 38.88 \ s$ , $x_t = 2.20 cm = 0.022 \ m$

$0.022 = 0.067 e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $0.3284 = e^{-\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

taking natural log of both sides

=> $ln(0.3284 ) = -\frac{a * 38.88}{2 * 0.490} }$

=> $a = 0.028$

Generally the time constant is mathematically represented as

$\tau = \frac{m}{a}$

=> $\tau = \frac{0.490}{ 0.028}$

=> $\tau = 17.5 \ s$

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.
