Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:
x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a (EQUATION 1)
vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a (EQUATION 2)
Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2
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.
Peer review is important because it is used by scientists to decided which results should be published in a scientific journal
