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.

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat. With what velocity does the jumper strike the mat in the landing area?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m

We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}$

v = 6.26 m/s

So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In an electricity experiment, a 1.10 g plastic ball is suspended on a 56.0 cm long string and given an electric charge. A charge

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Tension, T = 0.0115 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the plastic ball, m = 1.1 g

Length of the string, l = 56 cm

A charged rod brought near the ball exerts a horizontal electrical force F on it, causing the ball to swing out to a 21.0 degree angle and remain there. According to attached figure :

$T\cos\theta=mg$
