Answer:

Reflection: looking in window reflection. Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke. Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

If the frequency of q of a trait is 0.4, what is the frequency of p?

lianna [129]

In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .

A cord of mass 0.65 kg is stretched between two supports 8.0 m apart. If the tension in the cord is 120 N, how long will it take

DedPeter [7]

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

<h3>Given:</h3>

The mass of the cord is m = 0.65 kg.

The distance between the supports is, d = 8.0 m.

The tension in the cord is T = 120 N.

The time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is given as,

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

$t=\frac{d}{v}$

Here, v is the linear velocity of a pulse. Its value is,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{T d }{m} }$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{120 * 8}{0.65} }$

$v= 38.43 m/s$

Then,

$t=\frac{8}{38.43}$

$t=0.208 s$

Thus, the time taken by the pulse to travel from one support to the other is 0.208 s.

A 9.0-kg bowling ball on a horizontal, frictionless surface experiences a net force of 6.0 n. what will be its acceleration?

Vladimir [108]

This question involves the concepts of Newton's Second Law of Motion.

The acceleration of the bowling ball will be "0.67 m/s²".

<h3>Newton's Second Law of Motion</h3>

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, when an unbalanced force is applied on an object, it produces an acceleration in it, in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Mathematically,

$F=ma\\\\a=\frac{F}{m}$

where,

a = acceleration = ?
F = Magnitude of the applied force = 6 N
m = Mass of the ball = 9 kg

Therefore,

$a=\frac{6\ N}{9\ kg}$

a = 0.67 m/s²
