Answer: When a liquid substance is poured into a vessel, it takes the shape of the vessel, and, as long as the substance stays in the liquid state, it will remain inside the vessel. Furthermore, when a liquid is poured from one vessel to another, it retains its volume (as long as there is no vaporization or change in temperature) but not its shape.

Explanation: A solid has a definite shape and volume. A liquid has a definite volume, but takes the shape of its container. A gas lacks either a defined shape or volume. Plasma is similar to a gas in that its particles are very far apart, but a gas is electrically neutral and plasma has a charge.

A 4.30 g bullet moving at 943 m/s strikes a 730 g wooden block at rest on a frictionless surface. The bullet emerges, traveling
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

(a)2.7 m/s

(b) 5.52 m/s

Explanation:

The total of the system would be conserved as no external force is acting on it.

Initial momentum = final momentum

⇒(4.30 g × 943 m/s) + (730 g × 0) = (4.30 g × 484 m/s) + (730 g × v)

⇒ 730 ×v = (4054.9 - 2081.2) =1973.7

⇒v=2.7 m/s

Thus, the resulting speed of the block is 2.7 m/s.

(b) since, the momentum is conserved, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass would be constant.

V_{COM} = \frac{m_b}{m_b+m_{bl}}v_{bi}=\frac{4.30}{4.30+730}\times 943 m/s = 5.52 m/s

Thus, the speed of the bullet-block center of mass is 5.52 m/s.

Why is genetic stability important?​
kap26 [50]

Answer: DNA polymerase and DNA ligase also are important in DNA replication. In addition to maintaining the integrity of DNA sequences by DNA repair, an accurate duplication of DNA is a prerequisite for all cell divisions.

In prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells the amount of water in the cell is kept at a steady state. The organelles
Len [333]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It would not be C because prokaryotic cells don't have a nucleus. And if you're looking for a body in the cell that controls the nutrients and water it would be A.

In measuring the width of a hair sample, a light of wavelength 500 nm is used. The hair sample is 40 um in radius. With the scre
sergejj [24]

Answer:

The distance of the second dark band away from the central bright spot be located is 5.625\times10^{-2}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Wave length = 500 nm

Radius d= 40\ \mu m

Distance from the hair sample D= 6 m

We need to calculate the distance of the second dark band away from the central bright spot be located

\sin\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}

\sin\theta=\dfrac{y}{6}

Using formula for dark fringe

(n-\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda=2d\sin\theta

Put the value into the formula

(2-\dfrac{1}{2})\times500\times10^{-9}=2\times40\times10^{-6}\times\dfrac{y}{6}

y=\dfrac{(2-\dfrac{1}{2})\times500\times10^{-9}\times6}{2\times40\times10^{-6}}

y=0.05625\ m

y=5.625\times10^{-2}\ m

Hence, The distance of the second dark band away from the central bright spot be located is 5.625\times10^{-2}\ m
