Physics

jasenka [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Since there are hundreds of nails, instead of puncturing your skin the nails actually support you.

Explanation:

If you step on the point of a nail, your foot exerts a tremendous amount of pressure on the nail's tiny point. As a result, the point can go straight through your foot. But a bed of nails has lots of points that are close together -- there's a lot of surface area for the body to cover. Hundreds of nails support the weight of your body instead of just one. Typically, your body doesn't exert enough pressure on any one nail for it to break the skin. You can even place a second bed on top of you and break a cinderblock on it. The resulting force is distributed over all of the nails, so you shouldn't be injured.

A.) If its booster rockets accelerate the space shuttle at 15m/s2, how high will it be one minute after launch?
poizon [28]

Answer:

27,000 m

450 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 15 m/s²

t = 60 s

A) Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 27,000 m

B) Find: v_avg

v_avg = Δy / t

v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s

v_avg = 450 m/s

shepuryov [24]

<u>Answer</u>

0.00346 hL

<u>Explanation</u>

cL means Centilitre while hL means Hectolitre.

10,000 cL = 1 hL

∴ 34.6 cL = 34.6/10,000  hL

                = <em>0.00346 hL</em>

What is the Genetic Modification Process?<br><br> Brainlyist for the best answer
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Production of GMOs is a multistage process which can be summarized as follows:

1. identification of the gene interest;

2. isolation of the gene of interest;

3. amplifying the gene to produce many copies;

4. associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmids;

5. multiplying the plasmid in bacteria and recovering the cloned construct for injection;

6. transference of the construct into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized eggs;

7. integration of gene into recipient genome;

8. expression of gene in recipient genome; and

9. inheritance of gene through further generations.
