Answer:

Kayaks have become an increasingly popular means of enjoying sporting and leisure boating activities. Kayaks resemble canoes in that both are long, narrow, lightweight paddle boats which are pointed at both ends. Like canoes, kayaks have a hull, which is the hollow bottom shell of the boat. However, several features distinguish kayaks from canoes. Kayaks are water displacement vessels, which means they float just below the surface, forcing the water to be pushed aside as they move. Canoes, on the other hand, float on the water's surface. Because the kayak sits lower in the water, it requires a deck. The deck is the semienclosed covering on the kayak's top. The purpose of the deck is to keep waves from washing over the edges of the boat and filling the hull with water. The cockpit is the opening placed in the center of the deck where the kayaker sits. The cockpit is surrounded by a raised lip called the coaming. Other kayak features include interior braces and bulkheads, interior flotation devices, and a cord called the grab loop attached to each end for towing and mooring. Some kayaks include elastic strapping or bungee cord s across the deck for carrying lightweight equipment. Other kayaks have waterproof hatches that give access to the forward and aft compartments for additional storage. Some sea kayaks have a rudder controlled by foot pedals to assist steering.

Kayaking is an excellent way to exercise and relax at the same time. A person sits upright in a kayak with legs extended to the front into the hollow hull. A double-bladed paddle is used for propulsion. Kayakers pull their crafts through the water by paddling with left and right strokes. A kayaker wears a life vest and, sometimes, a protective helmet. Waterproof spray skirts may also be worn. Spray skirts fit around the upper torso of the kayaker and attach to the deck around the cockpit opening to prevent water from splashing into the cockpit when navigating rough water.

The two most common uses of kayaks are racing and recreational boating. Racing kayaks are built for speed and maneuvering on river rapids, while recreational kayaks are built for comfort and longer distance paddling on oceans and lakes. Other design features distinguish racing from recreational kayaks. For example, racing hulls are narrow and v-shaped, whereas recreational hulls are more rounded. The number of seating areas for racing would typically be not more than two, while up to four seats might be provided for recreational purposes. The length, width, and weight would vary as well. Racing models tend to be shorter in length, 11-13 feet (3-4 m) long, and much lighter than recreational models. Some highly specialized racing kayaks weigh less than 25 pounds (11 kg). A typical recreational model will be 13-20 feet (4-6 m) long and may weigh as much as 75 pounds (34 kg). Most designs are no wider than 35 inches (89 cm) across.

Answer:

Roto-molding creates a seamless kayak, which tends to be more expensive because they typically last longer. A large mold is filled with powdered plastic, which is put into an oven. The oven melts the powdered plastic into a liquid. It is then cooled into the final product: a seamless kayak

Newsweek in 1989 reported that 60% of young children have blood lead levels that could impair their neurological development. As
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is 83.38%.

Explanation:

The probability of young children having blood levels that impair their neurological development is given as 60% in the question. To find the probability of at least 5 children out of 10 in a sample having said blood levels, we need to use the binomial probability.

n represents the total number of children in the sample so n = 10 and p is the probability of the children having blood levels causing the problem which is 60% so p = 0.6.

We want the probability of it being observed for 5 or more children and that is P(x\geq 5). If we subtract the P( x\leq 4) from 1, which is the probability of not observing the condition in 5 or more children, we will have the P(x\geq 5).

1 - P(x\leq 4) = 1 - pbinom(4, 10, 0.6) which are the probability range in the function, the sample size and the probability of observing the condition respectively.

The result is 1 - 0.1662 = 0.8338 which means that the probability that is asked is 83.38%.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

B. A helicase enzyme unwinds the DNA molecule, then corresponding nucleotides are added to the separated original strand forming two separate semiconservative molecules

Explanation:

DNA Replication is an important phenomenon as far as cell division is concerned. It is the process whereby a DNA molecule doubles its content or forms two DNA molecules from one.

In the semi-conservative model of DNA replication, an enzyme called DNA helicase unwinds the double stranded DNA molecule into two single strands. The single strands are then used as template for DNA polymerase to synthesize another molecule of DNA. Hence, two separate DNA molecules comprising of one old strand and one new strand.

Which statements fail to meet the requirements for scientific claim ?
ella [17]

___________________________________________________________

Answer:

The correct answer would be the first and third statements.

___________________________________________________________

___________________________________________________________

Explanation:

A scientific claim is defined as a statement which is a conclusion obtained from numerous experiments and observations.The scientific claim usually remains the same in the provided conditions. In the first statement, Copernicus's model stating that the planets revolve in the circular orbits around the sun was not accepted and thus, it is not a scientific claim. Similarly, Newton's laws of motion are uniform and work properly in the environment. Thus, it also does not form a scientific claim.
