Answer:
- increasing use of hybrid crops
- altering genes in DNA to create new plants
- developing disease or pest resistant crops
Explanation:
The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.
For example,
- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.
- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.
- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
Answer:
x = 1.00486 m
Explanation:
The complete question is:
" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)? "
Solution:
- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:
F = - dU / dx
F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx
F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:
0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4
x^4 = 20.8/20.4
x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25
x = 1.00486 m
Answer:
A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.
Explanation:
As we can assume that the rate of snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:
T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr
A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:
A=4.pi.R^2
Then dividing the areas:
A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) = (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9
Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:
T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr
Answer:
1) the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W
2) The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m
3) u₁ = 69.24 m
Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther
Explanation:
Lets say that I am at a distance "u" from the TV,
Let I₁ be the corresponding intensity of the sound at my location when sound level is 125dB
SO
S(indB) = 10log (I₁/1₀)
we substitute
125 = 10(I₁/10⁻¹²)
12.5 = log (I₁/10⁻¹²)
10^12.5 = I₁/10^-12
I₁ = 10^12.5 × 10^-12
I₁ = 10^0.5 W/m²
Now I₂ will be intensity of sound when corresponding sound level is 107 dB
107 = 10log(I₂/10⁻²)
10.7 = log(I₂/10⁻¹²)
10^10.7 = I₂ / 10^-12
I₂ = 10^10.7 × 10^-12
I₂ = 10^-1.3 W/m²
Now since we know that
I = P/4πu² ⇒ p = 4πu²I
THEN P₁ = 4πu²I₁ and P₂ =4πu²I₂
Therefore
P₁/P₂ = I₁/I₂
WE substitute
P₂ = P₁(I₂/I₁) = 1200 × ( 10^-1.3 / 10^0.5)
P₂ = 19.02 W
the new power coming from the amplifier is 19.02 W
2)
P₁ = 4πu²I₁
u =√(p₁/4πI₁)
u = √(1200/4π × 10^0.5)
u = 5.50 m
The distance away from the amplifier now is 5.50 m
3)
Let I₃ be the intensity corresponding to required sound level 85 dB
85 = 10log(I₃/10⁻¹²)
8.5 = log (I₃/10⁻¹²)
10^8.5 = I₃ / 10^-12
I₃ = 10^8.5 × 10^-12
I₃ = 10^-3.5 w/m²
Now, I ∝ 1/u²
so I₂/I₃ = u₁²/u²
u₁ = √(I₂/I₃) × u
u₁ = √(10^-1.3 / 10^-3.5) × 5.50
u₁ = 69.24 m
Therefore have to move u₁ - u ( 69.24 - 5.50) = 63.74 farther
Explanation:
Nope, displacement is a vector quantity, whereas distance is the scalar (magnitude) of the total displacement.
Hope this clears things up :))
