By copying their genomes, they retain the tool kit and at the same time generate a garage full of spare parts. Gene duplication can provide the raw material for expression changes to occur, and polyploidy itself can trigger epigenetic changes
The weight of the meterstick is:

and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance

from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:

from which we find the value of d2:

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
Answer:

Explanation:
Given that,
Heat required, Q = 1200 J
Mass of the object, m = 20 kg
The increase in temperature, 
We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

So, the specific heat of the object is
.
Answer:
h = 10000 m
Explanation:
The pressure applied at a depth of the liquid is given by:
P =ρgh
where,
P = Maximum Pressure to Survive = (1000)(Atmospheric Pressure)
P = (1000)(101325 Pa) = 1.01 x 10⁸ Pa
ρ = Density of sea water = 1025 kg/m³
g = 9.8 m/s²
h = maximum depth to survive = ?
Therefore,
1.01 x 10⁸ Pa = (1025 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)h
h = (1.01 x 10⁸ Pa)/(1025 kg/m³)(9.8 m/s²)
<u>h = 10000 m</u>
