Answer:

3.) scientific field that uses technology to purposefully change living things

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments. One of the most important branch of science is bioengineering. Biotechnology can be defined as a high-tech process which avail scientists the opportunity or ability to modify, remove, replace and insert Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence in a living organism such as bacterias, animals, plants etc in order to correct a genetic disorder and to improve on their physical and chemical conditions.

For example, selective breeding also referred to as artificial selection is being used to create plants that are more resistant to certain biological diseases. Thus, this is an example of an organism being changed through technological methods commonly known as biotechnology.

Hence, the phrase which best defines biotechnology is that, it is the scientific field that uses technology to purposefully change living things.

Why are isotopes not shown on the periodic table
Fofino [41]

Hey there!

The periodic table is arranged by number of protons/electrons which is the same for all isotopes of an element. <u>A different isotope will have a different number of neutrons only, which does not qualify it for a separate space on the periodic table.</u>

I hope this helps!

You are making a telephone out of two aluminum cans and some string. You can choose between two types of string: a 2-m length of
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

Explanation:

A)You can choose either because they are the same length and will produce the same wave speed.

B)You should use the heavy rope.

C)You should use the thin cooking twine.

The speed of wave in a string is given by the following formula:

|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{u} }

Where |v| = speed of wave, F_T = tension in the string, and μ = mass per length of the string.

<em>Even though the two strings have the same length, the μ (mass/length) for the heavy rope will be more than the that of a thin rope. Consequently, the </em>F_T<em>:μ for the thin rope will be higher than that of the heavy rope and as such, gives a bigger |</em>v<em>|. </em>

Therefore, the thin rope should be used in order to get a faster wave speed in the telephone.

The correct option is C.

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Andru [333]

Answer:

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of height and velocity of the ball are the following:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

y = height at time t.

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the ball at time t.

Placing the origin at the throwing point, y0 = 0.

Let´s use the equation of velocity to obtain the time at which the velocity is 12.0 m/s / 2 = 6.00 m/s.

v = v0 + g · t

6.00 m/s = 12.0 m/s -9.81 m/s² · t

(6.00 - 12.0)m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 0.612 s

Now, let´s calculate the height of the baseball at that time:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²     (y0 = 0)

y = 12.0 m/s · 0.612 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (0.612 s)²

y = 5.51 m

The ball will have an upward velocity of 6 m/s at a height of 5.51 m.

Have a nice day!

10 turns of wire are closely wound around a pencil as shown in the figure. when measured using a scale as shown, the length of t
Mila [183]

Answer:

a. The thickness of the wire is 2.5 mm.

b. The wire is 0.25 cm thick.

Explanation:

Number of turns of the wire = 10

The length of total turns = 25 mm

a. The thickness of the wire can be determined by;

thickness of the wire = \frac{length of total turns}{number of turns}

                           = \frac{25}{10}

                           = 2.5 mm

Therefore, the wire is 2.5 mm thick.

b. To determine the thickness of the wire in centimetre;

10 mm = 1 cm

So that,

2.5 mm = x

x  = \frac{2.5}{10}

   = 0.25 cm

The wire is 0.25 cm thick.
