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.

An electron moving to the left at 0.8c collides with a photon moving to the right. After the collision, the electron is moving t
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Wavelength = 2.91 x 10⁻¹² m, Energy = 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴

Explanation:

In order to show that a free electron can’t completely absorb a photon, the equation for relativistic energy and momentum will be needed, along the equation for the energy and momentum of a photon. The conservation of energy and momentum will also be used.

E = y(u) mc²

Here c is the speed of light in vacuum and y(u) is the Lorentz factor

y(u) = 1/√[1-(u/c)²], where u is the velocity of the particle

The relativistic momentum p of an object of mass m and velocity u is given by

p = y(u)mu

Here y(u) being the Lorentz factor

The energy E of a photon of wavelength λ is

E = hc/λ, where h is the Planck’s constant 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s and c being the speed of light in vacuum 3 x 108m/s

The momentum p of a photon of wavelenght λ is,

P = h/λ

If the electron is moving, it will start the interaction with some momentum and energy already. Momentum of the electron and photon in the initial and final state is

p(pi) + p(ei) = p(pf) + p(ef), equation 1, where p refers to momentum and the e and p in the brackets refer to proton and electron respectively

The momentum of the photon in the initial state is,

p(pi) = h/λ(i)

The momentum of the electron in the initial state is,

p(ei) = y(i)mu(i)

The momentum of the electron in the final state is

p(ef) = y(f)mu(f)

Since the electron starts off going in the negative direction, that momentum will be negative, along with the photon’s momentum after the collision

Rearranging the equation 1 , we get

p(pi) – p(ei) = -p(pf) +p(ef)

Substitute h/λ(i) for p(pi) , h/λ(f) for p(pf) , y(i)mu(i) for p(ei), y(f)mu(f) for p(ef) in the equation 1 and solve

h/λ(i) – y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(f) – y(f)mu(f), equation 2

Next write out the energy conservation equation and expand it

E(pi) + E(ei) = E(pf) + E(ei)

Kinetic energy of the electron and photon in the initial state is

E(p) + E(ei) = E(ef), equation 3

The energy of the electron in the initial state is

E(pi) = hc/λ(i)

The energy of the electron in the final state is

E(pf) = hc/λ(f)

Energy of the photon in the initial state is

E(ei) = y(i)mc2, where y(i) is the frequency of the photon int the initial state

Energy of the electron in the final state is

E(ef) = y(f)mc2

Substitute hc/λ(i) for E(pi), hc/λ(f) for E(pf), y(i)mc² for E(ei) and y(f)mc² for E(ef) in equation 3

Hc/λ(i) + y(i)mc² = hc/λ(f) + y(f)mc², equation 4

Solve the equation for h/λ(f)

h/λ(i) + y(i)mc = h/λ(f) + y(f)mc

h/λ(f) = h/lmda(i) + (y(i) – y(f)c)m

Substitute h/λ(i) + (y(i) – y(f)c)m for h/λ(f)  in equation 2 and solve

h/λ(i) -y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(f) + y(f)mu(f)

h/λ(i) -y(i)mu(i) = -h/λ(i) + (y(f) – y(i))mc + y(f)mu(f)

Rearrange to get all λ(i) terms on one side, we get

2h/λ(i) = m[y(i)u(i) +y(f)u(f) + (y(f) – y(i)c)]

λ(i) = 2h/[m{y(i)u(i) + y(f)u(f) + (y(f) – y(i))c}]

λ(i) = 2h/[m.c{y(i)(u(i)/c) + y(f)(u(f)/c) + (y(f) – y(i))}]

Calculate the Lorentz factor using u(i) = 0.8c for y(i) and u(i) = 0.6c for y(f)

y(i) = 1/[√[1 – (0.8c/c)²] = 5/3

y(f) = 1/√[1 – (0.6c/c)²] = 1.25

Substitute 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s for h, 0.511eV/c2 = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg for m, 5/3 for y(i), 0.8c for u(i), 1.25 for y(f), 0.6c for u(f), and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the equation derived for λ(i)

λ(i) = 2h/[m.c{y(i)(u(i)/c) + y(f)(u(f)/c) + (y(f) – y(i))}]

λ(i) = 2(6.63 x 10-34)/[(9.11 x 10-31)(3 x 108){(5/3)(0.8) + (1.25)(0.6) + ((1.25) – (5/3))}]

λ(i) = 2.91 x 10⁻¹² m

So, the initial wavelength of the photon was 2.91 x 10-12 m

Energy of the incoming photon is

E(pi) = hc/λ(i)

E(pi) = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴)(3 x 10⁸)/(2.911 x 10⁻¹²) = 6.833 x 10⁻¹⁴ = 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴

So the energy of the photon is 6.8 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Which of the following happens to an object in uniform circular motion?
podryga [215]

Answer:

As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. ... Accelerating objects are objects which are changing their velocity - either the speed (i.e., magnitude of the velocity vector) or the direction. An object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed.

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the lizard average acceleration
VLD [36.1K]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

change in speed = (10 m/s) - (2 m/s)  =  8 m/s

Acceleration = (8 m/s) / (4 sec)

Acceleration = (8/4) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 2 m/s²</em>
