Answer;

-A triple beam balance

Explanation;

-Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Move to a different planet and an object's weight will change, but its mass will be the same. There are a couple of ways to measure mass. The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the other hand does change with location.

-Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

Which statements describe using genetic factors to influence the growth of organisms? Select the three (3) that apply.

Damm [24]

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.

A simple pendulum consists of a mass M attached to a string oflength L andnegligible mass. For this system, when undergoing smal

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The frequency of the pendulum is independent of the mass on the end. (c)

This means that it doesn't matter if you hang a piece of spaghetti or a school bus from the bottom end. If there is no air resistance, and no friction at the top end, and the string has no mass, then the time it takes the pendulum to swing from one side to the other only depends on the length of the string.

A horizontal circular curve on a highway is designed for traffic moving at 60 km/h. If the radius of the curve is 150 m, and if

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

Explanation:

Given data

Velocity (v) = 60 $\frac{m}{s}$

Radius = 150 m

The velocity of the car in this case is given by

$v = \sqrt{r g \tan \theta}$

$v^{2} = r g \tan \theta$

$\tan \theta = \frac{v^{2} }{rg}$

Put all the values in above formula we get

$\tan \theta = \frac{60^{2} }{(150)(9.81)}$

$\tan \theta =$ 2.446

$\theta = 67.76$ °

Therefore the value of the correct angle of banking for the road is $\theta = 67.76$ °

A rowboat passenger uses an oar to push the boat off the dock by exerting a force of 40N for 3.0s. What impulse acts on the boat

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

120 Ns

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on an object is given by:

$I=Ft$

where

F is the force applied

t is the time taken

In this problem, we have:

F = 40 N

t = 3.0 s

So, the impulse acting on the boat is

$I=Ft=(40 N)(3.0 s)=120 Ns$

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?

Tems11 [23]

Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.
