What would be a disadvantage of asexual reproduction for an organism

1 answer:

5 0

A negative mutation can make asexually produced organisms susceptible to disease and can destroy large numbers of offspring. Some methods of asexual reproduction produce offspring that are close together and compete for food and space. Unfavourable conditions such as extreme temperatures can wipe out entire colonies.

A policeman is chasing a criminal across a rooftop at 10 m/s. He decides to jump to the next building which is 2 meters across f

valina [46]

Answer:

They will meet at a distance of 7.57 m

Given:

Initial velocity of policeman in the x- direction, $u_{x} = 10 m/s$

The distance between the buildings, $d_{x} = 2.0 m$

The building is lower by a height, h = 2.5 m

Solution:

Now,

When the policeman jumps from a height of 2.5 m, then his initial velocity, u was 0.

Thus

From the second eqn of motion, we can write:

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$2.5 = \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times t^{2}$

t = 0.707 s

Now,

When the policeman was chasing across:

$d_{x} = u_{x}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

$d_{x} = 10\times 0.707 + \frac{1}{2}\times 10\times 0.5 = 9.57 m$

The distance they will meet at:

9.57 - 2.0 = 7.57 m

An engine absorbs 1749 J from a hot reservoir and expels 539 J to a cold reservoir in each cycle. a. What is the engine’s effici

Masja [62]

Answer:

a)η = 69.18 %

b)W= 1210 J

c)P=3967.21 W

Explanation:

Given that

Q₁ = 1749 J

Q₂ = 539 J

From first law of thermodynamics

Q₁ = Q₂ +W

W=Work out put

Q₂=Heat rejected to the cold reservoir

Q₁ =heat absorb by hot reservoir

W= Q₁- Q₂

W= 1210 J

The efficiency given as

$\eta=\dfrac{W}{Q_1}$

$\eta=\dfrac{1210}{1749}$

$\eta=0.6918$

η = 69.18 %

We know that rate of work done is known as power

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

$P=\dfrac{1210}{0.305}\ W$

P=3967.21 W
