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.

In what speed does an object fall, if after 10 seconds it hits the surface of Earth?

Maru [420]

Answer:

98m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 10s

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below;

v = u + gt

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

so;

v = 0 + 9.8 x 10 = 98m/s

Two marbles (m = 0.050 kg each) moving on a table TOWARDS each other with the speed of 0.3 m/s collide, and start moving away fr

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

V1 = ____0.3______ m/s, V2 = ____-0.3______ m/s,

p1 = ____0.015______ kg m/s, p2 = ___-0.015_______ kg m/s,

ptotal = _0___________ kg m/s

Explanation:

Taking the marble ball that moves from right to left as Marble 1 and the one that moves from left to right as Marble 2. We take direction from left to right as negative and from right to left as positive. Therefore, velocity of marble 1 will be +0.3 m/s while velocity of marble 2 will be -0.3 m/s. The mass of marble 1, m2 0.05 Kg and same to marble 2, m2=0.05 Kg

Momentum is product of mass and velocity hence using p to represent momentum

P1=0.05*0.3=0.015 Kg m/s

P2=0.05*-0.3=-0.015 Kg m/s

V1=0.3 m/s, V2=-0.3 m/s

The total momentum before collision will be the sum of P1 and P2 hence 0.015 Kg m/s+-0.015 Kg m/s=0

Ptotal=0 Kg m/s
