NASA has proposed a mission to one of Jupiter's moons to look for potential signs of life. The spacecraft will have 9,862.5 Joul

es of potential energy when it is 60 meters above the surface. If the spacecraft has a mass of 125 kg, what is the gravitational constant of the moon? (units will be m/s^2)

Answer: The gravitational constant of the moon is 1.315ms^{-2}

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

P.E=mgh

where

P.E = potential energy = 9862.5 J

m = mass of object = 125 kg

g =  gravitation constant   = ?

h = height of object = 60 m

Putting the values we get :

9862.5kgm^2s^{-2}=125kg\times g\times 60m

g=1.315ms^{-2}

How would you revise the simulation so users can evaluate the role of human activity in the pH of the ocean? NEED HELP NOW!!!
ladessa [460]

Answer: I would increase the temperature of the ocean and lower the percentage of pH so that users see how the ocean is affected by human activity, human activity causes the pollution of the air that causes CO2, which leads to all that CO2 is absorbed by the seas thus increasing the amount of acidity which brings as a consequence the increase in temperature and the dissolution of coral reefs.

Imagine a genomic researcher who is analyzing the genome of different types of cats. She finds that a particular sequence in the
egoroff_w [7]

Answers:

  1. The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
  2. The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.

1- Explanation:

6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.

For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.

2- Explanation:

A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

Hope it help!

ahrayia [7]
It seems that you have missed the given options for this question, but anyway here is the answer. Since an amoeba is a unicellular organism that doesn't have a stomach, its f<span>ood storage and digestion take place inside a food vacuole in the cytoplasm of amoeba. Once digested, it reaches each cell organelle. Hope this answer helps.</span>
