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.

Which of the following is/are ALWAYS true concerning collision and transition state theory?

Scrat [10]

Answer:

1) Transition states are short-lived

Explanation:

Transition state theory explains the rates of elementary chemical reactions. It assumes a quasi-equilibrium between reactants and activated transition state complexes.

The following are the characteristics of transition states

Instability
Ill-defined
High energy
short-lived

The species that must collide for the reaction to occur are shown by the mechanism of reaction and not the balanced reaction itself

Intermediates are consumed in each step of the overall reaction, they are not short lived

Substance A has a heat capacity that is much greater than that of substance B. If 10.0 g of substance A initially at 30.0 ∘C is

astra-53 [7]

Explanation:

In a heat exchange, the temperature change is inversely proportional to the specific heat capacity. Since substance A has a heat capacity that is much greater than that of substance B, the temperature change of substance A will be less than the temperature change of substance B. Therefore, the final temperature is closer to that of $30^\circ C$ than $80^\circ C$ .

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?

Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>

Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>

According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
Acceleration= Force / M
Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

A skier is pulled by a towrope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 12 degrees with the horizontal. The rope moves

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given,

Work done by the rope 900 m/s.
Angle of inclination of the slope = $\theta\ =\ 12^o$
Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s
Length of the inclined surface = d = 8.0 m

part (a)

The rope is doing the work against the gravity on the skier to uplift up to the inclined surface. Therefore the work done by the rope is equal to the work done on the skier due to the gravity

$\therefore W_r\ =\ W_g\ =\ 900\ J$

In both cases the height attained by the skier is equal. and the work done by gravity does not depend upon the speed of the skier.

part (b)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 1.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

$Power\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W}{\dfrac{d}{v}}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{\Delta W\times v}{d}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ \dfrac{900\times 1.0}{8.0}\\\Rightarrow P\ =\ 112.5\ Watt$

Part (c)

Initial speed of the skier = v = 2.0 m/s.

Rate of the work done by the rope is power of the rope.

A 30kg mass is brought from the earth to the moon what is the weight on the earth

ozzi

Answer:

Solution

verified

Verified by Toppr

Given:

Mass of body = 30 kg

gravitational acceleration on the moon = 1.62 m/s

Weight of the body on the moon = Mass of the body×gravitational acceleration on the moon=30×1.62=48 N
