Answer:

65m

Explanation:

Twelve waves pass a dock in 3.60 If the waves are traveling at 19.5 m/s , what is the wavelength of the waves?

Velocity of a wave is expressed as;

V = frequency × wavelength

Given

Velocity = 19.5m/s

Frequency is the number of oscillations completed in 1sec, hence

Frequency= 3.6/12

Frequency = 0.3

Wavelength = vel/freq

Wavelength = 19.5/0.3

Wavelength = 65m

Why do sex cells contain only half the number of chromosomes needed for offspring? Explain

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

None, egg cells don't have chromosomes. No, sex cells do have chromosomes. Meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomesâ€“one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number.

Vector A⃗ points in the negative y direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B⃗ has a magnitude of 15 km and points in the p

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

magnitude of A − B = 15.81 km

Explanation:

Vector A points in the negative y-direction and has a magnitude of 5 km. Vector B points in the positive x-direction and has a magnitude of 15 km.

According to Cartesian coordinate system, the resultant will start either from tail of A and ends at head of B and vice-versa.

A(0,-5)

B(15,0)

A - B = (-15 i - 5 j )

Magnitude of the vector is given by

|A - B| = $\sqrt{(-15)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}$

|A - B| = $\sqrt{250}$

|A - B| = 15.81 km

How does the scientific process generally begin?

Murljashka [212]

There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis

A solution containing 10.0 g of an unknown liquid and 90.0 g water has a freezing point of -3.33 °C. Given Kf = 1.86 °C/m for wa

Fantom [35]

Answer:

62.06 g/mol

Explanation:

We are given that a solution containing 10 g of an unknown liquid and 90 g

Given mass of solute = $W_B$ =10 g

Given mass of solvent= $W_A$ =90 g

$k_f=1.86^{\circ}C/m$

Freezing point of solution =-3.33 $^{\circ}$ C

Freezing point of solvent = $0^{\circ}$ C

Change in freezing point =Depression in freezing point

=Freezing point of solvent - freezing point of solution=0+3.33= $3.33^{\circ}$

$\Delta T_f=\frac{W_B\times K_f\times 1000}{W_A\times M_B}$

$M_B=\frac{10\times 1.86\times 1000}{3.33\times 90}$

$M_B=62.06 g/mol$

Hence, molar mass of unknown liquid is 62.06g/mol.

The speed of light in a vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which gives this number in three significant digits? 299,000,000. m/s 2.99 x

dexar [7]

Answer: $2.99(10)^{-8} m/s$

Explanation:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.

Then, the significant figures (or significant digits) will be the digits that are before the power of ten.

Now, in the case of the number 299,792,458 if we want to write it with three significant digits, we have to write it in scientific notation as:

$2.99(10)^{-8}$
