Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:
i × i = j × j = k × k = 0
i × j = k
j × k = i
k × i = j
and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)
Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have
a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)
a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)
… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)
… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)
a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)
a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i
a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k
Answer: A gene pool is the collection of different genes within an interbreeding population. The concept of a gene pool usually refers to the sum of all the alleles at all of the loci within the genes of a population of a single species. It includes both genes that are expressed, and those that are not.
A population that has a large and diverse gene pool tends have increased biological fitness and is usually able to adapt to and survive throughout pressures caused by rapid changes in environmental conditions or disease. Although individuals may die in such situations, a diverse population often contains enough genetic variation so that there will be an availability of suitable genes that are necessary for survival. This is the basic concept behind the theory of natural selection.
Explanation: you are welcome
If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.
Explanation:
The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²
q1= charge on first particle
q2= charge on second particle
r= distance between the two charges
Now if the first charge is doubled,
we get 
F'= 2 F
Thus the force gets doubled.
The correct answer should be pollutant
UV radiation pollutes the environment and that can lead to mutation in humans. It's a mutagen to humans, but a pollutant to the environment.
Answer:
4.71m/s
Explanation:
Average speed = Total distance travelled ÷ Total time taken.
80/17=4.71
4.71m/s
