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.
Because of the location of Mg on the periodic table.
The specific heat of mercury is 149.4 J/(kgK)
Explanation:
When a substance is supplied with an amount of energy Q, its temperature increases according to the equation:

where
is the increase in temperature
m is the mass of the sample
is its specific heat capacity
For the sample of mercury in this problem we have
Q = 275 J
m = 0.450 kg

Therefore, by re-arranging the equation we find the mercury's specific heat:

All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity.
So we solve for v:
m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,
g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,
2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v
√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:
v=9.9 m/s.
So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.
