Answer:

Suppose you take two non-zero displacements represented by vectors A & B. The magnitude of A is 6 and the magnitude of B is 1. What is the magnitude of the smallest displacement you can end up from the starting point?

The smallest displacement would be when the vectors are in the opposite direction, therefore, the magnitude of the minimum displacement is 5.

The process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position is called.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Mutation is the process by which the gene in the nucleotide suddenly changes its position

Any change in the structure of a gen or in the usual DNA sequence of a cell is called mutation. It can be caused by mistakes during cell division when the DNA is copied or by the exposure to DNA damaging agents in the environment like UV light or cigarette smoke, and may be transmitted to subsequent generations.

A mutation is a permanent alteration of the nucleotide sequence of an organism, virus or other genetic elements.

There are three types of mutations:

Base substitutions
Deletions
Insertions

<h3>What is DNA?</h3>

The Deoxyribonucleic acid, also called DNA, is the hereditary material that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of humans and almost all other organisms. DNA is made of nucleotides.

A petrol tanker ha 2800kg when empty and hold 30m3 0f petrol when full. The denity of petrol i 740kg/m3. Calculate the ma of the

White raven [17]

The mass of the tanker with petrol is 250000 N.

We are given that,

Mass of tanker= m =2800 kg

Volume of petrol= v =30 m³

Density of petrol= d =740 kg/m³

Thus , mass , density and volume relation can be given as,

density= mass/ Volume

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 740× 30

Mass = 22200 kg

The mass of the petrol is 22200 kg.

Total mass of tanker with petrol = Mass of petrol + Mass of tanker

Total mass of tanker with petrol= 22200+ 2800 kg

Total mass of tanker with petrol= 25000 kg

Total weight of the tanker with petrol = Mass of tanker full of petrol× g

Where, weight = m × g ,(g =10m/s²)

Total weight of the tanker with petrol= 25000×10 = 250000 N

Therefore, the mass of petrol, total mass of tanker with petrol and weight of tanker with petrol would be 22200 kg, 25000 kg and 250000 N.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more
