Sir Marvin decided to improve the destructive power of his cannon by increasing the size of his cannonballs. Sir Seymour kept hi

s cannonballs the same size, but improved his powder to provide more velocity. a) Which knight will have the more destructive cannon? Why?

We really can't tell from the given information. 
We don't know HOW MUCH Marv enlarged his cannonballs,
or HOW MUCH faster Seymour's balls became.

If we assume that they both, let's say, DOUBLED something,
then Seymour accomplished more, and the destructive capability
of his balls has increased more. 

I say that because the destructive capability of a cannonball is
pretty much just its kinetic energy when it arrives and hits the target.
Now, we all know the equation for kinetic energy.

                K.E.  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed-SQUARED) .

We can see right away that if Marv started shooting balls with
double the mass but at the same speed, then they have double
the kinetic energy of the old ones.

But if Seymour started shooting the same balls with double the SPEED,
then they have (2-SQUARED) as much kinetic energy as they used to.

That's 4 times as much destructive capability as before.  

So we can say that when it comes to cannons and their balls and
smashing things to bits and terrorizing your opponents, if making
a bigger mess is better, then more mass is better, but more speed
is better-squared.

The resistance of a lamp that draws 0.5A of current when it is operated by a 12V battery will be Ω
lisabon 2012 [21]
According to Ohm's Law, the resistance, current and voltage are related as:

V = IR
⇒
R = V/I

V is given to be 12 Volts.
I is given to be 0.5 Ampere 

So, resistance will be:

R = 12/0.5 = 24 ohms

A constant unbalanced force is applied to an object for a period of time. Which graph best represents the acceleration of the ob
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Here is an image attached with similar questions.

The correct answer is D where acceleration is function of time.

Explanation:

The force acting on the object is constant.

There is no change in the application of forces.

And we know that Force is the product of acceleration and masses.

Newtons second law: F=m\times a

Regarding mass we know that it can neither be created nor destroyed.

So in F=m \times a we have two constant terms, constant divided by constant will give the same result as a=\frac{Force}{mass}

There is no change in acceleration (a) with respect to time (t).

So the most appropriate graph where time (t) is changing on x-axis but acceleration doesn't changes is D.

The graph will be similar to y=any\ constant and will be horizontal to the x-axis.

Option D depicts the same.

Jet001 [13]

Human hox genes are in four clusters: HOXA, HOXB, HOXC, and HOXD for a total of 39 genes. besides conserving the clustering of genes, evolution has also conserved the order of genes within them.

What is a gene?

A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes helps to make molecules called proteins. However, many genes do not synthesis for proteins. Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent. Most genes are the same in all people, but a small number of genes (less than 1 percent of the total) are slightly different among the people. Alleles are forms of the same gene with small differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences contribute to each person’s unique physical features.
