Answer:

Specific gravity for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest

Explanation:

Answer:

Because of it being able to become a gas, a liquid, and solid, and because its used in lots of chemical experiments. (also because its easier to describe it than any other liquid)

Explanation:

1. Water is used in most Chemicals, therefore its being used as a reference material.

2. W

How many atoms of carbon would two molecules of glucose (C6H12O6) have?
Sauron [17]
Well according to the molecular formula of glucose, one molecule would have 6 carbon atoms, and thus 2 molecules of glucose would have 12 carbon atoms.

The correct response would be B. 12.

You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building.
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

22.505 seconds

Explanation:

V =19.8m/s

V = a*to

t1 = 19.8/3.3

= 6seconds

Distance travelled during acceleration

= 1/2 x 3.3 x 6²

= 59.4m

X_total = x1 + x2

X2 = 373-59.4

X2 = 313.6m

t2 = x2/v

= 313.6/19.8

= 16.505

Total = 16.505 + 6

= 22.505 seconds

the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor is 22.505 seconds.

An accepted value for the acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s2. In an experiment with pendulums, you calculate that the val
Fed [463]

g Generally the accepted value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.801 m/s^2

as per the question the acceleration due to gravity is found to be 9.42m/s^2 in an experiment performed.

the difference between the ideal and observed value is 0.381.

hence the error is -\frac{0.381}{9.801} *100

                                                            =3.88735 percent

the error is not so high,so it can be  accepted.

now we have to know why this occurs-the equation of time period of the simple pendulum is give as-T=2\pi\sqrt[2]{l/g}

                                                      g=4\pi^2\frac{l}{T^2}

As the experiment is done under air resistance,so it will affect to the time period.hence the time period will be more which in turn decreases the value of g.

if this experiment is done in a environment of zero air resistance,we will get the value of g which must be approximately equal to 9.801  m/s^2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A) Mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.


When Darwin proposed the idea of biological evolution, which revolved around the concept that favorable genes are naturally selected into a species to ensure survival, his theory was criticized as during that time there was the idea that individual traits of two parents would present themselves as a blend in the offspring.

Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance supported Darwin's idea as it dealt with the transmission of traits in generations through entities called genes, which were present in pairs for a particular trait.


Hope this helps!
