The speed of the stream's current is 3.6 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • distance between the two flags, d = 100 m
  • time when it passed the first flag, t₁ = 2:15
  • time when it passed the second flag, t₂ = 2:43

<h3>What is speed?</h3>
  • The speed of an object describes the rate of change of an object's distance.

The change in the time of motion of the barrel is calculated as follows;

Δt = t₂ - t₁

Δt = 2:43 - 2:15

Δt = 2 min 43 s - 2 min 15 s

Δt = 43 s - 15 s

Δt = 28 s

The speed of the stream's current is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{100 \ m}{28 \ s}\\\\v = 3.57 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 3.6 \ m/s

Thus, the speed of the stream's current is 3.6 m/s.

Explain how the Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance helped to advance our understanding of genetics.
saul85 [17]

Explanation:

The  Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance, basically answer the question: where are genes found in a cell?

It was described by Sutton and Boveri between 1902-1903 and states that individual genes are found at specific locations on particular chromosomes. It also postulates that the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis can explain why genes are inherited according to Mendel’s laws.

It states:

- Chromosomes, like Mendel's genes, come in matched (homologous) pairs in an organism:  one member comes from the mother and one from the father.

- The members of a homologous pair separate in meiosis, so each sperm or egg receives just one member. This is referred as the law of segregation.

-The members of different chromosome pairs are sorted into gametes independently of one another in meiosis.

Of the 5 systems of the earth, which 2 would be most affected by a hurricane?
gulaghasi [49]
The earth systems are divided into five basic groups which are: atmosphere, geopshere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and the p.edoshpere.
Of these five the two that would be most affected by the hurricane are the atmosphere and the hydrosphere.
This is because, for an hurricane to occur, warm water and evaporation must be present, which lead to the generation of high frequency storms which is characteristic of every hurricane.
