Answer: Traits, genetic information

Explanation: we have the sentence:

"Although heredity lays down the __________ of who we are, the environment helps build who we will become."

Heredity is the passing of traits (genetics) from the parents to their offsprings.

So the first part of the sentence can be completed as:

"Although heredity lays down the traits of who we are,..."

This also can be completed with something like "genetic information" if you want to be more "scientific" abut it

and we get in this case:

"Although heredity lays down the genetic information of who we are,..."

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

0.767

Explanation:

The work done on the truck by the frictional drag force is given by

$W=-Fd$

where

F is the magnitude of the frictional force

d = 38.0 m is the maximum displacement allowed for the truck

The negative sign is due to the fact that the force of friction is opposite to the motion of the truck

The force of friction can also be written as:

$F=\mu mg$

where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the lane

m is the mass of the truck

g is the acceleration of gravity

So we can rewrite the work done as

$W=-\mu mg d$ (1)

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by friction is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the truck:

$W=K_f - K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$ (2)

where

v = 0 is the final velocity of the truck

u = 23.9 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

By combining (1) and (2) we get

$-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\mu mg d$

And solving for $\mu$ , we find the minimum coefficient of kinetic friction able to stop the truck in a distance d:

$\mu = \frac{u^2}{2gd}=\frac{23.9^2}{2(9.8)(38.0)}=0.767$

A spherical drop of water carrying a charge of 30 pC has a potential of 500 V at its surface (with V 0 at infinity). (a) What is

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

A. 5.4 * 10^(-4) m

B. 500V

Explanation:

A. Electric potential, V is given as:

V = kq/r

This means that radius, r is

r = kq/V

r = (9 * 10^9 * 30 * 10^(-12))/500

r = (270 * 10^(-3))/500

r = 5.4 * 10^(-4) m

B. Now the radius is doubled and the charge is doubled,

V = (9 * 10^9 * 2 * 30 * 10^(-12))/(2 * 5.4 * 10^(-4) * 2)

V = 500V

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot

kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

if a torque of 55.0 N/m is required and the largest force that can be exerted by you is 135 N what is th e length of the lever a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

$r=0.41m$

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the cross product between the position vector ( the lever arm vector connecting the origin to the point of force application) and the force vector.

$\tau=r\times F$

Due to the definition of cross product, the magnitude of the torque is given by:

$\tau=rFsin\theta$

Where $\theta$ is the angle between the force and lever arm vectors. So, the length of the lever arm (r) is minimun when $sin\theta$ is equal to one, solving for r:

$r=\frac{\tau}{F}\\r=\frac{55\frac{N}{m}}{135N}\\r=0.41m$

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the crit

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Complete Question:

A beam of white light is incident on the surface of a diamond at an angle $\theta_{a}$ , since the index of refraction depends on the light's wavelength, the different colors that comprise white light will spread out as they pass through the diamond. For example, the indices of refraction in diamond are $n_{red} = 2.410$ for red light and $n_{blue} = 2.450$ for blue light. Thus, blue light and red light are refracted at different angles inside the diamond. The surrounding air has $n_{air} = 1.000$ .

Now consider θc, the angle at which the blue refracted ray hits the bottom surface of the diamond. If θc is larger than the critical angle θcrit, the light will not be refracted out into the air, but instead it will be totally internally reflected back into the diamond. Find θcrit. Express your answer in degrees to four significant figures.

Answer:

$\theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}$

Explanation:

Only the blue refracted ray is related to the critical angle in this question

$n_{air} = 1.000$

$n_{blue} = 2.450$

The relationship between the critical angle( $\theta_{crit}$ ), $n_{air}$ and $n_{blue}$ can be given as $sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{n_{air} }{n_{blue} }$

$sin \theta_{crit} = \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} \frac{1 }{2.450 }\\\theta_{crit} = sin^{-1} 0.4082^{0}\\ \theta_{crit} = 24.09^{0}$
