A motorcycle went from 0 m/s to 35 m/s in 5.1 s. What is the motorcycle’s acceleration?

Solve the following problems. Show your work with your answers. EQUATIONS: v = d/t        a = ∆v/t           Δv = vf – vi             p = m*v         F = m*a            g = 9.8 m/s2        Weight=m*g CALCULATE THE FOLLOWING – SHOW YOUR WORK!! A motorcycle went from 0 m/s to 35 m/s in 5.1 s. What is the motorcycle’s acceleration? A race car was clock going […]

Discuss how bottom-up effects may have been expressed in the experimental lake food web during the experiment by describing the potential changes at each trophic level.

Questions Question 1: The distribution of various biomes across the globe is determined by global climate patterns, which influence the availability of abiotic resources. A) Describe how global climate patterns, such as solar radiation, air circulation, adiabatic lapse rate, and the seasonal movement of the intertropical convergence zone, influence the climate and consequent availability of abiotic resources […]

Why is it inaccurate to think of race as biology? What is race?   PROMPT 2 […]

Human Genetics

Name: Instructor: Section: Human Genetics Lab Basic Mendelian genetics is inheritance of biological features that are controlled by a single locus (the specific location of a gene); therefore, in basic Mendelian genetics, the phenotype (physical trait) of an individual is controlled by a single genotype (gene that it carries). Most traits are not simple Mendelian […]
