    Do the two balls meet at the halfway point?

    Hmm, but we don't know the height of the building? :S

    Do the two balls meet at the halfway point?

    to think about it, I'm not sure how to prove that the balls would arrive at above the halfway point. any suggestions? possibly using equations?

    Do the two balls meet at the halfway point?

    Thanks! @above: We are provided with only one value such that a = 9.8m/s^2. Thus, how can we calculate it's location?

    Do the two balls meet at the halfway point?

    Thanks! So: Throwing up: Starts fast and slows down Dropping: Starts slow and speeds up In this sense, greater velocity equals greater distance traveled. Therefore the balls should cross each other above the halfway point. Is that true?

    Do the two balls meet at the halfway point?

    A ball is dropped from rest from the top of a building and strikes the ground with a speed Vf. From ground level, a second ball is thrown straight upward at the same instant that the first ball is dropped. The initial speed of the second ball is Vo=Vf, the same speed with which the first ball...

    Do Harp Seal populations effect Atlantic cod?

    @above, Jerk! Haha just kidding! There we go! You could estimate population size for the cod and compare it to the population size of seals and to the fishing effort. Track these three variables over several years, and get some historical data as well. Theoretically, the fishing effort...

    Do Harp Seal populations effect Atlantic cod?

    [SOLVED] Do Harp Seal populations effect Atlantic cod? The Atlantic cod population was an extremely abundant stock of primary economic importance to fishing communities throughout the Atlantic provinces. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has stated that the collapse in Atlantic cod stocks...

    Why Didn't Early Pathogens Resist Antibiotics?

    Also, what are some strategies that could help reduce the incidence of antibiotic resistance in your home, your school, and in society at large? Thanks

    Tuberculosis Treatment: The Effectiveness of Dual Antibiotic Therapy

    Tuberculosis patients are now routinely given two different antibiotics at the same time. Why might this approach be more effective that administering a different antibiotic only after bacteria develop resistance to the first? Is it because infections rapidly adapt through mutations?

    Why Didn't Early Pathogens Resist Antibiotics?

    Most antibiotics are derived from microorganisms that do not occur naturally in the human body. Most infectious bacteria showed no resistance to these antibiotics when they were first used in the 1940s, because pathogens (disease-causing organisms) did not already have antibiotic resistance to...

    Calculating Fragment Numbers: Biotechnology and Plasmids Explained

    maybe: 4 nitrogenous pairs each base pair so 4^7 = 16384 (base pairs) then 150000 divide by 16384 which gives us 9.15 so approximately 9 fragments.

    Calculating Fragment Numbers: Biotechnology and Plasmids Explained

    Hmm, but we don't know how many restriction enzymes are on that linear piece of DNA.

    Calculating Fragment Numbers: Biotechnology and Plasmids Explained

    A piece of linear DNA is 150 000 base pairs in length and it is digested with a restriction enzyme that recognizes a seven-base-pair recognition site. How many fragments do you predict would be produced? Show your calculations. I would say, 150000bp / 7 = 21428.57 fragments (Weird...) What...
