Nope, she never admitted it was lytic. She refused to admit that she was incorrect, if the answer was actually lytic (which I thought it was). I don't think she'll change her mind for next year either, she told me to write lysogenic if I ever saw another similar question later in the course. On...

It worked out much better than I thought! Originally, I tried employing that new tactic by asking her questions based on her arguments that acted as arguments of my own. Neither me nor my teacher would admit that we were incorrect, so she asked why I was even arguing the mark in the first place...

Thank you very much for the advice and references! I'll be sure to try that tactic tomorrow!

On Monday, I was given back my last biology test. Upon looking at one of the questions that I got wrong, I was unable to understand what I did wrong. I attempted to argue my case to my teacher, but she did not think about my arguments before denying them. The question is as follows: One week...

I made a mistake in that expression, but I forgot to fix it. I'll fix it later. @NascentOxygen

I used method a) and b) because I thought it was the correct way to figure out the power that the student generated. As by the explanations above, could someone explain why it's only the gravitational potential energy divided by time? Or is this the explanation why?

The first question is asking about the work required, not the actual work performed by the student. I found the mechanical energy so it also includes the additional energy (via kinetic energy) that they've inputted. If I simply divided the work found in the first question by time, I would find...

A later part of the question states: Calculate the power the student generated climbing the stairs. Is the following solution correct? EM=EK+EG EM=1/2mv2+EG EM=(1/2)(60.78)(Δd/Δt)2+2430.228 EM=(1/2)(60.78)(4.08/3.85)2+2430.228 EM=(1/2)(60.78)(1.06)2+2430.228 EM=(1/2)(60.78)(1.1236)...

Thanks for the assistance!

Homework Statement A 60.78kg student climbs 4.08m of stairs in 3.85s. Calculate the work required to climb the stairs. m= 60.78kg, Δdy=4.08m, Δt=3.85s Homework Equations W=FΔd OR EK=1/2mv2 The Attempt at a Solution My friends and I are conflicted in how to solve this problem. I believe that...
