Though Mendel did not want to be a monk, being a monk enabled his studies into inheritance.
How do you think the life of a monk helped his research?

If gases like carbon dioxide and methane make up less than 1% of the total atmosphere, why is it important for scientists to monitor changes in percentages of these gases?

Consider the growth of a 20-nm-diameter silicon nanowire onto a silicon wafer. the temperature of the wafer surface is maintained at 2400 k. assume the thermal conductivity of the silicon nanowire is 20 wm-1k-1 and all its surfaces including the tip are subjected to convection heat transfer with the coefficient h = 1×105 wm-2k-1 and t∞ = 8000 k. when the nanowire grows to l = 300 nm, what is the temperature of the nanowire tip (t (x =

An alpha particle with kinetic energy 12.5 mev makes a collision with lead nucleus, but it is not "aimed" at the center of the lead nucleus, and has an initial nonzero angular momentum (with respect to the stationary lead nucleus) of magnitude l = p0 b, where p0 is the magnitude of the initial momentum of the alpha particle and b=1.40×10−12 m. (assume that the lead nucleus remains stationary and that it may be treated as a point charge. the atomic number of lead is 82. the alpha particle is a helium nucleus, with atomic number 2.) what is the distance of closest approach?
