Q:

What is needed for steering control on a PWC?

Answer

PWC refers to Personal Water Crafts.


To control steering on a PWC, the most needed requirement is to have power in which will allows the one using it to control the engine for it to stop or for it to move. Without power, the person using it could be out of balance or fail to start the engine. This is the basic requirement because even though it is shut off or the engine is off, the PWC is still on and it could still move without proper knowledge of the engine.

Q:

A standing wave occurs when

A) a wave reflects upon itself B) the amplitude of a wave exceeds its wavelength
C) two waves overlap D) the speed of the wave is zero or near zero
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a wave reflects upon itself

Explanation:

A standing wave also known as a stationary wave, is a wave in which its peaks or any other point on the wave do not move spatially.

This phenomenon can occur because the medium is moving in the opposite direction to the wave, or it can arise in a stationary medium as a result of interference between two waves traveling in opposite directions. The most common cause of standing waves is the phenomenon of resonance, in which standing waves occur inside a resonator due to interference between waves reflected back and forth at the resonator's resonant frequency.

 

Hence, standing wave occurs when a wave reflects upon itself.

Q:

What holds the sides of the DNA ladder together?

A) Polar covalent bonds B) Ionic bonds
C) Metallic bonds D) Covalent bonds
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Covalent bonds

Explanation:

Deoxyribose, which is a pentose, and a phosphate group are the two molecules together form the two sides of the DNA i.e, A sugar (deoxyribose) and a phosphate.

DNA is a double-stranded molecule twisted into a helix (think of a spiral staircase). Each spiraling strand, comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and attached bases, is connected to a complementary strand by non-covalent hydrogen bonding between paired bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). A and T are connected by two hydrogen bonds. G and C are connected by three hydrogen bonds.
