Answer:

Natural selection is a simple mechanism that causes populations of living things to change over time.  Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success.

PLS SHOW WORK !!!!!!! ASAP
Lynna [10]

Answer:

1- For the track B. The potential energy is the same for the two cars, but because of the slope of the track, the car B earn kinetic energy faster. The gravitation acceleration of the cars will be g•sinθ, and the angle of the track B will have a bigger value for sinθ

2- The conservation of energy applies because the roller coaster is a closed track. When a car climb the track, it earn GPE, which is given by mgh, when it get down in the track, it transform GPE in KE, which is given in 1/2mv².

3-

Position of car (m) GPE KE GPE + KE

top (30m) 60000 0 60000

bottom (0m) 0 60000 60000

halfway down (15m) 30000 30000 60000

three-quarters way down 15000 45000 60000

A car is traveling at 100 km/h when the driver sees an accident 80 m ahead and slams on the brakes. what minimum constant decele
Effectus [21]
Assuming the driver starts slamming the brakes immediately, the car moves by uniformly decelerated motion, so we can use the following relationship
2aS = v_f^2 - v_i^2 (1)
where 
a is the deleceration
S is the distance covered after a time t
v_f is the velocity at time t
v_i=100 km/h = 27.8 m/s is the initial speed of the car

The accident is 80 m ahead of the car, so the minimum deceleration required to avoid the accident is the value of a such that S=80 m and v_f=0 (the car should stop exactly at S=80 m to avoid the accident). Using these data, we can solve  the equation (1) to find a:
a=- \frac{v_i^2}{2 S}= -\frac{(27.8 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 80 m} =-4.83 m/s^2
And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of  snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) =  (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr

A tall cylinder contains 20 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t
Zanzabum

Answer:

Pressure, P = 3724 Pa

Explanation:

Given that,

Depth of water, h_w=20\ cm =0.2\ m

Depth of oil, h_o=40-20=20\ cm=0.2\ m

The density of water, d_w=1000\ kg/m^3

The densinty of oil, d_o=900\ kg/m^3

We need to find the gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder. So, total pressure is equal to :

P=d_wgh_w+d_ogh_o\\\\P=(d_wh_w+d_oh_o)g\\\\P=(1000\times 0.2+900\times 0.2)\times 9.8\\\\P=3724\ Pa

So, the gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder is 3724 Pa.
