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.

A figure skater skates across a rink of length 50 m in 12.1 seconds. a. What is the average speed of the skater? (2 points) b. I

melamori03 [73]

(a) The skater covers a distance of S=50 m in a time of t=12.1 s, so its average speed is the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:
$v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{50 m}{12.1 s}=4.13 m/s$

(b) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 4 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f = 5.3 m/s$
and the time taken to accelerate to this velocity is t=2 s, so the acceleration of the skater is given by
$a= \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}= \frac{5.3 m/s-4.0 m/s}{2.0 s}=0.65 m/s^2$

(c) The initial speed of the skater is
$v_i = 13.0 m/s$
while the final speed is
$v_f=0$
since she comes to a stop. The distance covered is S=8 m, so we can use the following relationship to find the acceleration of the skater:
$2aS=v_f^2 -v_i^2$
from which we find
$a= \frac{-v_i^2}{2S}= \frac{-(13.0m/s)^2}{2 \cdot 8.0 m}=-10.6 m/s^2$
where the negative sign means it is a deceleration.

What appliances use electromagnets

Svetlanka [38]

Electromagnets are used in home appliances quite regularly and are used even in simple home appliances. Common home appliances that use electromagnets are toasters, printers, and microwave ovens. Electromagnets are a certain type of magnet that does not function unless an electrical current flows through it. These appliances create the magnetic field by flowing electricity through certain parts of the appliance.

As a system expands, it absorbs 52.5 J of energy in the form of heat from the surroundings. The piston is working against a pres

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Vi = 0.055 m³ = 55 L

Explanation:

From first Law of Thermodynamics, we know that:

ΔQ = ΔU + W

where,

ΔQ = Heat absorbed by the system = 52.5 J

ΔU = Change in Internal Energy = -102.5 J (negative sign shows decrease in internal energy of the system)

W = Work Done in Expansion by the system = ?

Therefore,

52.5 J = - 102.5 J + W

W = 52.5 J + 102.5 J

W = 155 J

Now, the work done in a constant pressure condition is given by:

W = PΔV

W = P(Vf - Vi)

where,

P = Constant Pressure = (0.5 atm)(101325 Pa/1 atm) = 50662.5 Pa

Vf = Final Volume of System = (58 L)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 0.058 m³

Vi = Initial Volume of System = ?

Therefore,

155 J = (50662.5 Pa)(0.058 m³ - Vi)

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 155 J/50662.5 Pa

Vi = 0.058 m³ - 0.003 m³
