Answer:

Structural adaptation

Explanation:

When any physical body part of an organism helps it in surviving, then this mechanism of survival is called a structural adaptation. For example short tail of penguins helps them in balancing on their heels and tails due to which they are able to reduce heat released from their feet. Thus, any physical parts of an organism that helps them in coping with the surrounding physical environment /predators are refereed to as a mode of structural adaptation.

A climber using bottled oxygen accidentally drops the oxygen bottle from an altitude of 4500 m. If the bottle fell straight down

Trava [24]

Answer:

v= 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

altitude ,h= 4500 m

The mass ,m = 3 kg

Lets take acceleration due to gravity , g= 10 m/s²

The speed before impact at sea level = v

Initial speed ,u = 0 m/s

We know that

v²=u²+2 g h

v=final speed

u=initial speed

h=height

Now by putting the values in the above equation

v² = 0²+ 2 x 10 x 4500

v²=90000

v= 300 m/s

Therefore the speed at sea level will be 300 m/s.

Coquina is a sedimentary rock you looked at in the lab that consists of tiny chunks of sea shells all stuck together by other mi

HACTEHA [7]

Coquina rock is deposited on the water bodies of the Earth's surface and oceans.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Coquina is nothing but a type of sedimentary rock generally limestone that is formed by the chunks of shells, trilobites, brachiopods, or other invertebrates.

Coquina is deposited on the oceans and water bodies of the Earth's surface. Coquina looks like a soft white rock; therefore it can be used in construction of buildings.

9. In the sun devil football game, a receiver, who is standing still, has caught a pass from the quarterback. Before he can move

otez555 [7]

Answer:

The mass of the receiver is 68.862 kg

Explanation:

Given;

let mass of the receiver be "m₁"

initial velocity of the receiver, u₁ = 0

mass of the tackler, m₂ = 156 kg

initial velocity of the tackler, u₂ = 6.89 m/s

their final velocity, v = 4.78 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

(m₁ x 0) + (156 x 6.89) = 4.78(m₁ + 156)

0 + 1074.84 = 4.78 (m₁ + 156)

1074.84 = 4.78 (m₁ + 156)

m₁ + 156 = 1074.84 / 4.78

m₁ + 156 = 224.862

m₁ = 224.862 - 156

m₁ = 68.862 kg

Therefore, the mass of the receiver is 68.862 kg

Why must the operating temperature of a heat engine be higher than that of the cold sink?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

It is important to note, that the 2nd Law of thermodynamics plays no fundamental role in answering this question; we need a heat sink because the entropy is a state function, and at the end of the reversible process (which is visualized through the Carnot cycle diagram relevant for this problem), the entropy value of the system must return to the value it had originally.
