In tectonics, vertical displacement is the shifting of land in a vertical direction, resulting in a long term change in elevation. Two types of vertical displacement are uplift, an increase in elevation, and subsidence, a decrease in elevation.

Which of the below is an example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation?

Marta_Voda [28]

b..a harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism

Explanation:

A harmless organism imitating the look of a harmful organism is one example of mimicry that enables prey species avoid predation.

Prey are smaller and less harmful organisms often hunted by larger organisms usually carnivores.

Mimicry is a form of evolutionary adaptation process in which two organisms of the same specie or different species tends to look alike.

It is a subtle defense mechanism developed by organism over an extended period of time.

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc

marta [7]

This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so:

$v_{d} = \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}$

The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

 $I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)$

The magnitude of the current density is:

$J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})$

Being:

$A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}$

Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

 $v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)$

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd

What is the average speed of a kangaroo that hops 60 m in 5 s ?

jok3333 [9.3K]

The formula for average speed is
$v_{avg}= \frac{total distance}{total time}$
So we can just substitute our data.
$v_{avg}= \frac{60}{5}=12 \frac{m}{s}$ - its the result
