Why did scientist reject Lamarck's idea of evolution?

Physics
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Lamarck's theory of evolution, also called as theory of inheritance of acquired traits was rejected because he suggested that the acquired characteristics which an organisms acquires through its life experiences are transferred to its next generation, which is not possible since acquired characters does not bring any change to an individuals set of genes.

Answer: Traits acquired during a lifetime are not passed through offspring. (C.)

A hollow cubical box is 0.221 m on an edge. This box is floating in a lake with 1/4 of its height beneath the surface. The walls
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

3/4 filled with water

Explanation:

x = Fraction of box filled

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

\rho_w = Density of water

V = Volume of water

Weight of empty box is equal to the weight of the water displaced

W_b=\frac{1}{4}V\times \rho_wg

As all the forces are conserved

W_b+xV\rho_wg=V\rho_wg\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}V\times \rho_wg+xV\rho_wg=V\rho_wg\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}+x=1\\\Rightarrow x=1-\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3}

So, the box starts to sink when the box is 3/4 filled with water

The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies:_______
zepelin [54]

Answer:

c. above the point of unit elasticity.

Explanation:

The elastic portion of the downward-sloping straight-line demand curve lies above the point of unit elasticity. Supply and demand are fundamental concept in economics. The demand curve shows how much of a good people will want at a different prices. The demands curves illustrates the intuition why people purchase a good for a lower price. For the demand curve, the price is always shown on the vertical axis and the demand curve is shown on the horizontal axis. Thus , the quantity demanded increases as the price gets lower. However, the price elasticity of the demand curve varies along the demand curve. This is because there is a key distinction between the gradient and the elasticity. The gradient which is the slope of the line is always the same in the demand curve but elasticity of the demand changes in the percentage of the quantity demand. Therefore, elasticity will vary along the downward-sloping straight - line demand curve. So,  in a downward-sloping straight-line demand curve, the elastic portion is usually above the  point of unit elasticity

The Cosmoclock 21 Ferris wheel in Yokohama City, Japan, has a diameter of 100 m. Its name comes from its 60 arms, each of which
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) angular velocity ω = 2π / T

= 2 x 3.14 / 60

= .10467 rad / s

linear velocity v = ω R

=  .10467 x 50

= 5.23 m / s

centripetal force = m v² / R

= mg v² / gR

= 834 x 5.23² / 9.8 x 50

= 46.55 N

B )

apparent weight

= mg - centripetal force

= 834 - 46.55

= 787.45 N

C ) apparent weight

= mg + centripetal force

= 834 + 46.55

= 880.55 N.

D )

For apparent weight to be zero

centripetal force = mg

mg = mv² / R

v² = gR

= 9.8 x 50

= 490

v = 22.13 m /s

time period of revolution

= 2π R /v

2 x 3.14 x 50 / 22.13

= 14.19 s
