First-class levers ________.

Biology
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: d. in the body can operate at a mechanical advantage or mechanical disadvantage, depending on specific location.

Explanation:

A first-class lever is defined as the force in which fulcrum is present in the center and the load and effort on each side of the fulcrum. First class lever moves over a large distance to move the load to a smaller distance.

First-class lever can be operated at mechanical advantage or disadvantage that it can aid in work by changing the direction of the force and by increasing the efficiency. As the the fulcrum is between the load and the effort so the length of the effort arm divided by the length of the effort arm.

If the fulcrum is closer to the effort, it will operated at mechanical disadvantage and vice versa.

Example of first class levers includes scissors, a claw hammer, a see-saw and a weighing balance.

Hence, the correct option is D.

What was hurricane Floyd's sea surface temperature?
Readme [11.4K]
Hurricane Floyd was a very powerful Cape Verde hurricane which struck the east coast of the United States. It was the sixth named storm, fourth hurricane, and third major hurricane in the 1999 Atlantic hurricane season. Floyd triggered the fourth largest evacuation in US history (behind Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Gustav, and Hurricane Rita) when 2.6 million coastal residents of five states were ordered from their homes as it approached. The hurricane formed off the coast of Africa and lasted from September 7 to September 19, peaking in strength as a very strong Category 4 hurricane—just 2 mph short of the highest possible rating on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale. It was among the largest Atlantic hurricanes of its strength ever recorded.

Floyd was once forecast to strike Florida, but turned away. Instead, Floyd struck The Bahamas at peak strength, causing heavy damage. It then paralleled the East Coast of the United States, causing massive evacuations and costly preparations from Florida through the Mid-Atlantic states. The storm weakened significantly, however, before striking the Cape Fear region, North Carolina as a very strong Category 2 hurricane, and caused further damage as it traveled up the Mid-Atlantic region and into New England.

The hurricane produced torrential rainfall in Eastern North Carolina, adding more rain to an area already hit by Hurricane Dennis just weeks earlier. The rains caused widespread flooding over a period of several weeks; nearly every river basin in the eastern part of the state exceeded 500-year flood levels. In total, Floyd was responsible for 57 fatalities and $6.5 billion (1999 USD) in damage. Due to the destruction, the World Meteorological Organization retiredthe name Floyd.

Oil is most likely to form becauseChoose one:
Luden [163]

B. tiny algae and plankton decomposed under conditions of heat, pressure, and low oxygen.

Explanation:

Oil is most likely to form where tiny algae and plankton decomposed under conditions of heat, pressure and low oxygen.

  Coal will form when plant materials like twigs, leaves and tree trunks decomposed under conditions of heat, pressure and low oxygen.

  • To form oil, algae and plankton will be gathered with sediments in a basin.
  • Rapid burial causes the algae and plankton to be cut off from aerobic environment that would lead to the decay of these organisms.
  • They are buried alive and as the basin subsides, temperature and pressure acts to produce kerogen.
  • Further cracking produces oil and gas.
