The images show two different types of Galapagos tortoises that scientists believe descended from the same species. The first ty

pe (left) lives on islands that have high vegetation and few grasses. The second type (right) lives on an island that has large amounts of grasses and low-lying shrubs. What explains the differences in the second turtle's characteristics?
A. The environment triggered a gene mutation in neck length to help the second turtle survive.
B.Mutations are random, so the high number of individuals with longer necks is simply by chance.
C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.
D.Turtles with short necks completely lacked adaptations for survival, so they died off.

Answer:

C. turtles with genes for long necks had a better chance of surviving to reach reproductive age.

Explanation:

The turtles that had long necks were more fit to the environmnet in which they were lovated and were able to grow larger and have more reproductive time because of their ability to feed on grass and small shrubs, this helped them always haev food available, and made them the dominant gene eventually.

A jet transport has a weight of 2.25 x 106 N and is at rest on the runway. The two rear wheels are 16.0 m behind the front wheel
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of jet

W = 2.25 × 10^6 N

It is at rest on the run way.

Two rear wheels are 16m behind the front wheel

Center of gravity of plane 10.6m behind the front wheel

A. Normal force entered on the ground by front wheel.

Taking moment about the the about the real wheel.

Check attachment for better understanding

So,

Clock wise moment = anti-clockwise moment

W × 5.4 = N × 16

2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 = 16•N

N = 2.25 × 10^6 × 5.4 / 16

N = 7.594 × 10^5 N

B. Normal force on each of the rear two wheels.

Using the second principle of equilibrium body.

Let the rear wheel normal be Nr and note, the are two real wheels, then, there will be two normal forces

ΣFy = 0

Nr + Nr + N — W = 0

2•Nr = W—N

2•Nr = 2.25 × 10^6 — 7.594 × 10^5

2•Nr = 1.491 × 10^6

Nr = 1.491 × 10^6 / 2

Nr = 7.453 × 10^5 N

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta  is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta  is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N
