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.

Students have a small steel ball and a large steel ball, and they have a short ramp and a tall ramp.
lozanna [386]
I would say it’s “B” for the reason that the student did not experiment with a short ramp and large ball as well as a large ramp and a short ball. They have to do those experiments as well before drawing their conclusion.

What type of eclipse is shown? How do you know?
Sonja [21]
That is a lunar eclipse. At night, when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, the moon would appear to be red. Just for future reference, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. Speaking of which, check out the solar eclipse this August!

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 and a = g

h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

A catcher in a baseball game stops a pitched ball that was originally moving at 44 m/s over a distance of 12.5 cm. the mass of t
eduard

Answer:

Force = -1161.6 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, u = 44m/s

Distance ,s = 12.5cm to m = 12.5/100 = 0.125m

Mass = 0.15kg

To find the acceleration;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V ² = U² + 2as

0² = 44² + 2*a*0.125

0 = 1936 + 0.25a

0.25a = -1936

a = -1936/0.25

Acceleration, a = -7744m/s2

Force = mass * acceleration

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Force = 0.15 * (-7744)

Force = -1161.6 Newton

The value of its force is negative because the glove decreases the velocity of the ball.
