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.

The diagram below represents a flashlight that has been turned on. Which form of energy is being converted to electrical energy
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy

Explanation:

In nature, there are several types of energy.

In this example (a flashlight being turned on), we have a conversion of energy from chemical energy to electrical energy. In fact:

- Chemical energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules of the substances used inside the battery. When the chemical reaction inside the battery occurs, this energy is liberated, and it is used to "push" the electrons along the circuit connected to the battery

- Electric energy is the energy associated to the motion of the electrons along the circuit of the flashlight; it is the energy associated to an electric current.

Moreover, in the flashlight the electric energy is then converted into two more types of energy: light energy (since the bulb in the flashlight produces light) and heat energy (because the flashlight also produces heat, so thermal energy).

A football is thrown horizontally with an initial velocity of (16.6 m/s)x^. ignoring air resistance, the average acceleration of
Andrei [34K]

Solution:

According to the equations for 1-D kinematics. The only change to them is that instead one equation that describes general motion.

So we will have to use the equations twice: once for motion in the x direction and another time for the y direction.  

v_f=v_o + at ……..(a)

 [where v_f and v_o are final velocity and initial velocity, respectively]

Now ,

Initially, there was y velocity, however gravity began to act on the football, causing it to accelerate.  

Applying this value in equation (a)  

v_yf = at = -9.81 m/s^s * 1.75 = -17.165 m/s in the y direction  

For calculating the magnitude of the equation we have to square root the given value

         (16.6i - 17.165y)  

\\ \left | V  \right |=sqrt{16.6^{2}+17.165^{2}}\\ = \sqrt{275.56+294.637225}\\= \sqrt{570.197225}\\= 23.87[/tex]

A ray of light traveling in air strikes the surface of a liquid. if the angle of incidence is 29.7◦ and the angle of refraction
lana66690 [7]
When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) (2)
where n_r is the refractive index of the second medium and n_i is the refractive index of the first medium.

We can find the ratio n_r / n_i by using Snell's law:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r (1)
where
\theta_i is the angle of incidence
\theta_r is the angle of refraction

By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find
\frac{n_r}{n_i} =  \frac{\sin \theta_i}{\sin \theta_r} = \frac{\sin 16.3^{\circ}}{\sin 29.7^{\circ}} =0.566

and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) = \arcsin (0.566) = 34.5^{\circ}

7. Un bloque de 700 N se encuentra sobre una viga uniforme de 200 N y 6 m de longitud. El bloque está a una distancia de 1 m del
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

 x =  0.176 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension

      sin 60 = T_{y} / T

      T_{y} = T sin 60

       cos 60 = Tₓ / T

      Tₓ = T cos 60

we apply the equation

       ∑ τ = 0

       -W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0

 

the length of the bar is L = 6m

           -Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0

             x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg

let's calculate

let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N

             x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)

             x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860

             x = - 0.176 m

Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.

Calculate the percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean given that the density of ice is 916.3kg/m3 an
pogonyaev

Answer:

The percentage of an iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the ocean = 89.67%

Explanation:

Let V be the total volume of the iceberg

Let x be the volume of iceberg submerged

According to Archimedes principle,

weight of the iceberg = weight of the water displaced (that is, weight of x volume of water)

Weight of the iceberg = mg= ρ(iceberg) × V × g

Weight of water displaced = ρ(fluid) × x × g

We then have

ρ(iceberg) × V × g = ρ(fluid) × x × g

(x/V) = ρ(iceberg) ÷ ρ(fluid) = 916.3 ÷ 1021.9 = 0.8967 = 89.67%

Hope this Helps!!!!
