a scientist divided a population of fruit flies into two containers, each with a different kind of food. then she bred the fruit

flies under these conditions for many generations. lastly, she put the fruit flies from the two containers together again and observed which flies mated. which question was the scientist most likely testing? a. do well-fed fruit flies make good pets? b. what kind of food do fruit flies prefer? c. how many species of fruit flies can mate with each other? d. will fruit flies bred under different conditions mate?

<span>d. will fruit flies bred under different conditions mate? Let's look at the possible choices and see which of them make any sense given the experiment. a. do well-fed fruit flies make good pets? Seems kinda silly, but if this were the question being asked, I suspect the experiment would have some fruit flies that were well fed as well as some fruit flies that were starved and would then compare how those 2 populations of fruit flies interacted with people. But that wasn't done, so it's unlikely this is the question being asked. b. what kind of food do fruit flies prefer? Each population of fruit flies weren't given a choice as to available foods. So their preferences didn't come into play about what they were allowed to eat. So this question is also unlikely. c. how many species of fruit flies can mate with each other? The scientist started with a single population and divided it into two sub groups. There doesn't seem to be a large number of species of different fruit flies here, so this is also an unlikely question. d. will fruit flies bred under different conditions mate? The scientist started with a single population of fruit flies and divided them into two groups. Each group was allowed to breed for many generations with a different food for each group (e.g. Allowed to breed under different conditions). After they were both well established, the groups were merged together and observed which ones mated. It looks like this question is being answered. So this is the correct solution.</span>

Decreases, stays the same, increases. The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume). The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules. The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

A car company wants to ensure its newest model can stop in less than 450 ft when traveling at 60 mph. If we assume constant dece
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

15.3 s and 332 m

Explanation:

With the launch of projectiles expressions we can solve this problem, with the acceleration of the moon

    gm = 1/6 ge

    gm = 1/6  9.8 m/s² = 1.63 m/s²

We calculate the range

    R = Vo² sin 2θ  / g

    R = 25² sin (2 30) / 1.63

    R= 332 m

We will calculate the time of flight,

   Y = Voy t – ½ g t2  

   Voy = Vo sin θ

When the ball reaches the end point has the same initial  height Y=0

0 = Vo sin  t – ½  g t2

0 = 25 sin (30)  t – ½ 1.63 t2

0= 12.5 t –  0.815 t2

We solve the equation

0= t ( 12.5 -0.815 t)

 t=0 s

t= 15.3 s

The value of zero corresponds to the departure point and the flight time is 15.3 s

Let's calculate the reach on earth

R2 = 25² sin (2 30) / 9.8

R2 = 55.2 m

R/R2 = 332/55.2

R/R2 = 6

Therefore the ball travels a distance six times greater on the moon than on Earth
