There are many theories as to why ice ages occur. The currently accepted theory is that ice ages are caused by _____.

Physics
1 answer:
Harman [31]4 years ago
7 0

Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."

Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit

A force of 8.0 N is along x direction, another force of 6.0 N is along +y direction. If both forces are acting on a point object
Darya [45]

Answer:

Resultant force, R = 10 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting along +x direction, F_x=8\ N

Force acting along +y direction, F_y=6\ N

Both the forces are acting on a point object located at the origin. Let the resultant force of the object is given by R. So,

R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2+F_xF_y\ cos\theta}

Here \theta=90^{\circ}

R=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

R=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}

R = 10 N

So, the resultant force on the object is 10 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A hotel elevator ascends 200m with maximum speed of 5m/s. Its acceleration and deceleration both have a magnitude of 1.0m/s2. Pa
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

45 s .

Explanation:

The accelerator will first accelerate , then move with uniform velocity and at last it will decelerate to rest .

displacement s = ?

acceleration a = 1 m /s²

Final speed v = 5 m/s

initial speed u = 0

v² = u² + 2as

5² = 0 + 2 x 1 x s

s = 12.5  m

B)  Let time of acceleration or deceleration be t

v = u + a t

5 = 0 + 1 t

t = 5 s

Similarly displacement during deceleration = 12.5 m

Total distance during uniform motion = 200 - ( 12.5 + 12.5 ) =  175 m .

velocity of uniform motion = 5 m /s

time during which there was uniform velocity = 175 / 5 = 35 s

Total time = 5 + 35 + 5 = 45 s .

Why are there variations of traits within a population?
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The variation and distribution of traits in a population depend on genetic and environmental factors. Genetic variation can result from mutations caused by environmental factors or errors in DNA replication, or from chromosomes swapping sections during meiosis.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!
