Stacy's home is sprayed with a pesticide to control spiders. She didn't see any spiders for a period of time, but eventually, sh

e began to see the spiders again. The next time the exterminator sprayed her house, they used the same pesticide, and it had no effect on the spiders. What is the best way to explain this change in survivorship of the spider population?
A.
The spiders with pesticide-resistant traits survived and reproduced.
B.
The original spider population did not pass on their genes to their offspring.
C.
The original spider population was not very diverse.
D.
The spiders learned to avoid the pesticide.

A) The spiders with pesticide-resistant traits survived & reproduced.

The spiders that survived the pesticide passed on their genes to their offspring, and when their offspring came back to Stacy's house, they had the resistance to pesticide because of their parents.

A 3 kg block is released from rest to slide down a ramp with friction. The length that the block slides is 2 meters and the angl
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

(a). The acceleration is 3.20 m/s².

(b). The amount of work done by each force is 19.2 J.

(c). The total work done on the block is 19.2 J.

(d). The final speed of the block is 6.26 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 3 kg

Distance = 2 m

Angle = 30°

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.20

(a). We need to calculate the acceleration

Using balance equation of force

N = mg\co\theta

mg\sin\theta-f_{k}=ma

a = g\sin\theta-\mu g\cos30

Put the value into the formula

a=g(\sin30-0.20\cos30)

a=9.8(\dfrac{1}{2}-0.20\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})

a=3.20\ m/s^2

The acceleration is 3.20 m/s².

(b). We need to calculate the amount of work done by each force

Using formula of work done

Normal force is

N = mg\cos30

So due to this the net force is zero then the no work done by reaction force.

By another force,

W= F\times d

W=ma\times d

Put the value into the formula

W= 3\times3.20\times2

W=19.2\ J

The amount of work done by each force is 19.2 J.

(c). We need to calculate the total work done on the block

The total work done on the block is 19.2 J.

(d). We need to calculate the final speed of the block

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gs

Put the value into the formula

v^2=0+2\times9.8\times2

v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times2}

v=6.26\ m/s

The final speed of the block is 6.26 m/s.

Hence, This is the required solution.

Calculate the recoil speed of a 1.4 kg rifle shooting 0.006 kg bullets with muzzle speed of 800 m/a.3.43 m/s
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a) 3.43 m/s

Explanation:

Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the bullet - rifle system must be conserved.

The total momentum before the bullet is shot is zero, because they are both at rest, so:

p_i = 0

Instead the total momentum of the system after the shot is:

p_f = mv+MV

where:

m = 0.006 kg is the mass of the bullet

M = 1.4 kg is the mass of the rifle

v = 800 m/s is the velocity of the bullet

V is the recoil velocity of the rifle

The total momentum is conserved, therefore we can write:

p_i = p_f

Which means:

0=mv+MV

Solving for V, we can find the recoil velocity of the rifle:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.006)(800)}{1.4}=-3.43 m/s

where the negative sign indicates that the velocity is opposite to direction of the bullet: so the recoil speed is

a) 3.43 m/s

Allen Aby sets up an Atwood Machine and wants to find the acceleration and the tension in the string. Please help him. Two block
Vitek1552 [10]

<u>Answers:</u>

In order to solve this problem we will use Newton’s second Law, which is mathematically expressed after some simplifications as:

<h2>F=ma   (1) </h2>

This can be read as: The Net Force F of an object is equal to its mass m multiplied by its acceleration a.

We will also need to <u>draw the Free Body Diagram of each block</u> in order to know the direction of the acceleration in this system and find the Tension T of the string (<u>See figure attached).  </u>

We already know<u> m_{2} is greater than m_{1}</u>, this means the weight of the block 2 P_{2} is greater than the weight of the block 1 P_{1}; therefore <u>the acceleration of the system will be in the direction of P_{2}</u>, as shown in the figure attached.

We also know by the information given in the problem that <u>the pulley does not have friction and has negligible mass</u>, and <u>the string is massless</u>.

This means that the tension will be the same along the string regardless of the difference of mass of the blocks.

Now that we have the conditions clear, let’s begin with the calculations:

1) Firstly, we have to find the weight of each block, in order to verify that block 2 is heavier than block 1.

This is done using equation (1), where the force of the weight P is calculated using the <u>acceleration of gravity</u> g=9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}  acting on the blocks:


<h2>P=mg   (2) </h2>

<u>For block 1: </u>

P_{1}=m_{1}g   (3)

P_{1}=1.5kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})    

<h2>P_{1}=14.7N   (4) </h2>

<u>For block 2: </u>

P_{2}=m_{2}g   (5)

P_{2}=2.4kg(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})    

<h2>P_{2}=23.52N      (6) </h2>

Then, we are going to <u>find the acceleration a of the whole system: </u>

F_{r}=P_{1}+P_{2}   (7)

<h2>P_{1}+P_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})a   (8) </h2>

Where the Resulting Force F_{r}  is equal to the sum of the weights P_{1} and P_{2}.  

In the figure attached, note that P_{1} is in opposite direction to the acceleration a, this means it must <u>have a negative sing</u>; while P_{2} is in the same direction of a.

Here we only have to isolate a from equation (8) and substitute the values according to the conditions of the system:

-14.7N+23.52N=(1.5kg+2.4kg)a  

8.82N=(3.9kg)a  

Then:

a=\frac{8.82N }{3.9kg}  

<h2>a=2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}}  </h2><h2>This is the acceleration of the system. </h2>

2) For the second part of the problem, we have to find the tension T of the string.

We can choose either the Free Body Diagram of block A or block B to make the calculations, <u>the result will be the same</u>.  

Let’s prove it:

For m_{1}

we see in the free body diagram that the <u>acceleration is in the same direction of the tension of the string</u>, so:

F_{r}=T-P_{1}   (9)

T-P_{1}=m_{1}a   (10)

T-14.7N=(1.5kg)( 2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}})    

Then;

<h2>T=18.09N   This is the tension of the string </h2><h2> </h2>

For m_{2}

we see in the free body diagram that the acceleration is in opposite direction of the tension of the string and must <u>have a negative sign,</u> so:

F_{r}=T-P_{2}   (9)

T-P_{2}=m_{2}a   (10)

T-23.52N=(2.4kg)(-2.26\frac{m}{ s^{2}})    

Then;

<h2>T=18.09N    This is the same tension of the string </h2>

A satellite orbits earth at constant speed in circular orbit.Which statement is correct? A The resultant force on the satellite
inn [45]

Answer:

B The resultant force on the satellite is towards the Earth.

Explanation:

In the case when the satellite orbits earth would be at constant speed in the circular orbit so hee the resultant force that on the satellite would be with regard to the earth

So as per the given situation, the option B is correct

And, the rest of the options would be wrong

And, the same would be relevant
