Speciation is how new organisms arise. The fossil record's name is self-explanatory: a record of the fossil found. Natural selection is when traits that are better for survival are passed down to the next generation. Therefore, C) radiometric dating is the answer.

A car traveling at 60 mph has how much more energy than a car going at 15 mph?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

No, if a car is going faster. The RPM is obviously higher. If that is higher, you can burn through gas and energy much faster. A car going at 15mph would be cruising and wouldn't have to worry too much about burning our your vehicle.

A toy car having mass m = 1.10 kg collides inelastically with a toy train of mass M = 3.55 kg. Before the collision, the toy tra

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$V_{ft}= 317 cm/s$

ΔK = 2.45 J

Explanation:

a) Using the law of the conservation of the linear momentum:

$P_i = P_f$

Where:

$P_i=M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it}$

$P_f = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Now:

$M_cV_{ic} + M_tV_{it} = M_cV_{fc} + M_tV_{ft}$

Where $M_c$ is the mass of the car, $V_{ic}$ is the initial velocity of the car, $M_t$ is the mass of train, $V_{fc}$ is the final velocity of the car and $V_{ft}$ is the final velocity of the train.

Replacing data:

$(1.1 kg)(4.95 m/s) + (3.55 kg)(2.2 m/s) = (1.1 kg)(1.8 m/s) + (3.55 kg)V_{ft}$

Solving for $V_{ft}$ :

$V_{ft}= 3.17 m/s$

Changed to cm/s, we get:

$V_{ft}= 3.17*100 = 317 cm/s$

b) The kinetic energy K is calculated as:

K = $\frac{1}{2}MV^2$

where M is the mass and V is the velocity.

So, the initial K is:

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{ic}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{it}^2$

$K_i = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(4.95)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(2.2)^2$

$K_i = 22.06 J$

And the final K is:

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}M_cV_{fc}^2+\frac{1}{2}M_tV_{ft}^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.8)^2+\frac{1}{2}(3.55)(3.17)^2$

$K_f = 19.61 J$

Finally, the change in the total kinetic energy is:

ΔK = Kf - Ki = 22.06 - 19.61 = 2.45 J

Objects in space that are moving at a constant velocity in a straight line ___________.

nikdorinn [45]

The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it"
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia.

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 4.0 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each trav

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The coefficient of rolling friction will be "0.011".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Initial speed,

$v_i = 4.0 \ m/s$

then,

$v_f=\frac{4.0}{2}$

$=2.0 \ m/s$

Distance,

s = 18.2 m

The acceleration of a bicycle will be:

⇒ $a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{(2.0)^2-(4.0)^2}{2\times 18.2}$

⇒ $=\frac{4-8}{37}$

⇒ $=\frac{-4}{37}$

⇒ $=0.108 \ m/s^2$

As we know,

⇒ $f=ma$

and,

⇒ $\mu_rmg=ma$

⇒ $\mu_r=\frac{a}{g}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $=\frac{0.108}{9.8}$

⇒ $=0.011$
