You push very hard on a heavy desk, trying to move it. You do work on the desk:

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that work done is given by

$W=F.d=Fdcos\Theta$

So there are two case in which work done is zero

First case is that when force and displacement are perpendicular to each other

And other case is that when there is no displacement

So for work to be done there must have displacement, if there is no displacement then there is no work done

So option (c) will be the correct option

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.

Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

Explanation:

(a) Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

$|\Delta T| = |x - y|K$

= 15.1 K

= $|(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C$

= $|x - y|^{o}C$

= $15.1^{o}C$

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

F = 1.8C + 32

C = $\frac{F - 32}{1.8}$

Since, K = C + 273

or, $\Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}$

$\Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K$

= 1.8 (15.1)

= $27.18^{o}F$

or, = $27.2^{o}F$

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

Archy [21]

Answer:

B: beaks, finches.

Explanation:

Beaks, finches. This is because he noticed that fruit-eating finches had beaks similar to parrots, while finches that ate insects had narrow beaks. The difference in their beaks is due to adapting to different environments which causes them to evolve into different species of finches.
