An Asian elephant has a weight of 52,900 newtons. This enormous weight is balanced on four feet. In a circus act, these elephant

s often balance on one foot. The average surface area of a foot pad is 2,920 cm2. What pressure is experienced at the food pad if an elephant balances all its weight on one foot? 0.0551 N/cm2 18.1 N/cm2 52,900 N 1.84 N

Answer:

Option B, 18.11 \frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Explanation:

Given-

The average surface area of one foot pad of an elephant is 2920 cm^{2}\\

Weight of an Asian elephant is 52900 newton

As we know, pressure is equal to total weight divided by total area of the surface on which it is concentrated.

Thus, pressure on one foot  pad of elephant is \frac{52900}{2920} \frac{N}{cm^{2}} \\

= 18.11\frac{N}{cm^{2}}

Hence, option B is correct answer

A new mutation arises in one person on the island of Kiribati (human population size 100,000). Assuming this particular mutation
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.999999 ≈ 1

Explanation:

In a population ( N ) there is the presence of 2N alleles in the population also chance of fixation can be expressed as ; 1/ 2N

Therefore the probability that the mutation will be lost due to genetic drift

= 2N - 1 / 2N ---- ( 1 )

given that ; N = 100,000

back to equation 1

P ( losing mutation due to genetic drift ) = ((2*100,000) - 1 )) / ( 2* 100,000 )

= ( 200,000 - 1 ) / 200,000

= 0.999999 ≈ 1

carolus linnaeus created the linnaean system of classification using 2 latin names to designate each organism
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

<em>Carolus Linnaeus devised the binomial nomenclature system under which the organisms were named using their Genus name and Species name. </em>The Genus name was written first, forward by the species name. The system of binomial nomenclature allowed for assigning a scientific name to all the organisms so that the conversations between scientists could be made easier. For example, humans have the scientific name<u><em>,</em></u><em> Homo Sapiens</em>, where Homo is the genus name and sapiens is the species name.
