In an attempt to identify an unknown metal, a scientist measures out 20. grams of the unknown material and brings it to its melt

ing temperature. The scientist then determines that the amount of energy required to completely melt all of the unknown metal is 2100 J. Use the table below to identify the metal:
metal Latent heat of fusion (J/g) Latent heat of vaporization (J/g)

Nickel 298 6430

Silver 105 2390

Aluminum 397 10900



nickel

silver

aluminum

none of the above

Answer:

Option D, None of the above

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change the phase of metal from solid to liquid. While Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of energy required to change the phase of metal from liquid to gas.

Now, in the question the unknown metal melts from solid to liquid when 2100 J of energy is supplied.

None of the metal in the given set of options has  " metal Latent heat of fusion" equal to or near to 2100 J

Thus, option D is correct.

Which natural selection condition example can be classified as over production of offspring?
Tatiana [17]
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time. Natural selection is the principal mechanism of evolutionary change, and is the most important idea in all biology. Natural selection, the unifying concept of life, was first proposed by Charles Darwin, and represents his single greatest contribution to science.

Natural selection occurs in any reproducing population faced with a changing or variable environment. The environment includes not only physical factors such as climate or terrain, but also living factors such as predators, prey, and other members of a population.

Mechanism of Natural Selection

The mechanism of natural selection depends on several phenomena:

• Heredity: Offspring inherit their traits from their parents, in the form of genes.

• Heritable individual variation: Members of a population have slight differences among them, whether in height, eyesight acuity, beak shape, rate of egg production, or other traits that may affect survival and reproduction. If a trait has a genetic basis, it can be passed on to offspring.

• Overproduction of offspring: In any given generation, populations tend to create more progeny than can survive to reproductive age.

• Competition for resources: Because of excess population, individuals must compete for food, nesting sites, mates, or other resources that affect their ability to successfully reproduce.

Given all these factors, natural selection unavoidably occurs. Those members of a population that reproduce the most will, by definition, leave more offspring for the next generation. These offspring inherit their parents' traits, and are therefore also likely to succeed in competition for resources (assuming the environment continues to pose the same challenges as those faced by parents). Over several generations, the proportion of offspring in a population that are descended from the successful ancestor



Uloborid spider eggs and spiderlings. In any given generation, populations tend to create more offspring than can survive to reproductive age.

increases, and traits that made the ancestor successful therefore also increase in frequency. Natural selection leads to adaptation, in which an organism's traits conform to the environment's conditions for existence.

To keep the humeral head centered within the glenoidal cavity the rotator cuff muscles must be __________. Select to launch anim
enyata [817]

Answer:

<h2> located in the same plane</h2>

Explanation:

  • Such types of muscles and tendons that play an important role in the stabilization of the shoulder are called rotator cuff muscle.
  • These muscles are responsible for the different types of motion and simply called a different range of motion.
  • Muscles like scapulohumeral muscles,  infraspinatus muscle and some others are grouped as rotator muscle.
  • These muscles are involved in the movement of the shoulder and also stabilize the joints of the shoulder for the movement and during the movement.
  • When the humeral head is centered within the cavity of the glenoidal then the rotator cuff muscle should be on the same plane.
