<span>Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... The term also applies to the refraction of sound.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of ship =1240 kg
height=37 m
(a)Work done by Tension in cable+work done by gravity =0
Work done by gravity =change in potential energy of mass
Thus work done by tension=449.624 kJ
(b)work done by force of gravity
=-449.624 kJ
Answer: A.
Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.
The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that
4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s) → <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²
Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that
<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N
Answer is C. All of the others are internal/molecular changes.
