Answer:

If one amoeba dies then two amoeba get born:

at different stages of the generations of the amoeba it changes accordingly and the died amoeba numbers are also change in the given manner :

          stages    dies                          born

          I               1                                2

          II              2^{1}           4 = 2^{2}

          III              2^{2}          8 = 2^{3}

At  n^{th} =  2^{n}    2^{n+1}

By the geometric series formula:

 1+a^{1}+ a^{2}+ a^{3}...+ a^{n}=\frac{a^{n+1} }{a^-1} }

so,  1+2^{1}+ 2^{2}+ 2^{3}...+ 2^{n}=\frac{2^{n+1} }{2^-1} }

Thus, total amoeba died = 2^{n+1}-1

        total amoeba died+1 = 2^{n+1} (born).... hence prooved

Answer:

The correct answer is - 0 m/s.

Explanation:

In this position-time graph or distance-time graph, there are three different part that shows three different velocities one in increasing as it moves from a lower position in relative to time and one is stationary and the third is decreasing.

'Straight lines' on a distance-time graph suggest that the movement of the object is constant. During 'Part B' of the journey the object travels 0m in 3s. It is stationary for 3 seconds so the velocity will be zero as well.

"during expiration, which best describes the role of the diaphragm?"
Scilla [17]
During respiration, the diaphragm moves upwards and returns to dome shape from the flattened shape before during expiration.

This movement of diaphragm can decrease the lung volume, increase the pressure inside and thus force the air out. This process is expiration.

However, if we breathe in again, which makes that inhalation, the diaphragm moves downwards into a flat shape so that it can increase the lung volume and thus we can breathe in as much air we can. This process is completely opposite from expiration.
