Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_1v_2

Where :

m_1, m_2 = masses of object collided

u_1,u_2 = initial velocity before collision

v_1,v_2 = final velocity after collision

We have :

Two equal-mass carts roll towards each other.

m_1=m_2=M

Initial velocity of m_1=u_1=2 m/s

Initial velocity of m_2=u_2=-1 m/s (opposite direction)

Final velocity of m_1=v_1=v (same direction )

Final velocity of m_2=v_2=v  (same direction)

M\times 2 m/s+M(-1 m/s)=Mv+Mv

1 m/s=2v

v = 0.5 m/s

The speed of the carts after their collision is 0.5 m/s.

The solution for this problem is computed by through this formula, F = kQq / d²Plugging in the given values above, we can now compute for the answer.
F = 8.98755e9N·m²/C² * -(7e-6C)² / (0.03m)² = -489N, the negative sign denotes attraction.

Assume that the driver begins to brake the car when the distance to the wall is d=107m, and take the car's mass as m-1400kg, its
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Let let the frictional force needed be F

Work done by frictional force = kinetic energy of car

F x 107 = 1/2 x 1400 x 35²

F = 8014 N

b )

maximum possible static friction

= μ mg

where μ is coefficient of static friction

= .5 x 1400 x 9.8

= 6860 N

c )

work done by friction for μ = .4

= .4 x 1400 x 9.8 x 107

= 587216 J

Initial Kinetic energy

= .5 x 1400 x 35 x 35

= 857500 J

Kinetic energy at the at of collision

= 857500 - 587216

= 270284 J

So , if v be the velocity at the time of collision

1/2 mv² = 270284

v = 19.65 m /s

d ) centripetal force required

= mv₀² / d which will be provided by frictional force

= (1400 x 35 x 35) / 107

= 16028 N

Maximum frictional force possible

= μmg

= .5 x 1400 x 9.8

= 6860 N

So this is not possible.

You are an evolutionary biologist studying a population of bats in the rain forest in Brazil. Most of the population possesses m
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

In the stabilizing natural selection, the extreme traits from both the ends are eliminated by natural selection and natural selection favors the intermediate trait. So over time individuals having the intermediate traits are selected over the individuals having extreme traits.

So here the population of the bat which possesses moderate wing length is selected over the individual with extreme traits like individuals with short wings and long wings. As a result, the population of moderate length wing bats increased.

Therefore the correct answer is (B)- stabilizing natural selection.
