Answer:
Explanation:
Scientific evidence takes note of the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories, including direct observation of evolutionary change, the fossil record, homology, and biogeography.
Examples of the categories with their respective examples are:
Direct observation of evolutionary change: Development of drug resistant bacteria
Fossil record: Discovery of transitional forms of horses, Discovery of shells of extinct species
Homology: Similarities in mammalian forelimbs, Same genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, Vestigial pelvis in right whales
Biogeography: Similarity of endemic island species to nearby mainland species, The high concentration of marsupial species in Australia
Answer:
Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.
Explanation:
Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.
Answer:
q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg
Explanation:
Given:
Initial State:
P_i = 550 KPa
T_i = 400 K
Final State:
T_f = 350 K
Constants:
R = 0.189 KJ/kgK
k = 1.289 = c_p / c_v
n = 1.2 (poly-tropic index)
Find:
Determine the heat transfer per kg in the process.
Solution:
-The heat transfer per kg of poly-tropic process is given by the expression:
q_poly = w_poly*(k - n)/(k-1)
- Evaluate w_poly:
w_poly = R*(T_f - T_i)/(1-n)
w_poly = 0.189*(350 - 400)/(1-1.2)
w_poly = 47.25 KJ/kg
-Hence,
q_poly = 47.25*(1.289 - 1.2)/(1.289-1)
q_poly = 14.55 KJ/kg
<span>Given:
3,500 kilometers
Find:</span>
Years for two continents to collide = ?
<span>Solution:
We know that </span>typical motions of one plate relative to another
are 1 centimeter per year.
So first, we convert 3,500 km to cm.<span>
</span><span>
</span>
The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
1 km = 100,000 cm
3,500 km x 100,000 = 350,000,000 cm
Since we know that 1 cm = 1 year, then that means
350,000,000 cm is equivalent to 350,000,000 years.
Therefore, it would take 350 million years for two continents
that are 3500 kilometers apart to collide.
<span>
To add, </span>a phenomenon of the plate tectonics of Earth that occurs at
convergent boundaries is called the continental collision.
