How does natural selection result in adaptations in a species?

1 answer:

5 0

This is because successful characteristics survive and reproduce.
Adaptation is both an evolutionary process and a result of natural selection, it is the process of evolution in which traits are modified by natural selection. It is a phenotypic trait that is moulded by natural selection such that organisms with successful characteristics survive and reproduce.

Answer: 211.059 m

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$\theta=70\°$ The angle at which the ball leaves the bat

$V_{o}=55 m/s$ The initial velocity of the ball

$g=-9.8 m/s^{2}$ The acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the ball travels in the air: $x$

Firstly we need to know this velocity has two components:

<u>Horizontally:</u>

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos \theta$ (1)

$V_{ox}=55 m/s cos(70\°)=18.811 m/s$ (2)

<u>Vertically:</u>

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin \theta$ (3)

$V_{oy}=55 m/s sin(70\°)=51.683 m/s$ (4)

On the other hand, when we talk about parabolic movement (as in this situation) the ball reaches its maximum height just in the middle of this parabola, when $V=0$ and the time $t$ is half the time it takes the complete parabolic path.

So, if we use the following equation, we will find $t$ :

$V=V_{o}+gt=0$ (5)

Isolating $t$ :

$t=\frac{-V_{o}}{g}$ (6)

$t=\frac{-55 m/s}{-9.8 m/s^{2}}$ (7)

$t=5.61 s$ (8)

Now that we have the time it takes to the ball to travel half of is path, we can find the total time $T$ it takes the complete parabolic path, which is twice $t$ :

$T=2t=2(5.61 s)=11.22 s$ (9)

With this result in mind, we can finally calculate how far the ball travels in the air:

$x=V_{ox}T$ (10)

Substituting (2) and (9) in (10):

$x=(18.811 m/s)(11.22 s)$ (11)

Finally:

$x=211.059 m$

Wind resistance _____ as speed increases.

Rudik [331]

The correct option is option B that wind resistance increases dramatically.

Explanation:

When the speed of an object increases resistance increases drastically because the object pushing through air has obtained a high speed but the air is unable to move out of the way so fast so show it tends to get compressed and oppose the moving object and the object names to put more pressure because some of the pressure goes into cutting air and moving through it.

Many arlines restrict maximum mass of a case to 23 kg why

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

weight

Explanation:

the weight of an object on an airline is one of the most important thing a pilot has to consider when prepping a flight and that is because if there is too much weight then the plane simply can't fly. imagine if everyone wanted to bring a 50 kg box. there are at least 200 people. that alone is 10,000 lg of weight than you have to factor in all the people, wires on the plane, and certain appliances that some planes have.
