A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the op

posite bank, he walks 118 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is 36.0°. How wide is the river?

Answer:

W = 85.73 m

Explanation:

given,

surveyor walks = 118 m

makes an angle of = 36.0° with the tree

to find the width of the river

tan \theta = \dfrac{W}{distance}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

tan 36^0 = \dfrac{W}{118}

W = 118 \times 0.7265

W = 85.73 m

hence, the width of the river is equal to W = 85.73 m

Earthquake damage causes two rabbits to be separated from the rest of the rabbits in their large habitat. They have no way to ge
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>A.The rabbits in the new habitat will have lower genetic variation than the rabbits in the original habitat. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If two animals of opposite sex are isolated from a larger group of animal, and made to reproduce. They will produce offspring with similar genetic makeup. If this offspring still remain isolated, and continue to interbreed within themselves for a number of consecutive generations, their offspring will all be very closely related genetically. Situations like this just as with the two rabbits in the question leads to a lower genetic variation within the offspring of the two animals.

Animals need to reproduce within a larger group in order to increase genetic variation. Increasing genetic variation reduces the risk of been sucked into a gene pool. A lower genetic variation reduces the fitness of the animals involved. It is only an advantage in cases in which the the original pair are resistant to a deadly disease. In this case all the offspring also develop this immunity. Mostly the effects of a lower genetic variation leaves negative impacts, and animals try to avoid this by preferring to interbreed with unrelated partner

A gas is compressed from an initial volume of 5.75 L to a final volume of 1.23 L by an external pressure of 1.00 atm. During the
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

<em>The internal energy change is 330.01 J</em>

Explanation:

Given

v_{1} the initial volume = 5.75 L

v_{2} the final volume = 1.23 L

P_{e} is the external pressure = 1.00 atm

q the heat energy removed = -128 J (since is removed from the system)

expansion against a constant external pressure is an example of an irreversible pathway, here pressure in is greater than pressure out and can be obtained thus;

W = -P_{e}ΔV

W = -1.00 x(1.23 - 5.75)

W =  -1.00 x -4.52

W = 4.52 L atm

converting to joules we have

W = 4.52 L atm x 101.33 J/ L atm = 458.01 J

The internal energy change during compression can be calculated thus;

ΔU = q + W

ΔU = -128 J + 458.01 J

ΔU = 330.01 J

Therefore the internal energy change is 330.01 J

Two stars that are in the same constellation:
Burka [1]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

A constellation is usually defined as a collection of stars that appears in the sky forming a particular type of shape or pattern. They are located at a very large distance from one another. These constellations are often used in order to locate any astronomical objects in space.

These stars appearing in a constellation generally appears to be closer to one another in the night sky, but they are actually located at about many light years away from one another.  

For example, in the Orion constellation, the stars appearing in the sky are about 25-30 light-years away from one another.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
