Here is the Sample Response:

Maia is not correct because a straight line moving upwards on a position vs time graph has a constant slope, so it represents constant velocity. No change in velocity means no acceleration is taking place.

Let's start by using the definition of acceleration. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over the change in time. In equation, that would be Δvelocity/Δtime. Based on the axes of the given graph, it shows the trend of position over time. So, the slope of the line and the curve shows the change of position over change of time, Δdistance/Δtime. In physics, this is the definition of speed or velocity. So, Maia is incorrect. Both curves show the speed or velocity of the object, and not acceleration. If the graph used a y-axis of velocity instead of position, then only at that instance, would be Maia be correct.

The difference between the two is, the straight line shows constant velocity while the curve line shows changing velocity.

Who is Gregor Mendeſ, and what did he<br> discover about traits?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Through his careful breeding of garden peas, Gregor Mendel discovered the basic principles of heredity and laid the mathematical foundation of the science of genetics.

How could you tell whether a liquid is <br> honey or vinegar?
MissTica
Based on the liquids viscosity (which is a measure of how quickly/slowly a fluid can flow).

Higher viscosity represents a "thicker" liquid & slower flow (honey)
Lower viscosity represents a "thinner" liquid & quicker flow (vinegar)
