Answer:

The theory of punctuated equilibrium is a theory of evolutionary biology that aims to explain the pattern of speciation, which is observed in the fossil records. It states that the organism is in the stasis, until a major changes cause evolutionary pressure, which leads to a rapid speciation until stability is again reached between the organism.

Example: A species of sea animals live, breed and dies from thousands of years, suddenly the sea level changes and animals adapt to that situation.

The theory of punctuated equilibrium states that is a species appear in a fossil record, they will become stable over time and can show little changes in evolution as time goes by. An example would be the feline creatures. Although cats and tigers have a different structure in their body, the facial structure and the way they hunt are similar.

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 10.0 m

adell [148]

Answer:

5.565 V

Explanation:

Radius of coil of generator=r=0.14 m

Length of wire=l=10 m

Magnetic field,B=0.24 T

Angular speed, $\omega=34rad/s$

We have to find the peak emf of the generator.

$N=\frac{l}{2\pi r}=\frac{10}{2\pi\times 0.14}=11$

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.14)^2=0.062m^2$

Peak(maximum) induced emf of generator= $E_{max}=NBA\omega$

Using the formula

$E_{max}=11\times 0.24\times 0.062\times 34$

$E_{max}=5.565 V$

Use Newton's laws to explain why a falling object dropped from a 57m tower accelerates initially but then reaches constant veloc

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

At the point of dropping the object, by Newton's first law due to gravitational force $F_g$ = m × g, accelerates

By Newton's Second law the object reaches impacts on the air with the gravitational force resulting in changing momentum of m×(Final Velocity - Initial Velocity)

As the velocity increases, the rate of change of momentum becomes equivalent to the gravitational force and by Newton's third law, the action action and reaction are equal and opposite hence they cancel each other out

The body then moves at a constant uniform motion down according to Newton's first law

Explanation:

At the point the object of mass, m, is dropped from the height of the tower, the only force acting on the object is the gravitational force such that the object has an acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity, g, and the gravitational force is therefore = m × g

As the speed of the object increases while the object is falling with the gravitational acceleration the rate at which the object cuts through layers of air which (by Newton's first law of motion, are at rest ) has some buoyancy effect also increases therefore, the object is constantly increasingly changing the momentum of the air which by Newton's second law results, at an high enough velocity, and by Newton's third law, in a force equal to the applied gravitational force

Therefore, the force of the air drag becomes equal to the gravitational force, cancelling each other out and the object then moves according to Newton;s first law, in uniform motion of a constant speed while still falling down.

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel

BARSIC [14]

The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

hope this helps
