Michael and Andrew are pushing a desk across the room. To be funny, Michael decides to push against Andrew instead of with him.

Michael can push with a force of 30 N. Andrew can only push with a force of 28 N. In which direction will the desk move?

Answer:

towards Andrew

Explanation:

The direction in which the desk will move would be towards Andrew.

This is a simple case of resultant force. If both Michael and Andrew had pushed the desk together across the classroom, the resultant force would have been the addition of their individual's applied forces - neglecting any other extraneous forces. However, since they decided to push against each other, the resultant force would the subtraction of their individual forces and the desk will move towards the person with who applied the lower forces out of the two.

<em>Since Michael applied force was 30 N and that of Andrew was 28 N, the resultant force would therefore be 2 N in the direction of Andrew. In other words, </em><em>the desk would move towards Andrew.</em>

Explain the relationship between mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinction
Musya8 [376]

Mutations and natural selection cause adaptations. Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations.  

Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment.  

A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence. Sometimes such alterations code for the same amino acid sequence as the unaltered DNA strand during protein synthesis. In such a circumstance, the mutation is not detectable. However, other mutations alter the genetic code in such a way that a noticeable change in the trait that is associated with that gene is visible. Sometimes such mutations are advantageous and improve the organism's ability to survive in its environment.  

Natural selection is the process by which organisms with more advantageous traits (being camouflaged, being covered with the correct outer covering for the temperatures of that environment, stronger/ larger/ or faster to fight off or run from predators, etc.) are more likely to survive in a particular environment. Likewise, organisms less advantageous traits are more likely to die due to the pressures exerted by the environment (such as temperature, predators, illness, etc.). Therefore, the organisms with the advantageous traits that survive are more likely to survive to find a mate and reproduce. Thus, the advantageous traits are passed down to future generations.
