Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.

A ball is dropped and bounces off the floor. Its speed is the same immediately before and immediately after the collision. Which

Korolek [52]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

when the ball drops, the velocity of the ball before the collision is v

After the collision, the velocity of the ball is the same but in the opposite direction.

Impulse delivered to the ball and the floor, in this case, is not zero.

The magnitude of the momentum remains the same but the direction of the ball changes.

In the combo circuit diagrammed, R1 = 19.2 Ω, R2 = 20.7 Ω, and R3 = 25.8 Ω. Find the equivalent resistance of the circuit.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Equivalent resistance: 13.589 Ω

Explanation:

R series = R1 + R2 + R3 ...

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2} +\frac{1}{R3} ...$

Find the equivalent resistance of the right branch of the circuit:

$R_{eq} = R_{2} +R_{3} \\R_{eq} = 20.7 + 25.8 = 46.5 ohms$

$\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = \frac{1}{19.2} +\frac{1}{46.5}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq} } = 0.0735887097\\\\R_{eq} = 13.5890411$

Hey JayDilla, I get 1/3. Here's how:
Kinetic energy due to linear motion is:
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where
$v=r \omega$
giving
$E_{linear}= \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2$

The rotational part requires the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder
$I_{cyl} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$
Then the rotational kinetic energy is
$E_{rot}= \frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2= \frac{1}{4}mr^2 \omega ^2$
Adding the two types of energy and factoring out common terms gives
$\frac{1}{2}mr^2 \omega ^2(1+ \frac{1}{2})$
Here the "1" in the parenthesis is due to linear motion and the "1/2" is due to the rotational part. Since this gives a total of 3/2 altogether, and the rotational part is due to a third of this (1/2), I say it's 1/3.
