Well,
For the first one, the answer would be C, because all organisms in Kingdom Animalia must eat in order to survive.
For the second one, all of the options are in Kingdom Animalia, but worms (A) and clams (C) are invertebrates. So that leaves options B and D.
Im guessing it's (a) since the numbers go in chronological order and you read the periodic table left to right
The correct answer is
C. Light can pass through Object B faster than it can pass through Object A.
In fact, the index of refraction of a material is defined as:

where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v is the speed of light in the material. Rearranging the equation, we can write the speed of light in the material as:

So we that, the smaller the refractive index n, the greater the speed of light in the material, v. In this problem, object B has lower refractive index than object A, so light travels faster in object B.
Answer:
M1 V1 = M1 V2 + M2 V3 conservation of momentum
V2 = (M1 V1 - M2 V3) / M1 where V2 = speed of M1 after impact
V2 = (3 * 9 - 1.5 * 5) / 9 = (27 - 7.5) / 9 = 2.17 m/s
Note: All speeds are in the same direction and have the same sign
