Answer: A.
Explanation: Roughly 180 - 200 million years ago, just before the first dinosaurs evolved. Mammals themselves evolved from a group or reptiles which exhibited mammal-like traits. One of them was specialized teeth. Reptiles tend to have teeth all the same shape. The mammal-like reptiles evolved tiny teeth in front of the jaw and two pairs of over sized fangs along the the sides. Like modern mammals, the head was large in proportion to the rest of the body. The jaws were also evolving another mammal trait, the ability to move sideways. Despite the lack of specialized teeth, acute hearing and the ability to chew, the dinosaurs evolved an adaptation which made them far more successful than mammals--modified leg bones. These limbs could be articulated directly under their bodies. This enabled the legs to support more weight, since the limbs were now under the body instead of at the sides. Then dinosaurs did something which secured their dominance for the next 120 million years - they began to stand on two legs. Although the back was still parallel to the ground, running on two legs greatly increased the dinosaur's speed. Mammals could simply not compete with swift, giant predators and were forced to remain small, and most became nocturnal to evade dinosaurs which were probably active during the day. Despite that they managed to survive which allowed the further evolution of mammals into us, humans.
Answer:
43.7 °C
Explanation:
= Coefficient of linear expansion of brass = 
= Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 
= Initial length of brass = 31 cm
= Initial length of steel = 11 m
= Total change in length = 3 mm
Total change in length would be
The final temperature is 43.7 °C
Answer:
d. 37 °C
Explanation:
= mass of lump of metal = 250 g
= specific heat of lump of metal = 0.25 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C
= mass of water = 75 g
= specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of water = 20 °C
= mass of calorimeter = 500 g
= specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C
= Final equilibrium temperature
Using conservation of heat
Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter
Why do transformers hum? Transformer noise is caused by a phenomenon which causes a piece of magnetic sheet steel to extend itself when magnetized. When the magnetization is taken away, it goes back to its original condition. This phenomenon is scientifically referred to as magnetostriction.
