Sea scorpions or Eurypterids lived about 251.9 million years ago. They were formidable predators and hunters, but they were wiped out in the Great Permian Mass Extinction, which is also known as the Great Dying (96% of all species on Earth went extinct).The largest species like Jaekelopterus was over 7 feet long! They were mainly thought to go extinct because of a slew of natural disasters that occurred when a comet hit the Earth, as well as increased volcanic activity polluting the seas that Sea scorpions lived in, as well as rising sea temperatures. The Silurian, when these Sea scorpions proliferated was when the water was cooler, holding in more nutrients, allowing both Sea Scorpions and other animals to spread all over the world. But as the oceans became polluted from the volcanoes (and the ash they produced) and the global ocean temperatures began to rise, many animals may not have been able to cope or adapt to the extreme change, becoming helpless in their nutrient deficient water (compared to what they were used to).

Refer to the diagram shown below.
g = 9.8 m/s², and air resistance is ignored.
For mass m₁:
The normal reaction is m₁g.
The resisting force is R₁ = μm₁g.
For mass m₂:
The normal reaction is m₂g.
The resisting force is R₂ = μm₂g.
Let a = the acceleration of the system.
Then
(m₁ + m₂)a = F - (R₁ + R₂)
(14+26 kg)*(a m/s²) = (65 N) - 0.098*(9.8 m/s²)*(14+26 kg)
40a = 65 - 38.416 = 26.584
a = 0.6646 m/s²
Answer: 0.665 m/s² (nearest thousandth)
Answer:
a) T ’= 0.999 s
, b) t = 3596.4 s
Explanation:
The angular velocity of a simple pendulum is
w = √g / L
The angular velocity, frequency and period are related
w = 2π f = 2π / T
2π / T = √ g / L
T = 2π √ L / g
L = T² g / 4π²
L = 1² 9.8 / 4π²
L = 0.248 m
To know the effect of the temperature change let's use the thermal expansion ratios
ΔL = α L ΔT
ΔL = 24 10⁻⁶ 0.248 (-4 - 20)
ΔL = 142.8 10⁻⁶ m
Lf - L = -142. 8 10⁻⁶
Lf = 142.8 10⁻⁶ + 0.248
Lf = 0.2479 m
Let's calculate new period
T ’= 2π √ L / g
T ’= 2π √ (0.2479 / 9.8)
T ’= 0.999 s
We can see that the value of the period is reduced so that the clock is delayed
b) change of time in 1 hour
When the clock is at 20 ° C in one hour it performs 3600 oscillations, for the new period the time of this number of oscillations is
t = 3600 0.999
t = 3596.4 s
Therefore the clock is delayed almost 4 s
The answer is B. I hope this helps! :)
