Answer:

Option A, It reaches its orbit in about 4 minutes.

Explanation:

The speed with which the space shuttle moves = 3094 miles per hour.

The distance to which this space shuttle has to move is 300 kilometers

Given

1 KM = 0.62 miles

So 300KM = 0.62 * 300 = 186 miles

Lets explore each option one by one

Option D-

So, the distance covered by space shuttle in 10 minutes is equal to

3094 * \frac{10}{60} \\= 515 miles\\

hence , option D is incorrect

Option C -

the distance covered by space shuttle in 5 minutes is equal to

3094 * \frac{5}{60} \\= 257 \\miles

hence , option C is incorrect

Option B-

Time taken by space shuttle to reach orbit at 186 miles distance

\frac{186}{\frac{3094}{60} } \\= 3.60

hence , option B is incorrect

Therefore option A is correct

Match the type of of evidence for evolution with the correct example. analogous structures vestigial structures homologous struc
gogolik [260]

• Homologous structures: Both Ostriches have wings similar in form to those of their ancestors, but that do not allow the birds to fly.

Homologous structures are those that have structural similarities but are different in function. For example, if we look at the anatomical structure of a bird’s wing, it is very similar in structure with a human arm. However, over the course of time they have evolved to perform different functions.

• Vestigial structures: The inner ear bones of mammals have evolved from bones that form the jaws of reptiles.  

Vestigiality refers to the process in which some structure lose their function over the course of evolution in some specie but they are functionally normal in other species.  Such a structure is the inner ear bones of mammals which donot perform an important function in mammals but do perform in reptiles.

• DNA sequence data: Both Genes involved in RNA replication are conserved among bacteria and animals, suggesting a common evolutionary origin.

The sequencing of genetic data is an excellent method of finding the evolutionary histories and relatedness of different organisms. This field of sciences is called phylogenetics and the mentioned example is the result of phylogenetics.

• Analogous structures: The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates arose independently, indicating a different evolutionary origin.  

Analogous structures are those that have similar function but they look very different in structure or anatomy. This is because they have been evolved from different ancestors and perform different functions. One example of these structures is mentioned, The jointed legs of insects and vertebrates that look different bur perform same function.

trapecia [35]

Answer:

The cause is likely Manifestation of dehydration

Explanation:

The hematocrit measures the red cell mass in a 100-mL plasma volume. The hematocrit may be deceptive because it varies with the quantity of extracellular fluid, rising with dehydration and falling with over expansion of extracellular fluid volume. The client is manifesting an abnormal elevation as a result of fluid loss.
