Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

What has changed in the atmosphere is that oxidation has occurred where an oxidizing chemical specie has reacted with an oxygen containing compound.

Now these chemicals when they react with rain and fall on rocks react with the rocks to weaken them in a process known as chemical weathering.

Now when this weathering from the oxidizing chemicals from the rain react with rocks that contain iron, it leads to the rock having an appearance of rust.

The same force is applied separately to two objects, A and B. B has twice the mass of A. What happens?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

B's acceleration is half that of A

Explanation:

The force equation is;

Force = mass × acceleration

According to Newton's second law of motion, which explains the relationship between acceleration and mass of an object, an inverse relationship exists between the mass and the acceleration. For the same amount of force, an increase in mass (m) means a constant decrease in acceleration (a) of the object. In other words, if the mass of an object increases by two times, the acceleration will decrease by two times.

In this case involving objects A and B which has the same amount of force applied, object B has TWICE the mass of A. Using Newton's second law, this means that object B's ACCELERATION WILL BE HALF OF THAT OF OBJECT A.

What causes adaptions to occur ?
Nady [450]

Factors that influence general adaptation syndrome include that of a person’s health, nutrition, sex, ages, race, socioeconomic status, and genetics. These are factors that are either can precipitate a different reaction, while others are modifiable and unmodifiable traits.

In biology, adaptation has 3 related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic trait or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each organism, that is maintained and has evolved through natural selection.  Historically, adaptation has been described from the time of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Empedocles and Aristotle. In 18th and 19th century natural theology, adaptation was taken as evidence for the existence of a deity. Charles Darwin proposed instead that it was explained by natural selection.  Adaptation is related to biological fitness, which governs the rate of evolution as measured by a change in gene frequencies. Often, two or more species co-adapt and co-evolve as they develop adaptations that interlock with those of the other species, such as with flowering plants and pollinating insects. In mimicry, species evolve to resemble other species; in Müllerian mimicry, this is a mutually beneficial co-evolution as each of a group of strongly defended species (such as wasps able to sting) come to advertise their defenses in the same way. Features evolved for one purpose may be co-opted for a different one, as when the insulating feathers of dinosaurs were co-opted for bird flight.  Adaptation is a major topic in the philosophy of biology, as it concerns function and purpose (teleology). Some biologists try to avoid terms that imply purpose in adaptation, not least because it suggests a deity's intentions, but others note that adaptation is necessarily purposeful.
