What Species can change over time to adapt to their environment

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Most environments have many niches. If a niche is "empty" (no organisms are occupying it), new species are likely to evolve to occupy it. This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche.

What is the rate at which an object moves but doesn't include direction?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Great question !

The rate at which an object covers distance, without worrying
about the direction it's moving, is the object's SPEED .

When the direction is also given, then you have the object's VELOCITY.

This question is important. It gives us a chance to point out that
"velocity" is not just a fancy word for speed that you use when you
want to sound smart. There's actually an important difference between
'speed' and 'velocity'.

Explanation:

V=40m/s

Vy=V.sina=40.sin20=40 . 0.342=13.68m/s

Vx=V.cosa=40.cos20=40 . 0.766=30.64m/s

Projectile travels during 5 seconds and the ramge becomes:

x=V.t=30.64 . 5=153.2m

An air craft heads north at 320 km/hr relative to the wind. the wind velocity is 80km/hr from the north. find the relative veloc

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is 240 km/hr

Explanation:

Relative velocity is different from normal velocity;

When 2 objects are moving in opposite directions towards each other, they will appear to be faster than they actually are;

This is known as the relative velocity;

The information tells us we have the aircraft moving 320 km/hr northwards relative to the wind;

The wind is in the opposite direction at 80 km/hr;

R = relative velocity of the aircraft

v = actual velocity of the aircraft

w = velocity of the wind

R = v + w

Note: if the wind was moving in the same direction, the formula would be R = v - w

320 = v + 80

v = 320 - 80

v = 240

The velocity relative to the ground is simply the actual velocity as the ground doesn't move;

So, relative to the ground, the velocity of the aircraft is simply 240 km/hr

MamaMia's Pizza purchases its pizza delivery boxes from a printing supplier. MamaMia's delivers on-average 200 pizzas each month

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a) 138 units

b) 17 units

c) 17 units

d) Total Cost = $353.35

Explanation:

Given:

Average pizzas delivered = 200

Charge of inventory holding = 30% of cost

Lead time = 7 days

Now,

a) Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{Annual Demand}\times\textup{Cost per Order}}{\textup{Carrying cost}}$

also,

Annual Demand = 200 × 12 = 2400

Cost per Order = Cost of Box + Processing Costs

= 30 cents + $10

= $10.30

and, Carrying Cost = $\frac{\textup{Total Inventory Cost}}{\textup{total annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\textup{Total Cost per order}\times\textup{Annual demand}\times\frac{25}{100}}{\textup{Annual demand}}$

= $\frac{\$10.30\times2400}\times\frac{25}{100}}{2400}$

= $2.575

Therefore,

Economic Order Quantity = $\sqrt\frac{2\times\textup{2400}\times\textup{10.30}}{\textup{2.575}}$

= 138.56 ≈ 138 units

b) Reorder Point

= (average daily unit sales × the lead time in days) + safety stock

= ( $\frac{200}{30}\times7$

= 46.67 ≈ 47 units

c) Number of orders per year = $\frac{\textup{Annual Demand}}{\textup{Economic order quantity}}$

= $\frac{\textup{2400}}{\textup{138}}$

= 17.39 ≈ 17 units

d) Total Annual Cost (Total Inventory Cost)

= Ordering Cost + Holding Cost

Now,

The ordering Cost = Cost per Order × Total Number of orders per year

= $10.30 × 17

= $175.1

and,

Holding Cost = Average Inventory Held × Carrying Cost per unit

Average Inventory Held = $\frac{\textup{0+138}}{\textup{2}}$ = 69

Carrying Cost per unit = $2.575

Holding Cost = 69 × $2.575 =

$177.675

Therefore,

Total Cost = Ordering Cost + carrying cost

= $175.1 + $177.675 = $353.35
