Answer:

D. Farrow-to-finish operations raise hogs throughout their lifetime, feeder operations raise young hogs, and finisher operations raise older hogs

Explanation:

Hog farms operate in three different categories:

Farrow-to-finish: This involves breeding sows to produce offspring. The offspring's are then fed until they are have reached the size for slaughter. The entire process takes throughout the hogs lifetime.

Feeder operations: This involves breeding sows and then selling their piglets to other farmers who will then raise them for till they are matured for slaughters. This process is just to raise young hogs.

Finisher operations: This involves buying piglets from other farmers and then raising them until they are matured for slaughter. This finisher operations raise older hogs

Describe how each of Newton’s laws may be observable during a car trip.

aleksandrvk [35]

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Also if a car was going straight but another car (unbalanced force) bumps into it causing the motion of the car to change.

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed?

xz_007 [3.2K]

Maria and craters are explained below:

<u>Explanation: </u>

The Moon is divided into light area lunar highlands and a dark area called Lunar Maria.
Lunar Maria is large, dark, basaltic plains formed on earth's moon formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.
Craters are formed when an impacting object falls and hits the moon's surface with greater speed and also formed as a result of the outward explosion of rocks.
Craters are often caused by asteroids and meteorites with the lunar surface.
Unlike earth-moon does not have an atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies. This is the reason for more number of craters formed on earth.

Sara is studying the human skeletal system. Her classroom has a model skeleton. What main advantage does a model skeleton have o

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

A scientific model is a representation model for a certain scientific concept. Scientific models make it easier to study a phenomenon as they tend to model out the exact phenomenons.

A drawing of an skeleton would be unclear as the children might not be able to locate certain features in the drawing. For example, a certain joint could be missed by the teacher in the drawing or the child might not exactly be able to locate where the joint or bone is present.

But as the model will be more real to the actual skeleton system hence, studying through a skeleton will make it a lot easier to study the human skeletal system.
