Fossils are rare because certain conditions are needed to preserve an organism in order for it to fossilize, and those condition

s themselves are rare. Which of these conditions is LEAST likely to result in fossilization? A) Organism has an exoskeleton. B) Organism lives in or near water. C) Organism lives in a colder climate. D) Organism is prey to several species.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The least of the conditions that can result in fossilization would be <u>when an organism is a prey to several species.</u>

Fossils are remains or traces of organisms that have been geological preserved and a prey is an organism that is often hunted and serves as food to bigger organisms. <em>When an organism is eaten, the probability of it becoming a fossil becomes low. Unless such an organism is usually partially eaten by predators, there would not be any remains, let alone being fossilized.</em>

The correct option is D.

The conventional relatively small unit for work(ignoring time) such as raising one pound one foot is the foot-pound(ft. lb.). Si
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1 joule = 0.737 foot-pound

Joule is the unit of work.

1 J = 1 N·m

In SI units

1 J = 1 kg· m/s²

0.737 foot-pound is the amount of work to raise 0.737 pounds one foot or raising one pound to 0.737 ft.

A car, traveling at , encounters a dip in the road. The radius of curvature at the bottom of the dip is . Each of the car’s four
labwork [276]

Answer:

spring deflection is  x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with Newton's second law. Let's analyze the situation the car goes down a road and finds a dip (hollow) that we will assume that it has a circular shape in the lower part has the car weight, elastic force and a centripetal acceleration

 

Let's write the equations on the Y axis of this description

       Fe - W = m a_{c}

Where Fe is elastic force, W the weight and a_{c}  the centripetal acceleration. The elastic force equation is

       Fe = - k x

     

       4 (k x) - mg = m v² / R

The four is because there are four springs, R is theradio of dip

We can calculate the deflection (x) of the springs

       x = (m v2 / R + mg) / 4

       

       x = (v2 / R + g) m / 4

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.8 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 11 m/s, and it bounce
Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 352 N

Explanation:

we know that:

F*t = ΔP

so:

F*t = MV_f-MV_i

where F is the force excerted by the wall, t is the time, M the mass of the ball, V_f the final velocity of the ball and V_i the initial velocity.

Replacing values, we get:

F(0.05s) = (0.8 kg)(11m/s)-(0.8 kg)(-11m/s)

solving for F:

F = 352 N

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U
