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.

A planar loop consisting of seven turns of wire, each of which encloses 200 cm2, is oriented perpendicularly to a magnetic field
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The induced current is 0.084 A

Explanation:

the area given by the exercise is

A = 200 cm^2 = 200x10^-4 m^2

R = 5 Ω

N = 7 turns

The formula of the emf induced according to Faraday's law is equal to:

ε = (-N * dφ)/dt = (N*(b2-b1)*A)/dt

Replacing values:

ε = (7*(38 - 14) * (200x10^-4))/8x10^-3 = 0.42 V

the induced current is equal to:

I = ε /R = 0.42/5 = 0.084 A

True [87]

Answer:

A combined reaction is when two or more reagents combine __ to form a product

Explanation:

A combination or synthesis reaction, consists of the formation of a substance from the reaction of two or more substances.

Example: A + B -> C

A small sphere is at rest at the top of a frictionless semicylindrical surface. The sphere is given a slight nudge to the right
V125BC [204]

Answer:

vi = 4.77 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The radius of the surface R = 1.45 ft

- The Angle at which the the sphere leaves

- Initial velocity vi

- Final velocity vf

Find:

Determine the sphere's initial speed.

Solution:

- Newton's second law of motion in centripetal direction is given as:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - N = m*v^2 / R

Where, m: mass of sphere

             g: Gravitational Acceleration

             θ: Angle with the vertical

             N: Normal contact force.

- The sphere leaves surface at θ = 34°. The Normal contact is N = 0. Then we have:

                         m*g*cos(θ) - 0 = m*vf^2 / R

                         g*cos(θ) = vf^2 / R    

                         vf^2 = R*g*cos(θ)

                         vf^2 = 1.45*32.2*cos(34)

                        vf^2 = 38.708 ft/s

- Using conservation of energy for initial release point and point where sphere leaves cylinder:

                          ΔK.E = ΔP.E

                          0.5*m* ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = m*g*(R - R*cos(θ))

                          ( vf^2 - vi^2 ) = 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 =  vf^2 - 2*g*R*( 1 - cos(θ))

                          vi^2 = 38.708 - 2*32.2*1.45*(1-cos(34))

                          vi^2 = 22.744

                           vi = 4.77 ft/s

The African and South American continents are separating at a rate of about 3 cm per year, according to the ideas of plate tecto
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

166 666 666.7 years

Explanation:

We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.

We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart

So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart

t = distance/speed

t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
