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 brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 5.0 m/s2. If you are going 135 km/h and suddenly see a s
poizon [28]

Answer:

3.33 seconds

Explanation:

We can use the velocity formula [ v = u + at ] to solve.

Find the value "u".

135km/h -> 135km*1000m/3600s -> 37.5m/s

Find the value "v".

75km/h -> 75km*1000m/3600s -> 20.83m/s

Keep in mind we are dealing with "deceleration" so when we input 5.0m/s into the formula, it will be a negative value.

Now, find "t" which is the value we aren't given with the values we're given in the question.

20.83 = 37.5 - 5t

-16.67 = -5t

3.33 = t

Best of luck!

A Ca atom (atomic number = 20) is in the ground state. Light is shined on the atom, exciting the most energetic electron. Which
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The possible quantum numbers for Ca atom when it is in excited

n = 4

l= 1

m =-1,0,1

Explanation:

Given that,

Atomic number = 20

The configuration of Ca

Ca = 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2

So, The principle quantum number is n =4.

The azimuthal quantum number can take value from 0,1,2...(n-1)

In the ground state, l= 0

When it is excited to p state

Then, l = 1

The magnetic quantum number can take value from l to -l

m=1,0,-1

Hence, The possible quantum numbers for Ca atom when it is in excited

n = 4

l= 1

m =-1,0,1

12. Suppose a person uses a mechanical iack to lift half the weight of a car with a
Likurg_2 [28]

a) The force that must be applied is 73.5 N

b) The actual efficiency is 82 %

Explanation:

a)

Since the jack is 100% efficient, all the input work is converted into output work. So we can write:

W_{in} = W_{out}\\F_{in} d_{in} = F_{out} d_{out}

where:

F_{in} is the input force applied on the jack

d_{in} is the arm of the input force

F_{out} is the output force applied on the jack

d_{out} is the arm of the output force

Here we have:

F_{out}=\frac{mg}{2}= \frac{(1200 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)}{2}=5880 N is the output force (half the weight of the car)

d_{in} = 40.0 cm = 0.40 m is the arm of the input force

d_{out} = 5.0 mm = 0.005 m is the arm of the output force

Solving for F_{in}, we find the force that must be applied in input to lift the car:

F_{in} = \frac{F_{out}d_{out}}{d_{in}}=\frac{(5880)(0.005)}{0.40}=73.5 N

b)

The efficiency of the jack is given by the ratio between the output work and the input work:

\eta = \frac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}=\frac{F_{out}d_{out}}{F_{in}d_{in}}

where we have:

F_{out}=5880 N is the output force (half the weight of the car)

d_{in} = 40.0 cm = 0.40 m is the arm of the input force

d_{out} = 5.0 mm = 0.005 m is the arm of the output force

Here we are told that the input force this time is

F_{in}=90.0N

Substituting into the equation, we find the new efficiency of the jack:

\eta = \frac{(5880)(0.005)}{(90.0)(0.40)}=0.82

Which means an efficiency of 82%.

What is the period of a pendulum that takes 3 seconds to move forward, and another 3 seconds to come back?
Serga [27]

The period of the pendulum is 6 seconds.

<h3>What is period?</h3>

Period is the time taken for a simple pendulum to move to(forward) and fro(backward). The s.i unit of period is seconds(s).

Note: When a simple pendulum moves to and fro. it completes one cycle.

From the question, The period of the pendulum is calculated using the formula below.

<h3>Formula</h3>
  • T = a+b.............. Equation 1

Where:

  • T = Period of the pendulum
  • a = Time taken for the pendulum to move forward
  • b = Time taken for the pendulum to move backward.

From the question,

Given:

  • a = 3 seconds
  • b = seconds

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • T = 3+3
  • T = 6 seconds.

Hence, The period of the pendulum is 6 seconds.
