What are the contrast of adaptation vs natural selection?

1 answer:

6 0

The difference between adaptation and natural selection is that adaptation is the characteristic while natural selection is the mechanism that increases the probability that an advantageous characteristic is passed on and becomes commonplace.

romanna [79]

Not sure the precise concept of "normal observation", but I assume that is observed by "eyes".

Eye observation is basically macroscopic, but when you use a mark, which can be regarded as a point of mass, then it goes to microscopic.

Mark is a reference point which you can compare the relative position change, but with your eyes, first you cannot notice microscopic changes, second the eyes cannot precisely set a stable reference point.

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

Explanation:

Friction Force

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

$Fr=\mu N$ [1]

Where $\mu$ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for $\mu$ :

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}$

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}$

$\mu=0.41$

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm) is =16321.0769 N/C

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm) is =35321.58999 N/C

Explanation:

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm)?

Answer:

The electric field at any given point of the dipole is given as:

E= (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

Where:

K = 9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2 (coloumb constant)

P = (0.003) (5x10^-9c) which is the movement of the dipole

(0.003) is arrived at when mm is converted to m. 3.0 mm space apart was converted to a meter.

r= the point, in the question above is 20mm = 0.02m

Now, the electric field, E can be calculated by putting the values in the formula above:

E = (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

= (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [ (0.02m)^2 + (0.003)^2]^3/2

= 0.135 ÷ (8.271513x10^-6)

=16321.0769 N/C

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm )?

Answer:

Here, the electric field, E= 2krp ÷ (r^2 - a^2)^2

E= 2 (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.02m) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [(0.02m)^2 - (0.003)^2]^2

= 0.0054 ÷ 0.000000152881

=35321.58999 N/C
