Answer:

During the voyage Charles Darwin explored the Galapagos islands and noticed the same species have different adaptations in places. ... Charles noticed that each species has the same ancestor but they evolve to adapt over time so they can live longer.

Which of the following is NOT an argument for showing that the Earth must be round: a. during an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow

Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The correct option is option E (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year.

Explanation:

The earth, which is one of the planets of the solar system that supports life, is shperical in shape. The spherical ( round) shape of the earth is marked by the intervening highlands and oceans on its surface.

Evidence to show that the earth is shperical are:

--> The Lunar eclipse: During an eclipse of the Moon, the shadow of the Earth is always seen to be round.

--> Ships Visibility: When ships travel a large distance away, we see their hulls disappear first and their masts disappear last.

-->Altitude of Polaris (North Star): The height of the North Star changes as we travel to different latitudes. That is ,increases as you move toward the North pole, or decreases as you move toward the equator.

--> Aerial photographs: Photographs of the Earth from space always show a round body.

The statement that doesn't prove that the earth is spherical in shape is (the Sun is seen blocking different constellations in the course of a year). The sun is seen in front of stars blocking different constellation in a year because the earth orbits round the sun in a year and not that it is shperical in shape.

A 25 kg bear slides, from rest, 12 m down a lodgepole pine tree, moving with a speed of 5.6 m/s just before hitting the ground.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

(A) -2940 J

(B) 392 J

(C) 212.33 N

Explanation:

mass of bear (m) = 25 kg

height of the pole (h) = 12 m

speed (v) = 5.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s

(A) change in gravitational potential energy (ΔU) = mg(height at the bottom- height at the top)

height at the bottom = 0

= 25 x 9.8 x (0-12) = -2940 J

(B) kinetic energy of the Bear (KE) = $0.5mv^{2}$

= $0.5 x 25 x 5.6^{2}$ = 392 J

change in KE (ΔKE) = initial KE - final KE
ΔKE = $0.5mv^{2}$ - $0.5mvf^{2}$
when the Bear reaches the bottom of the pole, the final velocity (Vf) is 0, therefore the change in kinetic energy becomes ΔKE = $0.5x25x5.6^{2}$ - 0 = 392 J

\frac{-(ΔKE+ΔU)}{h}[/tex] = $\frac{-(392 + (-2940))}{12}$

= $\frac{(-392 + 2940)}{12}$ = 212.33 N

Alfredo makes a diagram to organize his notes about charging objects.

konstantin123 [22]

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.

<h3>What is conduction?</h3>

The term conduction has to do with the manner of charging in which charge is passed from one object to another. Induction involves charging objects without the objects touching each other.

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.
