Answer:

hyoid bone

Explanation:

Woodpeckers have a special bone that acts like a seat-belt for its skull. It's called the hyoid bone, and it wraps all the way around a woodpecker's skull. Every time the bird pecks, the hyoid acts like a seat-belt for the bird's skull and the delicate brain it protects.

A billiard ball collides with a second identical ball in an elastic head-on collision. What is the kinetic energy of the system

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, we were made to understand that the collision between the two billiard balls was an elastic collision. Hence, an elastic collision is one in which the kinetic energy is conserved. Meaning the kinetic energy before the collision is still retained after the collision.

Kinetic energy before collision = kinetic energy after collision

If Earth was with no tilt, would we still have seasons at all? If so, how would they be different?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

If earth had no tilt, we would have no seasons.

Explanation:

As stated in the answer, if the earth had no tilt we wouldn't have seasons. The earth all around the globe would maintain the same temperature,

And due to the no tilt it would also change our orbit to a bit larger slant, in January when we are at our closest to the sun we WOULD have a mini summer. For the North and South Pole, they would remain cold.

Light intensity is?

Fittoniya [83]

The correct answer is:
The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
 $I= \frac{P}{A}$
but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
 $P= \frac{E}{t}$
this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
 $I= \frac{E}{tA}$ 
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.
