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.

How does the force of gravity affect the rate of acceleration?
Vesnalui [34]
Gravity lets all objects fall to the ground at the same speed, 9.8 m/s/s. If the force of gravity were stronger, such as 10 m/s/s, the rate of acceleration would be faster.

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface. One moves at 1 m/s and the other at 2 m/s. They co
mario62 [17]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

Explanation:

Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.

Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s

Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s

They collide and stick.

We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.

Using the conservation of momentum.

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=V(m_1+m_2)

We have, m₁ = m₂ = m

m\times 1+m\times 2=(m+m)V\\\\m+2m=2m\times V\\\\3m=2mV\\\\V=\dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s

So, the speed of the combined mass is \dfrac{3}{2}\ m/s.

Item 4 Which conditions produce the smallest and largest ocean waves? Choose the two correct answers.
Darya [45]

Answer:

strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance

weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch

Explanation:

When the winds are weak and blow for short periods, we experience the smallest ocean waves but when there are strong winds over a longer duration, the largest ocean waves are seen. Therefore, the conditions to produce the smallest and largest ocean waves are strong winds that blow for a long time over a great distance and weak winds that blow for short periods of time with a short fetch.
