Answer:

a=4\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a body, u = 0

Final speed of the body, v = 20 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the body. We know that the acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity divided by time taken. So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{20-0}{5}\\\\a=4\ m/s^2

So, the body's acceleration is equal to 4\ m/s^2.

Three resistors, of 100, 200, and 300 ohms are connected in parallel. What is their equivalent resistance?
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Equivalent resistanfe in parallel (R):

1/R = 1/100 + 1/200 + 1/300

1/R = (6 + 3 + 2)/600

1/R = 11/600

R = 600/11 = 54.55 ohms

Each element has an atomic number state which is meant by atomic number
netineya [11]

Answer: The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, and isotopes have the same atomic number but differ in the number of neutrons. The number of protons in an atom is called its atomic number. This number is very important because it is unique for atoms of a given element. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons, and every element has a different number of protons in its atoms.

Larger animals have sturdier bones than smaller animals. A mouse's skeleton is only a few percent of its body weight, compared t
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

a_s=4.8\times  10^{-2}~m^2

Explanation:

Given:

cross sectional area of the bone, a=4.8 \times 10^{-4} ~m^2

factor of up-scaling the dimensions, s=10

Since we need to find the upscaled area having two degrees of the dimension therefore the scaling factor gets squared for the area being it in 2-dimensions.

The scaled up area is:

a_s=a\times s^2

a_s=[4.8 \times 10^{-4}]\times 10^2

a_s=4.8\times  10^{-2}~m^2

Gwen is researching the effects of a small asteroid impact in an area that has started to regrow after being hit ten years ago.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.  

Explanation:

Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.

Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.

In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.
