Answer:

Explanation:

The amplitude of resultant wave as the result of  overlap of two waves depends upon the phase difference between the two.  If the waves meet crest to trough , the phase difference is 180 degree or they are in opposite phase . Hence they will destroy each other . The amplitude of resultant wave can be obtained by subtracting the amplitudes of two waves. They will interfere destructively.

Amplitude of resultant gives waves = 4.6 - 2 = 2.6 cm.

Zina [86]

Years of research have demonstrated that rats are intelligent creatures who experience pain and pleasure, care about one another, are able to read the emotions of others, and would assist other rats, even at their own expense.

<h3>Experiments:</h3>

In trials carried out at Brown University in the 1950s, rats were trained to press a lever for food, but they stopped pressing the lever when they noticed that with each press, a rat in an adjacent cage would scream in pain (after experiencing an electric shock).

Rats were trained to press a lever to lower a block that was hanging from a hoist by electric shocks administered by experimenters. A rat was subsequently hoisted into a harness by the experimenters, and according to their notes, "This animal normally shrieked and wriggled sufficiently while dangling, and if it did not, it was jabbed with a sharp pencil until it exhibited indications of discomfort." Even if it wasn't in danger of receiving a shock, a rat watching the scenario from the floor would pull a lever to lower the hapless rodent to safety.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

Which of these surface features are formed because of the heating of groundwater?
Tju [1.3M]
The correct option is C.
Hot springs and geysers are formed as a result of been heated up by heat from the interior of the earth. This type of heat is called geothermal heat. A hot spring refers to a spring that is produced as a result of geothermally heated water. Hot springs usually have very high temperature. Geysers is a form of hot spring and it refers to a pool of water that has seeped through a opening in the earth surface.

Earthquake damage causes two rabbits to be separated from the rest of the rabbits in their large habitat. They have no way to ge
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

<em>A.The rabbits in the new habitat will have lower genetic variation than the rabbits in the original habitat. </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

If two animals of opposite sex are isolated from a larger group of animal, and made to reproduce. They will produce offspring with similar genetic makeup. If this offspring still remain isolated, and continue to interbreed within themselves for a number of consecutive generations, their offspring will all be very closely related genetically. Situations like this just as with the two rabbits in the question leads to a lower genetic variation within the offspring of the two animals.

Animals need to reproduce within a larger group in order to increase genetic variation. Increasing genetic variation reduces the risk of been sucked into a gene pool. A lower genetic variation reduces the fitness of the animals involved. It is only an advantage in cases in which the the original pair are resistant to a deadly disease. In this case all the offspring also develop this immunity. Mostly the effects of a lower genetic variation leaves negative impacts, and animals try to avoid this by preferring to interbreed with unrelated partner
