3 0

Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by strong intermolecular bonds, but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore, there are different measurements of hardness: scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.

Which of the following statements provides the best scientific evidence that chimpanzees and rhesus monkeys come from a common a

borishaifa [10]

Only the last one provides an actual evidence of having a common ancestor. The rest can be a result of living in a similar environments that makes life easier. For example, many species live next to water, as water provides more fertile ground for plants, and they might have similar behaviors (searching for water) but they might not be closely related.

so the correct answer is D.

Which of the following is not an example of an abiotic factor?

brilliants [131]

Since we can't see your choices we can only do so much to help you unfortunately. However, the word abiotic means non living. So if it's saying which is NOT an example of an abiotic factor, then your answer would be the choice that has to do with living. For example, plants, animals, etc.

Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?

nataly862011 [7]

A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.

Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.

I hope this helps, Regards.
