The correct answer is Devonian period.

This is known to be the period of fishes which occurred 416 million years ago. It is known to be the fourth period of the Paleozoic Era. Significant events like evolution of first insects and other animals.

The Fishes evolved in the Ordovician era but the horses were found in the Devonian period only.

Suppose that the coefficient of kinetic friction between Zak's feet and the floor, while wearing socks, is 0.250. Knowing this,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The distance travel before stopping is 1.84 m

Explanation:

Given :

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu_{k} = 0.250

Zak's speed v = 3 \frac{m}{s}

Gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

Work done by frictional force is given by,

  W = \Delta K

 \mu _{k} mg d = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

  d = \frac{v^{2}  }{2 g \mu _{k} }

  d = \frac{9}{2 \times 9.8 \times 0.250}

  d = 1.84 m

Therefore, the distance travel before stopping is 1.84 m

Compare a change in temperature of 1°C to a change of 1°F.
NikAS [45]

Answer:

A change of one degree Celsius = a change of one Kelvin, but a Celsius temperature is never equal to a Kelvin temperature. A change of 1 degree Fahrenheit equals a change of 5/9 = 0.56 degrees Celsius. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?
Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
ikadub [295]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
