Which of the following best describes the relationship between variations and adaptations? (AKS 4a, DOK 2) A. Variations result from adaptations organisms make to the environment. B. All adaptations are variations, and all variations help organisms survive. C. All variations are adaptations, but not all adaptations come from variations. D. Adaptations result from variations only if they help organisms survive.

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

A1000-kg weather rocket is launched straight up. the rocket motor provides a constant acceleration for 16-s, then the motor stops. the rocket altitude 20-s after launch is 510-m. you can ignore any effects of air resistance. a. what was the rocket’s acceleration during the first 16-s? b. what is the rocket’s speed as it passes through a cloud 5100-m above the ground?

Total solidification times of three casting geometries are to be compared: a sphere, a cylinder, in which the length-to-diameter ration - 1.0, and a cube. volume = 1000 cm^3 for all three shhapes, and the same casting alloy is used. a) determine the solidification times of each geometry b) based on the results of part (a), which geometric element would make the best riser? c) if the mold constant = 3.5 min/cm^2 in chvorinov's rule, compute the total solidification time for each casting.
