You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 7 m at your feet, then a horizontal shelf of 8 m, then another drop of 3 m to the bottom of the canyon, which has a horizontal floor. You kick a 0.87 kg rock, giving it an initial horizontal velocity that barely clears the shelf below. 1. What initial horizontal velocity v will be required to barely clear the edge of the shelf below you? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Consider air friction to be negligible. Answer in units of m/s.
2. How far from the bottom of the second cliff will the projectile land? Answer in units of m.

J. j. thomson’s experiment disproved the theory that an atom

If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased?

In the nineteenth century, gregor mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all types of life. no observations have disproved these basic rules of genetics. charles darwin developed the idea of biological evolution around the same time, but he was unaware of mendel’s discoveries in genetics. over a century later, darwin’s idea of evolution was modified in order to incorporate mendel’s rules of genetics along with the other evidence that darwin had used. what is most likely the relationship between mendel’s rules of genetics and darwin’s idea of biological evolution? a.)mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.b.)biological evolution states laws that are part of mendel’s theory of genetics.c.)mendel’s genetics replaced darwin’s entire concept of biological evolution.d.)biological evolution is a law that explains why all genetics exist.
