Herbivory (plant-eating) has evolved repeatedly in insects, typically from meat-eating or detritus-feeding ancestors (detritus is dead organic matter). Moths and butterflies, for example, eat plants. whereas their "sister group" (the insect group to which they are most closely related), the caddisfli

A woman throws a ball at a vertical wall 4.0 m away (Figure 3-40). The ball is 2.0 m above ground when it leaves the womans hand with an initial velocity of 14 m/s at 45, as shown. When the ball hits the wall, the horizontal component of its velocity is reversed; the vertical component remains uncha

Baby birds Do birds learn to time their breeding? Blue titmice eat caterpillars. The birds would like lots of caterpillars around when they have young to feed, but they must breed much earlier. Do the birds learn from one years experience when to time their breeding next year? Researchers randomly as

Segway for Information Workers The Segway Human Transporter is a self-balancing personal transportation vehicle that is clean (battery powered) and small (its footprint is 19 by 25 inches) so it can be used on sidewalks and inside buildings. Suppose the segway is introduced into a CBD, doubling the s
