All of the following statements regarding the German attack on the Lusitania are true EXCEPT it

An object moves with constant acceleration along the +x-axis. The position versus time graph is shown in the figure. t2=0.8 s, x1=12 m, and x2=35 m. If the velocity of the object is 3 m/s at t = 0, determine the acceleration of the object in m/s2.

An optimal time to use imagery is:

If the tallest and shortest individuals of a population of humans do not survive and reproduce as well as the individuals of “average” height, which type of selection would most likely result? 

In a very small population of birds, assume 5 out of 20 alleles are the type that codes for blue feathers. What is the allele frequency of the “blue feather allele” in this population?

The figure shows a position-time graph of an object moving along x-axis. t2=2 s, t3=4 s, x1=10 m, x2=18 m, x3=32 m.  What is the velocity of the object from time t2 to t3. Express your answer in m/s. Note that velocity can be negative or positive.

Which trait provides a survival advantage?
