The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of tropical rainforests, we need to analyze each option provided and determine which one does not belong. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Tropical Rainforests**: - Tropical rainforests are characterized by high rainfall (200 to 450 cm per year), high biodiversity, and a multi-layered canopy structure. 2. **Analyzing Option A: 30-40 m tall trees**: - Tropical rainforests typically have tall trees that can reach heights of 30 to 40 meters. This statement is true. 3. **Analyzing Option B: 4-5 strata**: - Tropical rainforests are known for their multi-layered structure, often consisting of 4 to 5 distinct strata (layers). This statement is also true. 4. **Analyzing Option C: Leaves are long needle-like**: - Needle-like leaves are characteristic of coniferous forests, which are adapted to cold climates. Tropical rainforests have broad, flat leaves that are often drip-tipped to help with water drainage. This statement is false. 5. **Analyzing Option D: Permafrost**: - Permafrost refers to permanently frozen ground, which is not found in tropical rainforests. This statement is also false. 6. **Analyzing Option E: Woody climbers and epiphytes**: - Lianas (woody climbers) and epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants) are common in tropical rainforests. This statement is true. 7. **Conclusion**: - The question asks for the characteristic that does not belong to tropical rainforests. The false statements are C (leaves are long needle-like) and D (permafrost). Therefore, the correct answer is C and D. ### Final Answer: The tropical rainforests are characterized by all of the following, except: - c. Leaves are long needle-like - d. Permafrost

A student performs an experiment to determine how the range of a ball depends on the velocity with which it is projected. The "range" is the distance between the points where the ball lends and from where it was projected, assuming it lands at the same height from which it was projected. It each trial, the student uses the same baseball, and launches it at the same angle. Table shows the experimental results. |{:("Trail","Launch speed" (m//s),"Range"(m)),(1,10,8),(2,20,31.8),(3,30,70.7),(4,40,122.5):}| Based on this data, the student then hypothesizes that the range, R, depends on the initial speed v_(0) according to the following equation : R=Cv_(0)^(n) , where C is a constant and n is another constant. The student performs another trial in which the ball is launched at speed 5.0 m//s . Its range is approximately:

Two friends A and B (each weighing 40 kg ) are sitting on a frictionless platform some distance d apart. A rolls a ball of mass 4 kg on the platform towards B which B catches. Then B rolls the ball towards A and A catches it. The ball keeps on moving back and forth between A and B . The ball has a fixed speed of 5 m//s on the platform. a. Find the speed of A after he rolls the ball for the first time. b. Find the speed of A after he catches the ball for the first time. c. Find the speed of A and B after the ball has made five round trips and is held by A . d. How many times can A roll the ball? e. Where is the centre of mass of the system A + B + ball at. the end of the nth trip?
