Why do the dark-colored mice living on lava flows have white underbellies? The mice’s underbellies are white because there’s so selective pressure for it to be dark; the predators come from above. The differences in mouse fur color are driven by natural selection. Why do the pocket mice in the dark lava environment have white […]

What is the stopping distance of a car?
What is the stopping distance of a car? Virtually all current production vehicles’ published road braking performance tests indicate stopping distances from 60 mph that are typically 120 to 140 feet, slightly less than half of the projected safety distances. How does speed affect reaction distance? As a vehicle’s speed increases, so does the distance […]
