Label the producers and consumers, then label the different types of consumers.

sdas [7]

The base of the pyramid has the producers and everything else above the base falls under the consumers category i.e the locusts,frogs and the snake. The grass is the producer, the locust is a consumer, the frog is a special type of omnivore, termed the "life-history omnivore" since they eat both plants and animals but at different times in their lives. In this case they are just omnivores and lastly, the snake is a carnivore.

The dimensions of a cylinder are changing, but the height is always equal to the diameter of the base of the cylinder. If the he

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Explanation:

Let the height of the cylinder is h

Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h

Radius of cylinder, r = h/2

dh/dt = 3 inches /s

Volume of cylinder is given by

$V = \pi r^{2}h$

put r = h/2 so,

$V = \pi \frac{h^{3}}{4}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3h^{2}}{4}\times \frac{dh}{dt}$

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{3\times 2\times 2}{4}\times 3$

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second

Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?

GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$
