16. 1

17. 2

18. 2

Explanation:

15. Consumers in the food chain are ranked according to what they eat. More specifically , they are organised into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers, depending upon what they consume for food. Primary consumers eat mostly plants, and are usually herbivores, tertiary consumers are top predators in the food chain.

16. Decomposers break down dead animals and plants. They are usually bacteria or other small fungi. They play the important role of recycling nutrients from dead matter back into the land. E.g. back into the soil where nutrients can be taken up by plants

17. Food webs are usually extremely complex in nature, with a variety of interactions of different organisms that are of different strengths and importance for the entire food web. Food webs are a good conceptual analysis, but practically are not simple to draw up into a simple web

18. The incorrect statement is that energy travels in both directions in a food web. Energy travel in a food web can be represented in a pyramid, which shows that energy at the bottom of the pyramid is greater than at the top. Energy is lost at every layer of the pyramid from producers up to the tertiary consumers at the top

You are retrieving your boat from the water. as a courtesy to others, when should you pull your boat into a launch lane?

OLga [1]

The best way to pull the boat in the launch lane is when the towing vehicle has reached the boat ramp as well as the trailer. It is best to retrieve the boat in this manner for it is more appropriate, convenient and it is a way of showing courtesy towards others because it is a proper manner.

A rock of mass 200 g is attached to a 0.75 m long string and swung in a vertical plane.

Ainat [17]

Hello!

a) Assuming this is asking for the minimum speed for the rock to make the full circle, we must find the minimum speed necessary for the rock to continue moving in a circular path when it's at the top of the circle.

At the top of the circle, we have:

- Force of gravity (downward)

*Although the rock is still connected to the string, if the rock is swinging at the minimum speed required, there will be no tension in the string.

Therefore, only the force of gravity produces the net centripetal force:

$\Sigma F = F_g\\\\F_c = F_g\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = mg$

We can simplify and rearrange the equation to solve for 'v'.

$\frac{v^2}{r} = g\\\\v^2 = gr\\\\v = \sqrt{gr}$

Plugging in values:

$v = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.75} = \boxed{2.711 m/s^}$

b)
Let's do a summation of forces at the bottom of the swing. We have:
- Force due to gravity (downward, -)

- Tension force (upward, +)

The sum of these forces produces a centripetal force, upward (+).

$\Sigma F = T - F_g\\\\F_c = T - F_g\\\\\frac{mv^2}{r} = T - mg$

Rearranging for 'T":
$T = \frac{mv^2}{r} + mg\\\\$

Plugging in the appropriate values:
$T = \frac{(0.2)(2.711^2)}{(0.75)} + 0.2(9.8) = \boxed{3.92 N}$

How long does it take for a spaceship to get to the moon.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

about 3 days

It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.
