What is the relationship between the size of a predator population and the size of a prey population

1 answer:

3 0

Let's put it this way. Say you have a killer-whale and a penguin. Killer-whales are major predators to penguins. Now, say the killer-whale population increases. The penguins would be eaten more by the killer-whales, then causing a population decrease for the penguins. If the population decreases, they're won't be enough penguins, and they most likely will become extinct, as well as causing a population decrease for the killer-whales as well. Whereas, vis versa, they're were a killer-whale population decrease. The penguins would be less hunted, therefore, creating a population increase for the penguins.

a surface recieving sound is moved from it original position to a position three times farther away from the source of the sound

Delicious77 [7]

Sound intensity = 1/(r^2)

That is Sound intensity is indirectly proportional to the distance. Therefore, sound becomes 9 times less intense.

A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position

Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is 6.4 m.

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

$v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}$

Write an equation for x.

$dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt$

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

$x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C$

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

$x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m$

Substitute 2.0s for t.

$x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m$

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is 6.4m

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

the speed of the center of mass stays the same

Explanation:

In a system with no energy loss, momentum is conserved if the mass remains constant. The system described has no change in mass, and energy loss is considered negligible. Hence the product of the total mass and the velocity of its center will be a constant. The center of mass stays the same speed.

Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

Strike441 [17]

Answer: Why does the cord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does? The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
