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

<span>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.</span>

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0   ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t   ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt=  6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

==>

Define static electricity and ohms law​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Static electricity : is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another

Ohm's law : states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance

A velocity selector in a mass spectrometer uses an electric field of 4.4 x 105 V/m. What magnetic field strength (in Tesla) is n
Brut [27]

Answer:

  B = 9.16 10⁻²  T

Explanation:

The speed selector is a configuration where the electric and magnetic force has the opposite direction, which for a specific speed cancel

       q v B = q E

       v = E / B

       B = E / v

Let's calculate

      B = 4.4 10⁵ / 4.8 10⁶

      B = 9.16 10⁻²  T

QUESTION 23
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

E = 3600 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage, V = 115 V

Power of electric bulb, P = 60 W

We need to find the electric energy used in 1 minute. The electric energy use is given by :

E=P\times t\\\\E=60\ W\times 60\ s\\\\E = 3600\ J

Hence, the electrical energy is 3600 J.
