Answer:

Producers

Consumers

Decomposers

Explanation:

The three categories in which every living thing in a forest ecosystem can be sorted into are producers, consumers and decomposers.

The producers as the name implies manufactures food for the whole of the ecosystem. They take inorganic materials from the environment and convert them into useful food materials. All plants are producers and some micro-organisms.

Animals are consumers and they take up the produced food for their own nourishment and life activities.

Decomposers recycles materials in the ecosystem by converting wastes generated by producers and consumers into useful products that returns to the atmosphere or replenishes soil nutrients.

Car A has a mass of 1,200 kg and is traveling at a rate of 22 km/hr. It collides with car B. Car B has a mass of 1,900 kg and is

anastassius [24]

The car A has a mass of 1200 kg.

The car B has the mass of 1900 kg.

It is given that velocity of car A is given as 22 Km/hr

The car B has the velocity of 25 Km/hr.

Let the mass of two bodies are denoted as $m_{1} \ and\ m_{2}$

Let the velocity of cars A and B are denoted as $v_{1} \ and\ v_{2}$

The momentum before collision is-

$p_{i} =m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2} v_{2}$

[Here p stand for momentum.]

We are asked to calculate the final momentum of the system after collision.

The answer of the question is based law of conservation of linear momentum.

As per law of conservation of linear momentum the sum total linear momentum for an isolated system is always constant.Hence irrespective of the type of collision[elastic and inelastic],the momentum of the system is always constant which is a universal truth.

Let after the collision the velocity of A and B are $v'_{1} \ and\ v'_{2}$

Hence the final momentum of the system is-

$p_{f} = m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}$

As per the law of conservation of linear momentum, the initial and final momentum must be equal i.e

$p_{i} =p_{f}$

$m_{1} v_{1} +m_{2}v_{2} =m_{1} v'_{1} +m_{2} v'_{2}$

Hence the option A is right.

A brick lands 10.1 m from the base of a building. If it was given an initial velocity of 8.6 m/s [61º above the horizontal], how

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: 10.52m</h2><h2 />

First, we have to establish the <u>reference system</u>. Let's assume that the building is on the negative y-axis and that the brick was thrown at the origin (see figure attached).

According to this, the initial velocity $V_{o}$ has two components, because the brick was thrown at an angle $\alpha=61\º$ :

$V_{ox}=V_{o}cos\alpha$ (1)

$V_{ox}=8.6\frac{m}{s}cos(61\º)=4.169\frac{m}{s}$ (2)

$V_{oy}=V_{o}sin\alpha$ (3)

$V_{oy}=8.6\frac{m}{s}sin(61\º)=7.521\frac{m}{s}$ (4)

As this is a projectile motion, we have two principal equations related:

$X=V_{ox}.t$ (5)

Where:

$X=10.1m$ is the distance where the brick landed

$t$ is the time in seconds

If we already know $X$ and $V_{ox}$ , we have to find the time (we will need it for the following equation):

$t= \frac{X}{ V_{ox}}$ (6)

$t=2.42s$ (7)

$-y=V_{oy}.t+\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}$ (8)

Where:

$y$ is the height of the building (<u>in this case it has a negative sign because of the reference system we chose)</u>

$g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Substituting the known values, including the time we found on equation (7) in equation (8), we will find the height of the building:

$-y=(7.521\frac{m}{s})(2.42s)+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}).(2.42s)^{2}$ (9)

$-y=-10.52m$ (10)

Multiplying by -1 each side of the equation:

$y=10.52m$ >>>>This is the height of the building

Calculate the force generated by a car that hits the wall at an

Makovka662 [10]

This is a defective question. It was WRITTEN by someone who is unclear on the concepts. DON'T try and answer it.

It's trying to get us to use Newton's second law ... F = m • a.

But that only tells us how much force must act ON THE CAR in order to accelerate it. (45 kg) • (4 m/s^2) = 180 newtons.

This is NOT the force exerted BY the car when it hits something. THAT force depends on its speed WHEN it hits, AND how long it takes for the wreckage to actually come to rest, AND how hard or soft the wall is.

DON'T try to answer this question. Your answer will be wrong, you won't understand why, and the teacher you try to argue with probably won't either.

============================================

More explanation:

Think about jumping off of a ladder in your back yard. Several times.

Your mass is the same every time. Your acceleration is the same every time . . . 9.8 m/s² down, the acceleration of Earth gravity, every time.

BUT ...

-- I'll bet you would rather land on wood than on concrete. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on dirt than on wood. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on grass than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a pile of blankets than on dirt. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather land on a trampoline than on a pile of blankets. The force of landing would be less.

-- I'll bet you would rather jump from a short ladder than from a tall one. Your speed would be less when you landed, and the force of landing would be less.

==> Your mass is the SAME every time, and your acceleration is the SAME every time. But the force when you hit is DIFFERENT every time.

The mass and acceleration of the car DON'T tell us the force of the hit when the car hits a wall.

Which statement is true about the element shown here? A) This element tends to gain electrons to become stable. B) This element

cestrela7 [59]

ITS C

This element tends to lose 2 electrons to become a 2+ ion, is the correct statement regarding the element calcium. Calcium has 2 electrons in its outer shell and it is easier to lose them than it is to gain enough to become stable. When stable it has 2 more protons than electrons forming a 2+ ion.
