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.

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

$F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

7. Two people are pushing a 40.0kg table across the floor. Person 1 pushes with a force of 490N

artcher [175]

Answer:

20.4 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

To start doing this problem, first draw a free body diagram of the table. My teacher always tells us to do this, and I find that it is very helpful. I have attached a free body diagram to this answer- take a look at it.

First, let us see if Net force = MA. To do that, we need to determine whether the object is at equilibrium horizontally. For an object to be at equilibrium, it either needs to be moving at a constant velocity or not moving at all. Also, if an object is at equilibrium, there will not be any acceleration. But we know that there IS acceleration horizontally, so it cannot be in equilibrium. If it is not in equilibrium, we can use the formula ∑F= ma.

Let us determine the net force. Since the object is moving horizontally, we can ignore the weight and normal force, because they are vertical forces. The only horizontal forces we need to worry about are the applied force and force of friction.

Applied force = 1055 N (490 + 565)

Friction force= Unknown

To find the friction force, use the kinetic friction formula, Friction = μkN

μk is the coefficient, which the problem includes- it is 0.613.

N is the normal force, which we have to find.

*To find the normal force, we have to determine if the object is at equilibrium VERTICALLY. Since it has no acceleration vertically (it's not moving up/down), it is at equilibrium. Now, when an object is at equilibrium in one direction, it means that all the forces in that direction are equal. What are our vertical forces? Weight (mg) and Normal force (N). So it means that the Normal force is equal to the Weight.

Weight = mg = (40)(9.8) = 392 N

Normal force = 392 N

Now, plug it back into the formula (μkN): (0.613)(392) = 240.296 N

Friction = 240.296 N

Now that we know the friction, we can find the horizontal net force. Just subtract the friction force, 240.296 from the applied force, 1055 N

Horizontal Net Force: 814.704 N

Now that we know the net force, plug in the numbers for the formula

∑F= ma.

814.704 = (40.0)(a)

*Divide on both sides)

a = 20.3676 m/s^2

Round it to 3 significant figures, to get:

20.4 $m/s^{2}$

A horse is trotting along pulling a sleigh through the snow. To move the 225 kg sleigh straight ahead at a constant speed, the h

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a) The net force acting on the sleigh is zero because it is moving at a constant speed.

b) $F_{fr}= \mu mg = F_{pull}$ , then $\mu = \frac{F_{pull}}{mg} = 0.0557$ .

A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in

VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy: This is the energy of a body due to position.

The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).

It can be expressed mathematically as

Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1

Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,

Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328
