Gwen is researching the effects of a small asteroid impact in an area that has started to regrow after being hit ten years ago.

She considers the event to be a long-term change because the species of plants that were present had to start completely over from seeds after all of the plants in the area were killed by the impact. What is the error in Gwen’s thinking?

Answer:

D) This is a short-term change, not a long-term change.

Answer:

Gwen’s assumption of asteroid hit as long term change is incorrect. Asteroid hit is not a long term change, instead, it is a short term change.  

Explanation:

Examples of short term changes are drought, flood, volcanic eruption, etc. A short term change occurs quickly and can immediately affect organisms but it doesn’t become a reason for species extinction. The effects of a short term change don’t prevail over a long span of time.

Examples of long term changes are ice age, global warming, deforestation, etc. Unlike a short term change, it takes time but the consequences are far-reaching. It can lead to species extinction.

In this question, asteroid hit is a quick and unexpected hazard, unlike the slow long term environmental changes.

When a cannon is fired, how does the size of the force of the cannon on the cannonball compared with the force of the cannonball
kati45 [8]
The force applied to the cannonball and cannon is equal. The explosion inside the cannon will generate a pressure which will turn into a force on both cannonball and cannon. The cannon being heavier and fixed to the ground will move a bit, but the cannonball will be thrown away, fired.

The specialty of an athlete on the women's track team is the pole vault. She has a mass of 48 kg and her approach speed is 8.9 m
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

H = 3.9 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 48 kg

initial velocity (initial speed) (U) = 8.9 m/s

final velocity (V) = 1.6 m/s

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

find the height she raised her self to as she crosses the bar (H)

from energy conservation, the change in kinetic energy = change in potential energy

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mg(H-h)

where h = initial height = 0 since she was on the ground

the equation becomes

0.5m(V^{2} - [test]U^{2}[/tex]) = mgH

0.5 x 48 x (1.6^{2} - [test]8.9^{2}[/tex]) = 48 x 9.8 x H

-1839.6 = 470.4 H  (the negative sign indicates a decrease in kinetic energy so we would not be making use of it further)

H = 3.9 m
