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:

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.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.

If your friend drops a chocolate bar to you from a height of 5.0 m above your hands,
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

<h3>1.01 s</h3>

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion S = ut+1/2gt² to solve the problem where;

u is the initial velocity of the chocolate = 0m/s

t is the time taken

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

S is the height of fall = 5.0m

Substituting the given parameter into the formula to get the time t we have;

5 = 0(t)+1/2(9.81)t²

5 = 4.905t²

t² = 5/4.905

t² = 1.019

t = √1.019

t = 1.009 secs

<em>Hence it will take 1.01 secs for me to catch the chocolate bar</em>

An object that completes 20 vibrations in 10 seconds has a frequency of
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

<em> The object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Frequency</em> is defined as number of oscillation per second ie back and forth swings done in single second.

Here it is given that the object oscillates 20 times in 10 seconds.

So f = \frac{20}{10} = 2Hz

The <em>time period</em> is defined as time taken by the object to complete one full oscillation.

T = \frac{1}{f}

T= \frac{1}{2} =0.5 s

<em>Thus the object has frequency of 2 Hz and time period of 0.5 s.</em>
