Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>

Answer:

d. 20000

Explanation:

It has been observed that over the years, species have been going extinct due to human reasons such as excessive hunting, environmental factors such as natural disasters, global warming and also due to changes in their genetic makeup or a reduced reproduction.

It has been estimated that every year 20,000 species are going extinct.

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be 372.77 m/s

<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>

It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.

For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula

V= √F/μ

where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string

F is the tension in the string of piano

μ is the mass per unit length of the string

As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.

The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be

μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)

μ = 0.0041739 kg/m

By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity

V= √F/μ

V=√(580/0.0041739)

V = 372.77 m/s

Thus, the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be 372.77 m/s

On the asteroid Cere, the acceleration due to gravity is about 0.27 m/s^2. How long would it take a ball to fall to the ground i

KiRa [710]

Answer:

F. 25.82 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 90 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.27 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

90 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.27 m/s²) t²

t = 25.82 s

AM radio signals have frequencies between 550 kHz and 1600 kHz (kilohertz) and travel with a speed of 3.0Ã108m/s. What are the w

Westkost [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m
