Two ways biodyversity is valuable

Biodiversity*

Without biodiversity an ecosystem is impossible and all organisms would have to rely on outside sources for energy, in our case the sun would be the only way to survive.

We also rely on biodiversity to create varying habitats, which is not actually necessary for survival but is valuable to humans since we crave identity and if everything were identical we would break down physiologically

Answer:

a. The acceleration of the hockey puck is -0.125 m/s².

b. The kinetic frictional force needed is 0.0625 N

c. The coefficient of friction between the ice and puck, is approximately 0.012755

d. The acceleration is -0.125 m/s²

The frictional force is 0.125 N

The coefficient of friction is approximately 0.012755

Explanation:

a. The given parameters are;

The mass of the hockey puck, m = 0.5 kg

The starting velocity of the hockey puck, u = 5 m/s

The distance the puck slides and slows for, s = 100 meters

The acceleration of the hockey as it slides and slows and stops, a = Constant acceleration

The velocity of the hockey puck after motion, v = 0 m/s

The acceleration of the hockey puck is obtained from the kinematic equation of motion as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

0² = 5² + 2 × a × 100

-(5²) = 2 × a × 100

-25 = 200·a

a = -25/200 = -0.125

The constant acceleration of the hockey puck, a = -0.125 m/s².

b. The kinetic frictional force, $F_k$ , required is given by the formula, F = m × a,

From which we have;

$F_k$ = 0.5 × 0.125 = 0.0625 N

The kinetic frictional force required, $F_k$ = 0.0625 N

c. The coefficient of friction between the ice and puck, $\mu_k$ , is given from the equation for the kinetic friction force as follows;

$F_k = \mu_k \times Normal \ force \ of \ hockey \ puck = \mu_k \times 0.5 \times 9.8$

$\mu_k = \dfrac{0.0625}{0.5 \times 9.8} \approx 0.012755$

The coefficient of friction between the ice and puck, $\mu_k$ ≈ 0.012755

d. When the mass of the hockey puck is 1 kg, we have;

Given that the coefficient of friction is constant, we have;

The frictional force $F_k = 0.012755 \times 1 \times 9.8 = 0.125 \ N$

The acceleration, a = $F_k$ /m = 0.125/1 = 0.125 m/s², therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration remains the same and given that the hockey puck slows, the acceleration is -0.125 m/s² as in part a

The frictional force as calculated here, $F_k = 0.125 \ N$

The coefficient of friction $\mu_k$ ≈ 0.012755 is constant

Explanation:

LC Circuit

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

$q, q_1, q_2$ = charge of the capacitor in any time $t, t_1, t_2$
