Answer:

Applied Research: It is a research conducted to find solutions for specific problems in a particular field of studies. Example, health effects on food that are genetically modified.

Basic research: It is basic research on any field to have a clear understanding of something from the existing knowledge. Example, the study on evolution of the living organisms.

Control: To increase the reliability of the result the scientific experiments decrease the number of variables (depending factors) in the experiment.

Dependent variable: This is a variable that determines the outcome of the result of an experiment depending on the independent variables. For example, stress influence the heart rate. Heart rate is a dependent variable.

Empirical evidence: It is the collection of scientific facts directly or indirectly. These facts support the scientific nature of the research. For example, measuring temperature, water freezing at a particular temperature and pressure.

Hypothesis: It is an explanation or assumption of a phenomenon based on limited empirical evidence. This is the first step of the research.

Independent variable: This is a variable that the experimenter has control to change. For example, stress influence the heart rate. Stress is an independent variable.

andriy [413]

The bottleneck event of the plants in an area results in secondary succession.

<h2>What is bottleneck event?</h2>

A bottleneck is an event that drastically reduces the population size of an organism. The bottleneck may be caused by various events, such as an environmental disaster, the hunting or habitat destruction that results in the deaths of organisms.

<h3>Secondary succession</h3>

Secondary succession is a type of ecological succession in which plants and animals recolonize a habitat after a major disturbance such as a devastating flood, wildfire, landslide, lava flow, or human activity e.g., farming or road or building construction.

A 2 kg rubber ball is thrown at a wall horizontally at 3 m/s, and bounces back the way it came at an equal speed. A 2 kg clay ba

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

THE RUBBER BALL

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the rubber ball is $m_r = 2 \ kg$

The initial speed of the rubber ball is $u = 3 \ m/s$

The final speed at which it bounces bank $v - 3 \ m/s$

The mass of the clay ball is $m_c = 2 \ kg$

The initial speed of the clay ball is $u = 3 \ m/s$

The final speed of the clay ball is $v = 0 \ m/s$

Generally Impulse is mathematically represented as

$I = \Delta p$

where $\Delta p$ is the change in the linear momentum so

$I = m(v-u)$

For the rubber is

$I_r = 2(-3 -3)$

$I_r = -12\ kg \cdot m/s$

=> $|I_r| = 12\ kg \cdot m/s$

For the clay ball

$I_c = 2(0-3)$

$I_c = -6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s$

=> $| I_c| = 6 \ kg\cdot \ m/s$

So from the above calculation the ball with the a higher magnitude of impulse is the rubber ball

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast

krok68 [10]

Answer: 1.9 m/s

Explanation:

The question should be:

If a 20 kg green fish swimming at 2 m/s swallows a 1 kg orange fish at rest, in what direction, and how fast will the green fish swim after eating the orange fish?

Ok, here we have conservation of momentum.

At the beginning, the total momentum is equal to the sum between the momentum of the green fish and the momentum of the orange fish.

Where the momentum is written as:

P = m*v

m = mass

v = velocity.

The momentum of the green fish is:

Pg = 20kg*2m/s = 40 kg*m/s.

The momentum of the orange fish is:

Po = 1kg*0m/s = 0

The total initial momentum is:

Pi = Pg + Po = 40 kg*m/s.

After the green fish eats the orange fish, we do not have an orange fish anymore, and the mass of the green fish will be equal to it's initial mass, plus the mass of the fish that it ate, this will be:

M = 20kg + 1kg = 21kg.

Then the momentum will be:

Pf = 21kg*V

Where V is the final velocity.

For conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum, then:

Pi = Pf

40 kg*m/s = 21kg*V

(40/21) m/s = 1.9 m/s = V

The fish's final velocity is 1.9 m/s
