Possible reasons why seascorpions went extinct

1 answer:

5 0

Sea scorpions or Eurypterids lived about 251.9 million years ago. They were formidable predators and hunters, but they were wiped out in the Great Permian Mass Extinction, which is also known as the Great Dying (96% of all species on Earth went extinct).The largest species like Jaekelopterus was over 7 feet long! They were mainly thought to go extinct because of a slew of natural disasters that occurred when a comet hit the Earth, as well as increased volcanic activity polluting the seas that Sea scorpions lived in, as well as rising sea temperatures. The Silurian, when these Sea scorpions proliferated was when the water was cooler, holding in more nutrients, allowing both Sea Scorpions and other animals to spread all over the world. But as the oceans became polluted from the volcanoes (and the ash they produced) and the global ocean temperatures began to rise, many animals may not have been able to cope or adapt to the extreme change, becoming helpless in their nutrient deficient water (compared to what they were used to).

I hope this helps!

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in

beks73 [17]

Answer:

a. the force between them quadruples

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the charges on both objects are doubled, so

$q_1' = 2q_1\\q_2' = 2q_2$

While the distance does not change, so the new force will be

$F'= k \frac{(2q_1)(2q_2)}{r^2}=4 (k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=4 F$

so, the force will quadruple.

2) [25 pts] The bob of mass m=5 kg shown in the figure is being held by a force F. If the angle is 0⃗

Colt1911 [192]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The tension is $T = 48.255 \ N$

The time taken is $t = 0.226 \ s$

The position for maximum velocity is

S = 0

The maximum velocity is $V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s$

Explanation:

The free body for this question is shown on the second uploaded image

From the question we are told that

The mass of the bob is $m_b = 5 \ kg$

The angle is $\theta = 10^o$

The length of the string is $L = 0.5 \ m$

The tension on the string is mathematically represented as

$T = mg cos \theta$

substituting values

$T = 5 * 9.8 cos(10)$

$T = 48.255 \ N$

The motion of the bob is mathematically represented as

$S = A sin (w t + \frac{\pi }{2} )$

=> $S = A sin (wt)$

Where $w$ is the angular speed

and $\frac{\pi}{2}$ is the phase change

At initial position S = 0

So $wt = cos^{-1} (0)$

$wt = 1$

Generally $w$ can be mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi }{T}$

Where T is the period of oscillation which i mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

$t = \frac{1}{w}$

$t = \frac{T}{2 \pi}$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

substituting values

$t = \sqrt{\frac{0.5}{9.8} }$

$t = 0.226 \ s$

Looking at the equation

$wt = 1$

We see that maximum velocity of the bob will be at S = 0

i. e $w = \frac{1}{t}$

The maximum velocity is mathematically represented as

$V_{max} = w A$

Where A is the amplitude which is mathematically represented as

$A = L sin \theta$

$V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{T } L sin \theta$

$V_{max} = \frac{2 \pi }{2 \pi } \sqrt{\frac{g}{L} } L sin \theta$ Recall $T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g} }$

$V_{max} = \sqrt{gL} sin \theta$

substituting values

$V_{max} = \sqrt{9.8 * 0.5 } sin (10)$

$V_{max} =0.384 \ m/s$

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair PivotCharts with PivotTables (option b)

Explanation:

Pivot Tables allows us to deal with a high volume of data. This kind of tables are mainly designed to summarize, analyze and explore data in a simple way. Meanwhile, Pivot Charts gives the possibility to visualize the summarizing data provided in PivotTables, enabling the detection of trends, correlations,comparisons and so on. Because of that Pivot tables and pivot charts are usefull and complementary tools of Excel.

Summarizing, the proper option is b.

What is the 5 quantitative research problems?<br>

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There are four main types of Quantitative research: Descriptive, Correlational, Causal-Comparative/Quasi-Experimental, and Experimental Research. attempts to establish cause- effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.

Explanation:

Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques.
