Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified

Physics
1 answer:
Alecsey [184]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main  cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

 Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.

A boat of mass 225 kg drifts along a river at a speed of 21 m/s to the west. what impulse is required to decrease the speed of t
zzz [600]
The impulse required to decrease the speed of the boat is equal to the variation of momentum of the boat:
J=\Delta p=m \Delta v
where
m=225 kg is the mass of the boat
\Delta v=v_f-v_i=15 m/s-21 m/s=-6 m/s is the variation of velocity of the boat
By substituting the numbers into the first equation, we find the impulse:
J=m\Delta v=(225 kg)(-6 m/s)=-1350 N s
and the negative sign means the direction of the impulse is against the direction of motion of the boat.

A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.
Vlad1618 [11]
Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer:  44.7 m/s²

The period of a satellite circling planet Nutron is observed to be 84 s when it is in a circular orbit with a radius of 8.0 x 10
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

4.3 * 10^28 kg

Explanation:

Given:

Period, T = 84s

Radius of satellite orbit, r = 8*10^6

Using the relation :

M = 4π²r³ / GT²

Where G = Gravitational constant, 6.67 * 10^-11

M = 4*π^2*(8*10^6)^3 / 6.67 * 10^-11 * 84^2

M = (20218.191872 * 10^18) / 47063.52 * 10^-11

M = 0.4295937 * 10^18 - (-11)

M = 0.4295937 * 10^29

M = 4.295937 * 10^28 kg

M = 4.3 * 10^28 kg

Mass of planet Nutron = 4.3 * 10^28 kg
