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 playground merry-go-round of radius R = 1.40 m has a moment of inertia I = 265 kg · m2 and is rotating at 11.0 rev/min about a

Answer:

The value of new value of angular speed of merry go round. $\omega_{2}$ = 0.96 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

Explanation:

Given data

r = 1.4 m

Moment of inertia $I_{1}$ = 265 kg - $m^{2}$

$N_{1} =$ 11 RPM

$\omega_{1} = \frac{2 \pi N}{60}$

$\omega_{1} = \frac{2 \pi (11)}{60}$

$\omega_{1}$ = 1.15 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

From conservation of momentum principal

$I_{1} \omega_{1} = I_{2} \omega_{2}$ ------- (1)

$I_{2} = m r^{2} + 265$

$I_{2} = 27 (1.4)^{2} + 265$

$I_{2} = 317.92 \ kg m^{2}$

Put all the values in equation (1)

265 × 1.15 = 317.92 × $\omega_{2}$

$\omega_{2}$ = 0.96 $\frac{rad}{sec}$

This is the value of new value of angular speed of merry go round.

A 10.0 cm object is 5.0 cm from a concave mirror that has a focal length of 12 cm. What is the distance between the image and th

fiasKO [112]

Let's use the mirror equation to solve the problem:
$\frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{d_o}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
where f is the focal length of the mirror, $d_o$ the distance of the object from the mirror, and $d_i$ the distance of the image from the mirror.
For a concave mirror, for the sign convention f is considered to be positive. So we can solve the equation for $d_i$ by using the numbers given in the text of the problem:
$\frac{1}{12 cm}= \frac{1}{5 cm}+ \frac{1}{d_i}$
$\frac{1}{d_i}= -\frac{7}{60 cm}$
$d_i = -8.6 cm$
Where the negative sign means that the image is virtual, so it is located behind the mirror, at 8.6 cm from the center of the mirror.

Answer:

T = 60 s

Explanation:

There are 6 poles on the track which are equally spaced

so the angular separation between the poles is given as
