dN/dT = rK (K-N)/K

Here, K is carrying capacity

N = Population size

r = Intrinsic rate

dN/dT = 0.8*250 (1500-250)/1500

dN/dT = 166.66 that is equivalent to 167 animal in a year

Thus, in 2015, there would be 250 individuals and in 2016, there would be 260+167 = 417 animals.

I need an hypothisis on How does temperature change affect surface tension?
Dafna1 [17]

Hypothesis: I believe an increase in temperature would lead to a decrease in surface tension.

Here's why: As the temperature increases, the molecular interaction between the liquids molecules becomes weaker because the hydrogen bond is the main factor for association between two molecules. It is a very weak bond to begin with, so when the temperature increases, it just further weakens it.
