I'm probably going to have to say C. E as it seems the steepest right around there. If I'm wrong on that, it has to be B. B

Answer:

The velocity is greatest at B.

Explanation:

The velocity or instantaneous rate of change is represented on a sketch by the slope of the position curve at a point.

Analyzing the points.

The slope at points F or D have slope as 0, since we have flat tangent lines for them.

The slope for point E is negative, since the curve is decreasing.

The slope for point B is positive, since the curve is increasing at B.

Thus the greatest value of the velocity is point B due the curve is increasing at that point, and the velocity is represented by its slope.

What happened to the kelp forest when the otter was hunted to near extinction?

never [62]

Answer: Sea otter is the pioneer species in the kelp forest as it regulates and controls the population of other species in the kelp forest.

Explanation:

If sea otters are hunted and their population is brought to extinction then this will cause major harm the ecosystem of the kelp forest and it will disturb the ecological balance in the kelp forest. The herbivorous animals consumed by the sea otters will increase in population and they will consume a lot of vegetation in the forest. The kelp forest which forms the coastline will not remain effective in providing protection against the storms to the neighboring areas.

Which equation can correctly express the relation between force, acceleration, and mass?

Roman55 [17]

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{\text{a) F = m * a}}$

According to Newton's Second Law, force is calculated with the formula:

F = m × a, where:

F = force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

A purse at radius 2.30 m and a wallet at radius 3.45 m travel in uniform circular motion on the floor of a merry-go-round as the

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The acceleration of the wallet is $3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of purse r= 2.30 m

Radius of wallet r'= 3.45 m

Acceleration of the purse $a=2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j}$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the wallet

Using formula of acceleration

$a=r\omega^2$

Both the purse and wallet have same angular velocity

$\omega=\omega'$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{r}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{a'}{r'}}$

$\dfrac{a}{r}=\dfrac{a'}{r'}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{r'}{r}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3.45}{2.30}$

$\dfrac{a'}{a}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$a'=\dfrac{3}{2}\times(2\hat{i}+4.00\hat{j})$

$a'=3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

Hence, The acceleration of the wallet is $3\hat{i}+6\hat{j}$

At the nose of a missile in flight, the pressure and temperature are 5.6 atm and 850°R, respectively. Calculate the density and

Contact [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definition of the ideal gas equation, where we will clear the density variable. In turn, the specific volume is the inverse of the density, so once the first term has been completed, we will simply proceed to divide it by 1. According to the definition of 1 atmosphere, this is equivalent in the English system to

$1atm = 2116lb/ft^2$
