2 -An invasive species is a species that is not native to a specific location (an introduced species), and that has a tendency to spread to a degree believed to cause damage to the environment, human economy or human health.[2]
The term as most often used applies to introduced species that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, or ecologically. Such species may be either plants or animals and may disrupt by dominating a region, wilderness areas, particular habitats, or wildland–urban interface land from loss of natural controls (such as predators or herbivores). This includes plant species labeled as exotic pest plants and invasive exotics growing in native plant communities.[3][4][5][6] The European Union defines "Invasive Alien Species" as those that are, firstly, outside their natural distribution area, and secondly, threaten biological diversity.[7][8] The term is also used by land managers, botanists, researchers, horticulturalists, conservationists, and the public for noxious weeds.[9]
Answer:
72 joules
Explanation:
The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.
since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)
therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy
mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.
A mixed cost contains a variable element and a fixed element.
Option a
<u>Explanation:</u>
Mixed costs are those costs that has both variable and fixed component. Example: operating cost of a machinery includes fixed costs that cannot be changed with other variable costs like fuel, insurance, depreciation, etc.
It is also named as semi-variable costs. And the formula to calculate mixed cost is as follows,
where,
- y is the "total cost
"
- a is the "fixed cost per period"
- b is the "variable rate per unit of activity"
- x is the "number of units of activity"
We have volume of gasoline = 14.0 gallon
Time taken to fill automobile tank = 1.50 minutes
So volume rate = 14.0 gallon/1.50 minutes = 9.33 gallon/ minute
We have density of gasoline = 0.77 kg/L = 6.073 lb/US gal
Mass rate = Density * Volume rate
= 9.33 gallon/ minute*6.073 lb/US gal = 56.68 lb/min
So mass flow rate delivered by the gasoline pump in lbm/min = 56.68
One well-known application of density is determining whether or not an object will float on water. If the object's density is less than the density of water, it will float; if its density is less than that of water, it will sink.In fact, submarines dive below the surface of the water by emptying their ballast tanks
