Why does The human population continue to grow exponentially

2 answers:

6 0

Global human population growth is around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. Globally, the growth rate of the human population has been declining since 1962 and 1963, when it was 2.20% per annum. In 2009, the estimated annual growth rate was 1.1%. The CIA World Factbook gives the world annual birthrate, mortality rate, and growth rate as 1.89%, 0.79%, and 1.096% respectively. The last 100 years have seen a rapid increase in population due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural productivity.

Hello!

The human population is increasing so much because the death rate has gown down. The farther we go, the more technology we have available. Which in turn helps people live. So rapid birth rates and decreasing death rate is causing the rate to grow.

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure

klasskru [66]

Answer:

$3x_0$

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

$d=v_x t$

where

$v_x$ is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

$d=v_0 t = x_0$

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

$v_x' = 3v_0$

And so the new distance travelled will be

$d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0$

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.

Consider two massless springs connected in parallel. Springs 1 and 2 have spring constants k1 and k2 and are connected via a thi

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

k1 + k2

Explanation:

Spring 1 has spring constant k1

Spring 2 has spring constant k2

After being applied by the same force, it is clearly mentioned that spring are extended by the same amount i.e. extension of spring 1 is equal to extension of spring 2.

x1 = x2

Since the force exerted to each spring might be different, let's assume F1 for spring 1 and F2 for spring 2. Hence the equations of spring constant for both springs are

k1 = F1/x -> F1 =k1*x

k2 = F2/x -> F2 =k2*x

While F = F1 + F2

Substitute equation of F1 and F2 into the equation of sum of forces

F = F1 + F2

F = k1*x + k2*x

= x(k1 + k2)

Note that this is applicable because both spring have the same extension of x (I repeat, EXTENTION, not length of the spring)

Considering the general equation of spring forces (Hooke's Law) F = kx,

The effective spring constant for the system is k1 + k2

According to Bernoulli's fluid formula a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure b An increase in the speed wi

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure

Explanation:

Bernoulli's fluid formula

$P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2$

where

P = Pressure

ρ = Density of fluid

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity of fluid

If there is no change in height then we get

$P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\Rightarrow P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2=constant$

According to the Bernoulli's principle when the speed of the fluid is larger in a region of streamline flow the pressure is smaller in that region. From the above equation it can be seen that increase in speed should simultaneously reduce pressure in order for their sum to be constant.

A block of mass m = 4.8 kg slides from left to right across a frictionless surface with a speed Vi=7.3m/s. It collides with a bl

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the 11.5kg block after the collision is V≅4.1 m/s

Explanation:

ma= 4.8 kg

va1= 7.3 m/s

va2= - 2.5 m/s

mb= 11.5 kg

vb1= 0 m/s

vb2= ?

vb2= ( ma*va1 - ma*va2) / mb

vb2= 4.09 m/s ≅ 4.1 m/s
