Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)

during the summer months. To estimate the total population size of these insects living in a 50 square kilometer forest, biologists have sampled random trees, counting the number of eggs and larvae on each randomly selected tree. Which of these factors MOST directly impacts the accuracy of this estimate?
A)
the number of trees sampled


B)
the presence of gypsy moth predators


C)
the overall health of the gypsy moth population


D)
the weather conditions at the time of the sampling

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

What is your acceleration while sitting in your chair. the latitude of corvallis is 44.4˚.?
marta [7]
 <span>You can start with the equations you know 

a=v^2/r = (2pi*r/T)^2/r = 4pi^2r/T^2 

Radius of earth (R) = 6378.1 km 
Time in one day (T) = 86400 seconds 
Latitude = 44.4 degrees 

If you draw a circle and have the radius going out at a 44.4 degree angle above the center you can then find the r. 

r=Rcos(44.4) 
r=6378.1cos(44.4) 
r= 4556.978198 km or 4556978 m 

Now you can plug this value into the acceleration equation from above... 

a= 1.8*10^8/7.47*10^9 
a= .0241 m/s^2 </span>

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2 m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1 mm. If the charge on each plate has a magni
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

Explanation:

Given;

area of the capacitor plate, A = 0.2 m²

separation, d = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

charge on each plate, Q = 4 x 10⁻⁶ C

Charge on the capacitor is given by;

Q = CV

Where;

C is the capacitance of the capacitor, given as;

C = ε₀A / d

Then, the potential difference across the plates is given by;

V = \frac{Q}{C} = \frac{Qd}{\epsilon_o A} = \frac{(4*10^{-6})(0.1*10^{-3})}{(8.85*10^{-12})(0.2)}\\\\V = 226 \ V

Therefore, the potential difference across the plates is 226 V.

The thermosphere is characterized by a drastic increase in temperature. What is the reason for this increase? A. absorption of u
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.
