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.

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Mars on a 80 kg human standing on the surface of Mars. (The ma
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

a) F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c) F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d) Treat the humans as though they were points or uniform-density spheres.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of Mars, M=6.4\times 10^{23}\ kg
  • radius of the Mars, r=3.4\times 10^{6}\ m
  • mass of human, m=80\ kg

a)

Gravitation force exerted by the Mars on the human body:

F=G.\frac{M.m}{r^2}

where:

G=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{-2} = gravitational constant

F=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{6.4\times 10^{23}\times 80}{(3.4\times 10^{6})^2}

F=1.044\times 10^9\ N

b)

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the human on Mars is equal to the force by the Mars on human.

F'=F

F'=1.044\times 10^9\ N

c)

When a similar person of the same mass is standing at a distance of 4 meters:

F_p=6.67\times10^{-11}\times \frac{80\times 80}{4}

F_p=1.0672\times10^{-7}\ N

d)

The gravitational constant is a universal value and it remains constant in the Universe and does not depends on the size of the mass.

  • Yes, we have to treat Mars as spherically symmetric so that its center of mass is at its geometric center.
  • Yes, we also have to ignore the effect of sun, but as asked in the question we have to calculate the gravitational force only due to one body on another specific body which does not brings sun into picture of the consideration.

A bike rider pedals with constant acceleration to reach a velocity of 7.8 m/s over a time of 4.2 s. during the period of acceler
Artyom0805 [142]

To calculate the initial velocity of the bike, we use the following equation

d=\frac{1}{2} (u+v)t.

or

u=\frac{2d}{t} -v

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, t is the time and d is the distance covered by bike.

Given, u =7.8 m/s,d= 19 m and t=4.2 s.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

u = \frac{2 \times 19}{4.2 \ s} -7.8 m/s = 9.05 \ m/s - 7.8 \ m/s \\\\ u= 1.2 m/s.

Thus, the initial velocity of the bike is 1.2 m/s.

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.
Ivenika [448]
Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond. 

Hope this helps! :)

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.
