The law of conservation of mass is important in ecology because _________.

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:Sample Response: The law of conservation of mass states that the total amount of mass remains constant in a system. In ecology, this means that when an organism is eaten, its mass is conserved. Some of the organism’s mass is used to make new proteins, and some of it is passed as waste in the form of urine or feces. The rest is converted directly into energy. This energy helps the consumer to move and grow, and it helps it to build and repair new tissue.

The upward force exerted on an object falling through air is _____.

stira [4]

(C) Air Resistance

<u>Explanation:</u>

When an object falls through air, air resistance acts on it in upward direction. When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l = 4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s$

Let $\omega$ is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s$

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.

During which stage does the birth rate begin to decline?

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

During stage 3 - late expanding (of demogrpahic transition model)

Explanation:

During stage 3, birth rate begins to decline as infant mortality is lower and women have more access to education, family planning, and contraceptives. Children are not needed as "free labor" as they might have been in earlier stages.
