Correct answer is Availability of soil minerals.

There are two types of limiting factors that affect plant population in a ecosystem. They are:

Biotic
Abiotic

Biotic factors includes food, diseases etc. Such as Invasive weed species, seed dispersal by wind, disease-causing fungal spores are examples of biotic limiting factor.

Abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature and chemical environment. The availability of soil mineral is an example of abiotic limiting factor. Growth of plant population depends on availability of soil minerals.

A 100-lb child stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. What does the scale read while the elevator slows to stop at the l

Lelechka [254]

Answer: A 100-lb child stands on a scale while riding in an elevator. Then, the scale reading approaches to 100lb, while the elevator slows to stop at the lowest floor

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we need to know more about the apparent weight of a body in a lift.

<h3>What is the apparent weight of a body in a lift?</h3>

Consider a body of mass m kept on a weighing machine in a lift.
The readings on the machine is the force exerted by the body on the machine(action), which is equal to the force exerted by the machine on the body(reaction).
The reaction we get as the weight recorded by the machine, and it is called the apparent weight.

<h3>How to solve the question?</h3>

Here we have given with the actual weight of the body as 100lbs.
This 100lb child is standing on the scale or the weighing machine, when it is riding .
During this condition, the acceleration of the lift is towards downward, and thus, a force of ma .
There is also<em> mg </em>downwards and a normal reaction in the upward direction.
when we equate both the upward force and downward force, we get,

$ma=mg-N\\N=mg-ma$ i.e. during riding the scale reads a weight less than that of actual weight.

When the lift goes slow and stops the lowest floor, then the acceleration will be approaches to zero.

Thus, from the above explanation, it is clear that ,when the elevator moves to the lowest floor slowly and stops, then the apparent weight will become the actual weight.

You do 45.0 joules of work and 3.00 seconds how much power do you use

Arada [10]

Answer:

15 watt

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

This means you divide the work done with the amount of time used to perform the work.

The formula for Power is : P = W/t where;

W= work done in J = 45

t= time in seconds = 3 sec

P= 45/ 3 = 15 watt

) Suppose a particle travels along a straight line with velocity v(t) = t 2 e −3t meters per second after t seconds. How far doe

pshichka [43]

Answer:

x(t=3s) = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

v(t) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

Find displacement after t = 3 s.

Recall, velocity, v = (dx/dt)

v = (dx/dt) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

dx = t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

∫ dx = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

This integration will be done using the integration by parts method.

Integration by parts is done this way...

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Comparing ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt to ∫ u dv

u = t²

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

u = t²

(du/dt) = 2t

du = 2t dt

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

v = (-e⁻³ᵗ/3)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) 2t dt

= (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

But the integral (∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt) is another integration by parts problem.

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

u = 2t

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

u = 2t

(du/dt) = 2

du = 2 dt

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

v = (e⁻³ᵗ/9)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - ∫ 2 (e⁻³ᵗ/9) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)

Putting this back into the main integration by parts equation

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - [2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)]

x(t) = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k (k = constant of integration)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k

At t = 0 s, v(0) = 0, hence, x(0) = 0

0 = 0 - 0 - (2/27) + k

k = (2/27)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + (2/27)

At t = 3 s

x(3) = (-9e⁻⁹/3) - (6e⁻⁹/9) - (2e⁻⁹/27) + (2/27)

x(3) = -0.0003702294 - 0.0000822732 - 0.0000091415 + 0.0740740741 = 0.07361243 m = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth.

a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.
