Caves are a type of island ecosystem according to the theory of island biogeography. Please select the best answer from the choi

ces provided T F
Physics
1 answer:
tatuchka [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A different type of habitat exists in the caves. There exist no green plants/producers but still various life forms evolve with in the caves. The major source of nutrients with in the caves is water and intrusion of other organism that led to deposition of food in the form of debris/guano etc. These food deposits are intake by the organisms living in caves leading to start of  food cycle. This is very much similar to any other food cycle

A beam of light has a wavelength of 650 nm in vacuum. (a) What is the speed of this light in a liquid whose index of refraction
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 650 nm

Index refraction = 1.47

(a). We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

n = \dfrac{c}{v}

Where, n = refraction index

c = speed of light in vacuum

v = speed of light in medium

Put the value into the formula

1.47=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{v}

v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{1.47}

v= 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

n=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_{0}}{n}

Where, \lambda_{0} = wavelength in vacuum

\lambda = wavelength in medium

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{650\times10^{-9}}{1.47}

\lambda=442\times10^{-9}\ m

Hence, The speed of this light and wavelength in a liquid are 2.04\times10^{8}\ m/s and 442 nm.

An airplane flies 120 km at a constant altitude in a direction 30.0° north of east. a wind is blowing that results in a net hori
astraxan [27]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN 
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km 
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is 
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N 
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>

Which wave causes the medium to vibrate only in a direction not parallel to the waves motion?
Paha777 [63]

The correct answer to the question is : Transverse wave.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the longitudinal and transverse wave.

LONGITUDINAL WAVE : A longitudinal wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of compression and rarefaction.

For instance, sound wave.

TRANSVERSE WAVE : A transverse wave is a mechanical wave in which the direction of vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. It moves in the form of crests and troughs.

For instance, the wave created in a pond when a stone is dropped into it.

Hence, the correct answer of this question is transverse wave.

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg

Acceleration of the particle, a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

v = a × t

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}

\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
