What happened to the kelp forest when the otter was hunted to near extinction?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Sea otter is the pioneer species in the kelp forest as it regulates and controls the population of other species in the kelp forest.

Explanation:

If sea otters are hunted and their population is brought to extinction then this will cause major harm the ecosystem of the kelp forest and it will disturb the ecological balance in the kelp forest. The herbivorous animals consumed by the sea otters will increase in population and they will consume a lot of vegetation in the forest. The kelp forest which forms the coastline will not remain effective in providing protection against the storms to the neighboring areas.

If a system has 225 kcal of work done to it, and releases 5.00 × 102 kj of heat into its surroundings, what is the change in int

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

$\Delta U = Q-W$

where

$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system

$Q$ is the heat absorbed by the system

$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding

In this problem, the work done by the system is

$W=-225 kcal=-941.4 kJ$

with a negative sign because the work is done by the surrounding on the system, while the heat absorbed is

$Q=-5 \cdot 10^2 kJ=-500 kJ$

with a negative sign as well because it is released by the system.

Therefore, by using the initial equation, we find

$\Delta U=Q-W=-500 kJ+941.4 kJ=441.4 kJ$

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?

valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current

A standing wave is created on a string of length 1.2 m. If the speed of the wave on the string is 60.0 m/s, what is the fundamen

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency in the string will be 25 Hz

Explanation:

We have given length of the string L = 1.2 m

Speed of the wave on the string v = 60 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency

Fundamental frequency in the string is equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}$ , here v is velocity on the string and L is the length of the string

So frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}=\frac{60}{2\times 1.2}=25Hz$

So fundamental frequency will be 25 Hz

He shoots the tree stump, which has a mass of (M), with a bullet of mass (m) traveling at some velocity (vbullet), and the bulle

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of tree stump is $M$

mass bullet is $m$

velocity of bullet is $v$

Conserving momentum for bullet and tree stump

Initial Momentum $P_i=mv$

Suppose $v_0$ is the velocity of the system

Final Momentum $P_f=(M+m)v_0$

Initial momentum =Final Momentum

$mv=(m+M)v_0$

$v_0=\frac{mv}{m+M}$

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of t

EastWind [94]

Answer:

w = 11.211 KN/m

Explanation:

Given:

diameter, d = 50 mm

F.S = 2

L = 3

Due to symmetry, we have:

$Ay = By = \frac{w * 6}{2} = 3w$

$P_c_r = 3w * F.S = 3w * 2.0 = 6w$

$I = \frac{\pi}{64} (0.05)^4 = 3.067*10^-^7$

To find the maximum intensity, w, let's take the Pcr formula, we have:

$P_c_r = \frac{\pi^2 E I}{(KL)^2}$

Let's take k = 1

$E = 200*10^9$

Substituting figures, we have:

$6w = \frac{\pi^2 * 200*10^9 * 3.067*10^-^7}{(1 * 3)^2}$

Solving for w, we have:

$w = \frac{67266.84}{6}$

w = 11211.14 N/m = 11.211 KN/m

Since Area, A= pi * (0.05)²

$\sigma _c_r = \frac{w}{A}$

$\sigma _c_r = \frac{11.211}{\pi (0.05)^2} = 1.4 MPA < \sigma y$ . This means it is safe

The maximum intensity w = 11.211KN/m
