Answer: Increase in the population of lower organisms.

Explanation: Raccoons are mesopredators found in the middle levels of food webs and have critical impacts on the dynamics of many other species. Thus, they greatly contribute to the functioning of the ecosystem.

They are naturally equipped to checkmate the population size of other organism that are below them (i.e., their preys) in the food web. They are; predators, pathogen carriers (such as rabies), and competitors, as they compete with some specialist in the food web.

Hence, the decrease in the population of raccoons will lead to the increase in the population size of lower organisms they prey on in the food web or chain.

12345 [234]

Answer:

1.0MG

Explanation:

to solve this problem we use this formula

S₀-S/t = ksx --- (1)

the values have been given as

concentration = S₀ = 250mg

effluent concentration = S= 10mg

value of K = 0.04L/day

x = 3000 mg

when we put these values into this equation,

250-10/t = 0.04x10x3000

240/t = 1200

we cross multiply from this stage

240 = 1200t

t = 240/1200

t = 0.2

remember the question says that 5MGD is required to be treated

so the volume would be

v = 0.2x5

= 1.0 MG

Compared to 15 mph on a dry road, about how much longer will it take for
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

8 to 10 times

Explanation:

For dry road

u= 15 mph        ( 1 mph = 0.44 m/s)

u= 6.7 m/s

Let take coefficient of friction( μ) of dry road is 0.7

So the de acceleration a = μ g

a= 0.7 x 10  m/s ²                         ( g=10 m/s ²)

a= 7 m/s ²

We know that

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 6.7 - 7 x t

t= 0.95 s

For snow road

μ = 0.4

de acceleration a = μ g

a = 0.4 x 10 = 4 m/s ²

u= 30 mph= 13.41 m/s

v= u - a t

Final speed ,v=0

0 = 30 - 4 x t'

t'=7.5 s

t'=7.8 t

We can say that it will take 8 to 10 times more time as compare to dry road for stopping the vehicle.

8 to 10 times

At a point on the free surface of a stressed body, the normal stresses are 20 ksi (T) on a vertical plane and 30 ksi (C) on a ho
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The principal stresses are σp1 = 27 ksi, σp2 = -37 ksi and the shear stress is zero

Explanation:

The expression for the maximum shear stress is given:

\tau _{M} =\sqrt{(\frac{\sigma _{x}^{2}-\sigma _{y}^{2}  }{2})^{2}+\tau _{xy}^{2}    }

Where

σx = stress in vertical plane = 20 ksi

σy = stress in horizontal plane = -30 ksi

τM = 32 ksi

Replacing:

32=\sqrt{(\frac{20-(-30)}{2} )^{2} +\tau _{xy}^{2}  }

Solving for τxy:

τxy = ±19.98 ksi

The principal stress is:

\sigma _{x}+\sigma _{y} =\sigma _{p1}+\sigma _{p2}

Where

σp1 = 20 ksi

σp2 = -30 ksi

\sigma _{p1}  +\sigma _{p2}=-10 ksi (equation 1)

\tau _{M} =\frac{\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}}{2} \\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=2\tau _{M}\\\sigma _{p1}-\sigma _{p2}=32*2=64ksi equation 2

Solving both equations:

σp1 = 27 ksi

σp2 = -37 ksi

The shear stress on the vertical plane is zero
