A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis. An example of the cascade effect caused by the loss of a top predator is apparent in tropical forests. When hunters cause local extinctions of top predators, the predators' prey's population numbers increase, causing an overexploitation of a food resource and a cascade effect of species loss. Another example is a lake system with four trophic levels, the model predicts with the removal of the top carnivore, the primary carnivore numbers will increase, in turn, reducing the number of herbivores, increasing the phytoplankton abundance, and decreasing the levels of mineral nutrients. The effects show a positive/ negative change in trophic level structure as it moves down.

A 500 lb steel beam is lifted up by a crane to a height of 100 ft and is held there.
Nadya [2.5K]

A. How much work is being done to hold the beam in place?

Work is the product of Force and Displacement. Since there is no Displacement involved in just holding the beam in place, hence the work is zero.

 

B. How much work was done to lift the beam?

In this case, force is simply equal to weight or mass times gravity. Hence the work is:

Work = weight * displacement

Work = 500 lbf * 100 ft

Work = 50,000 lbf * ft

 

C. How much work would it take if the steel beam were raised from 100 ft to 200ft?

The displacement is still 100 ft since 200 – 100 = 100 ft, hence the work done is still similar in B which is:

<span>Work = 50,000 lbf * ft</span>

"I want to run, to skip, and to jump" is an example of _____.
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>The question is asking us to define the sentence ""I want to run, to skip, and to jump". This is a parallel construction, which means that the three parts ("to run", "to skip" and "to jump" are in the same kind of construction - to <verb>. It could be considered comma splice, but a comma splice would rather be the case if there were different subjects : for example in "I want to run, she wants to skip". </span>

2. An athlete of average size is hanging from the end of a 20 m long rope, which has a mass of 4 kg and is attached to a hook in
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.319 s

Explanation:

With the sudden movement of the athlete a pulse is formed that takes time to move along the rope, the speed of the rope is given by

             v = √T/λ

Linear density is

           λ = m / L

           λ = 4/20

           λ = 0.2 kg / m

The tension in the rope is equal to the athlete's weight, suppose it has a mass of m = 80 kg

           T = W = mg

           T = 80 9.8

           T = 784 N

The pulse rate is

          v = √(784 / 0.2)

          v = 62.6 m / s

The time it takes to reach the hook can be searched with kinematics

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

          t = 20 / 62.6

          t = 0.319 s
