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.

Alex777 [14]

A. The acceleration during the slide is 6.86 m/s²

B. The time taken to slide until he stops is 1.2 s

<h3>How to determine the force of friction</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 81.5 Kg
  • Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.7
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Normal reaction (N) = mg = 81.5 × 9.8 = 798.7 N
  • Frictional force (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.7 × 798.7

F = 559.09 N

<h3>A. How to determine the acceleration</h3>
  • Mass (m) = 81.5 Kg
  • Frictional force (F) = 559.09 N
  • Acceleration (a) =?

a = F / m

a = 559.09 / 81.5

a = 6.86 m/s²

<h3>B. How to determine the time </h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8.23 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s
  • Decceleration (a) = -6.86 m/s²
  • Time (t) =?

a = (v – u) / t

t = (v – u) / a

t = (0 – 8.23) / -6.86

t = 1.2 s

Find the moment of inertia Ihoop of a hoop of radius r and mass m with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing
Juliette [100K]

Answer: MR²

is the the moment of inertia  of a hoop of radius R and mass M with respect to an axis perpendicular to the hoop and passing through its center

Explanation:

Since in the hoop , all mass elements  are situated at the same distance from the centre , the following expression for the moment of inertia can be written as follows.

I = ∫ r² dm

= R²∫ dm

MR²

where M is total mass and R is radius of the hoop .

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is  taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
