Explain two reasons why sea ice so important to a polar bear.

1 answer:

6 0

This loss of stable old ice has set up additional losses of sea ice cover each summer because the thinner younger ice is more easily melted during the recent warmer summers. Because of their dependence upon the sea ice for food, these changes can directly affect the carrying capacity of the Arctic for polar bears. Mark this as the brainliest answer please

A baseball with a mass of 0.15 kilograms collides with a bat at a speed of 40 meters/second. The duration of the collision is 8.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: 1687.5 N

Explanation:

From the second law of motion given by Newton, Force is the rate change of momentum.

$F = \frac{dp}{dt}=\frac {m dv}{dt} = \frac{m (v_f-v_i)}{dt}$

Mass of the baseball, m = 0.15 kg

Initial velocity, $v_i=-40 m/s$ (negative because direction of initial velocity is opposite to the final velocity)

Final velocity, $v_f=50 m/s$

The duration of collision, $dt= 8.0 \times 10^{-3} s$

Force, $F = \frac{0.15 kg (50-(-40) m/s)}{8.0 \times 10^{-3} s}=1687.5 N$

Hence, the value of force is 1687.5 N.

Singing that is off-pitch by more than about 1% sounds bad. How fast would a singer have to be moving relative to the rest of a

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

-3.396 m/s or 3.465 m/s

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

$v_s$ = Relative speed of the singer

f = Observed frequency

f' = Actual frequency

1% change can mean $f=1.01f'$

From the Doppler effect equation we have

$f=f'\dfrac{v}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1.01f'=f'\dfrac{v}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 1.01=\dfrac{343}{343+v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=\dfrac{343}{1.01}-343\\\Rightarrow v_s=-3.396\ m/s$

The velocity is -3.396 m/s

when $f=0.99f'$

$f=f'\dfrac{v}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 0.99f'=f'\dfrac{v}{v+v_s}\\\Rightarrow 0.99=\dfrac{343}{343+v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=\dfrac{343}{0.99}-343\\\Rightarrow v_s=3.46464646465\ m/s$

The velocity is 3.465 m/s
