Chemical phenomenon by virtue of which a body or compound is transformed by the action of an oxidant
Answer:
over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors
Explanation:
The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.
The five mass extinction events are
Ordovician Mass Extinction
Devonian Mass Extinction
Permian Mass Extinction
Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction
and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.
Answer:
A.) 355 m/s
B.) 0.71 m
C.) 500Hz
Explanation:
Given that a police car is traveling due east at a speed of 15.0 m/s relative to the earth. You are in a convertible following behind the police car. Your car is also moving due east at 15.0 m/s relative to the earth, so the speed of the police car relative to you is zero. The siren of the police car is emitting sound of frequency 500 Hz. The speed of sound in the still air is 340 m/s
a.) What is the speed of the sound waves relative to you?
Since the car is moving away from the observer, the relative velocity will be:
Relative velocity = 340 + 15
Relative velocity = 355 m/s
b.) What is the wavelength of the sound waves at your location?
Using the wave speed formula
V = frequency × wavelength
Make wavelength the subject of formula.
Wavelength = Velocity / frequency
Wavelength = 355/500
Wavelength = 0.71 m
c.) What frequency do you detect?
Fo = Fs ( C + V ) / ( C + v )
Fo = Fs
That is, the frequency of the observer will be equal to the frequency of the source.
Therefore, Fo = 500Hz
