Answer:

Mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, competition, and predation.

Explanation:

mutualism- relationship between two or more organisms where both are benefited. Example-oxpecker with rhino/zebra. They eat bugs off of them which means that they are getting food, while the rhino/zebra are getting cleaned up with pest control.

commensalism- relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other isn't benefited or harmed. EX- tree frogs use plants as protectioin.he frog is benefited, and the plant is neither harmed nor benefited. Remora fish have a disk on their heads that they use to attach themselves to larger animals for protection. The animals they attach to are neither harmed nor benefited.

parasitism- in a relationship where an organism benefits at the expense of the other. (one is benefited while the other is harmed) ex- fleas and ticks that live on cats and dogs, tape worms that live in people and animals that eat the food which means that the people aren't getting the food or nutrition that they eat. lice, etc

competition- interaction within organisms/species in which both the organisms/species are harmed and is apart of natural selection. Examples may include two males fighting over a mate, animals competing over food, limited habitats that they are fighting over, territory, etc.

predation- the preying of one animal on another. It's where the predator hunts and eats another organism which is its prey. categorized within-(1) carnivory, (2) herbivory, (3) parasitism, and (4) mutualism. Each type of predation can by categorized based on whether or not it results in the death of the prey.ex- owls hunting mice, wolves hunting rabbits, lion hunting gazelle, etc.

In this circuit (see picture), which resistor will draw the least power?

Basile [38]

A few different ways to do this:

Way #1:
The current in the series loop is (12 V) / (total resistance) .
(Turns out to be 2 Amperes, but the question isn't asking for that.)

In a series loop, the current is the same at every point, so it's
the same current through each resistor.

The power dissipated by a resistor is (current)² · (resistance),
and the current is the same everywhere in the circuit, so the
smallest resistance will dissipate the least power. That's R1 .

And by the way, it's not "drawing" the most power. It's dissipating it.

Way #2:
Another expression for the power dissipated by a resistance is

(voltage across the resistance)² / (resistance) .

In a series loop, the voltage across each resistor is

[ (individual resistance) / (total resistance ] x battery voltage.

So the power dissipated by each resistor is

(individual resistance)² x [(battery voltage) / (total resistance)²]

This expression is smallest for the smallest individual resistance.
(The other two quantities are the same for each individual resistor.)
So again, the least power is dissipated by the smallest individual resistance.
That's R1 .

Way #3: (Einstein's way)
If we sat back and relaxed for a minute, stared at the ceiling, let our minds
wander, puffed gently on our pipe, and just daydreamed about this question
for a minute or two, we might have easily guessed at the answer.

===> When you wire up a battery and a light bulb in series, the part
that dissipates power, and gets so hot that it radiates heat and light, is
the light bulb (some resistance), not the wire (very small resistance).

1-¿Que tipo de energía usa en su hogar para el alumbrado , la calefacción y artículos de entretenían, entre otros ? 2-¿ de que m

Harman [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1.-Energía eléctrica ( electricidad ) proveniente de una fuente AC ( es decir de corriente alterna)

2.-Hay un proveedor de servicios que lleva la energía a las comunidades en general y en particular la lleva hasta mi casa y escuela. Se define como acometida eléctrica, la infraestructura que lleva la energía desde la red de distribución al tablero principal en el abonado. La acometida puede ser aérea o subterránea, y normalmente consta de tres conductores ( de los cuales dos son calibre AWG # 8 ( dos fases ) y uno AWG # 10 ( neutro ). Esta configuración permite tener: 120 y 240 (V) en servicio en la casa y suficiente capacidad para la carga eléctrica de una casa normal

3.-Si, el tipo de corriente. En el caso de una linterna se usan "pilas" o baterías de corriente directa ( que no varia en el tiempo), en la casa la corriente es alterna de 60 ciclos por segundo de frecuencia.

4.-Si el voltaje es menor en una medida importante la ampolleta no alumbra por cuanto si por ejemplo el voltaje nominal ( o de funcionamiento es 120 V y el voltaje suministrado es 50 V ese voltaje será insuficiente para hacer funcionar el circuito). Si el voltaje es mayor dígamos 240 V la ampolleta se quema.

5.-El interruptor nos asegura la maniobra a nuestra voluntad del circuito del cual forma parte. Es decir si tengo un circuito de alumbrado ( 1 bombillo y un interruptor ) ese interruptor me permitirá apagar y encender la luz cuando yo quiera.

Los breaker son "interruptores" son dispositivos de protección para caso de sobrecargas y/o cortocircuitos

Which object had more potential energy when it was lifted to a distance of 10 meters? Show your

vitfil [10]

When all of the objects are lifted to the same height, the object
that has the most mass also has the most potential energy.

If we knew anything about the masses of the objects in this question,
then we could be more specific.

Calculation:

<em>Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the reference level)</em>.

A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at adistance r from each other. They then begin to move apart.Find the sp

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The unknown quantities are:

E and F

The final velocity of the proton is:

√(8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve this problem using conservation of energy and momentum.

Since both particles are at rest at the beginning, the initial energy and momentum are:

Ei = k (q1q2)/r

pi = 0

where k is the coulomb constant (= 8.987×10⁹ N·m²/C²)

and q1 = e and q2 = 2e

When the distance between the particles doubles, the energy and momentum are:

Ef = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

pf = m1v1 + m2v2

with m1 = m, m2 = 4m, v1=vf_p, v2 = vf_alpha

The conservation momentum states that:

pi = pf

Therefore:

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

That is:

v2 = (1/4) v1

The conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Therefore:

k (q1q2)/r = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

Replacing

m1 = m, m2 = 4m, q1 = e, q2 = 2e

and v2 = (1/4)v1

We get:

(1/2)mv1^2 = k e^2/r + (1/2)4m(v1/4)^2 = k e^2/r + (1/8)mv1^2

(3/8) mv1^2 = k e^2/r

v1^2 = (8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Which of the following do not involve a direction?

Mazyrski [523]

I'm pretty sure the answer is D. The equation for acceleration is velocity divided by time. So the answer is D.
