which of the following statements is a reasonable conclusion about the Arctic ecosystem? a)The number of offspring produced is an abiotic limiting factor because it affects the number of prey that predators can eat. b)The number of predators is an abiotic limiting factor because it affects the number of consumers that can eat producers. c)Temperature is an abiotic limiting factor because it affects the amount of sea ice available for animals to live on. d)Sunlight is an abiotic limiting factor because it affects the number of producers available for other organisms to eat.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 11.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.80 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.80 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 78.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

You throw a small rock straight up from the edge of a highway bridge that crosses a river. the rock passes you on its way down, 7.00 s after it was thrown. what is the speed of the rock just before it reaches the water 28.0 m below the point where the rock left your hand? ignore air resistance.
