A bird population of 16,000 experienced 2,000 births and 500 deaths in a year. What was the bird population's growth rate for that year?

Two cannon balls weighing 18 kg and 24 kg are chained together and fired horizontally with a velocity of 165 m/s from the top of a 21-m wall. the chain breaks during the flight of the cannonballs and the 18-kg cannonball strikes the ground at t = 1.5 s, at a distance of 240 m from the foot of the wall, and 7 m to the right of the line of fire. determine the position of the other cannonball at that instant. neglect the resistance of the air.

You have been hired to design a spring-launched roller coaster thatwill carry two passengers per car. the car goes up a 10-m highhill, then descends 15m to the track's lowest point. you'vedetermined that the spring can be compressed a maximum o 2.0m andthat a loaded car will have a maximum mass of 400kg. for safetyreasons, the spring constant should be 10% larger than the minimumneeded for the car to just make it over the top. a) what spring constant (k) should you specify ? b) what is the maximum speed of a 350 kg car if the spring iscompressed the full amount.

The text compares alternating current with direct current. how are they different? a alternating current reverses direction in the electrical wiring. direct current flows in one direction only. b direct current reverses direction in the electrical wiring. alternating current flows in one direction only. c direct current is powered by solar energy. alternating current is powered by electrical energy. d alternating current does not move in the electrical wiring. direct current does move in the electrical wiring.
