AI Thread Summary
Weasels and stoats are classified as carnivores in a biomass pyramid because they primarily consume other animals. The discussion seeks clarification on what additional information could be provided for a complete answer, potentially earning a third mark. Participants express uncertainty about biology while highlighting their strengths in other subjects like math and physics. The conversation hints at a desire for deeper understanding of ecological classifications. Overall, the focus remains on accurately identifying the trophic level of these animals and justifying that classification.

hello there I am doing an Edexcel past paper, and the question consists of 3 marks:

Q) Name the trophic level in a biomass pyramid that would include weasels and stoats. Explain your answer.

A) Carnivores as weasels and stoats eat other animals.

What is (possibly) the third mark?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Sounds good to me but then what do I know?

Math, I'm good at! Physics, okay. Biology?

Any biology experts out there?
 
may be mathematics can explain why stoats should be carnivores?
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
