The line tic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is

25 joules

Explanation:

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object.

So, kinetic energy = 1/2 X Mass X Velocity^2

Mass = 0.5kg

Velocity = 10m/s^2

= 1/2 x 0.5kg x 10^2

= 0.5 x 0.5 x 100

= 25 Joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the moving ball is 25 joules

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
