Acceleration From Graphs

We need to figure out the acceleration during each section of the graph

Graph A

1. What is the acceleration between t=0 and t = 2
2. What is the acceleration between t=2 and t=10
3. What is the acceleration between t=10 and t=12
4. What is the acceleration between t=12 and t=16

Graph B

1. What is the acceleration between t=0 and t=10?
2. What is the acceleration between t=10 and t=15?
3. What is the acceleration between t=15 and t=40?
4. What is the acceleration between t=40 and t=55?

Relationships Test Questions

1. Desert mistletoe is a shrub plant that produces red berries, which are eaten by birds. The hard seeds in the fruit then pass through the bird and are left on the branch of a tree to grow.  There, the mistletoe can sprout and grow its roots inside of a host tree, where it steals water and nutrients from the tree through its roots.  Which of the following best describes the relationships that mistletoe has with these two organisms, the bird and the tree?
   
   

a. mutualism with the bird; mutualism with the tree

b. mutualism with the bird; parasitism with the tree

c. commensalism with the bird; mutualism with the three

d. parasitism with the bird; parasitism with the tree

2. In the 1930s, farmers brought a plant species called buffelgrass from South Africa to the southwestern United States. They did so to reduce erosion rates and provide food for livestock. buffelgrass thrived and spread throughout the southwest, particularly in Arizona. How is the relationship between buffelgrass and other plant species best categorized?

a. native – non-native                          b. parasitism

c. commensalisms                               d. predator-prey

3. In a desert environment, cactus wrens often build their nests in cholla cactus to avoid predators. This behavior does not hurt the cactus. Which type of relationship do cactus wrens and cholla cactus demonstrate?
   
   

a. native – non-native                          b. parasitism

c. commensalism                                d. competition

e. mutualism

4. Although Hyenas are shown in movies as cowards, they are actually ferocious hunters. Lions often wait for hyenas to kill their prey, such as zebra, and then scare them off and claim the zebra for themselves. What relationship is this an example of?   
   
   

a. native – non-native                          b. parasitism

c. commensalisms                               d. competition

e. mutualism

5. On your answer sheet come up with your own example of a symbiotic relationship. Label the type of relationship and the organisms involved.

Take a break from testing!.............and look at weird old pictures of me before I was this old

Already bossing people around.....little did I know I would be a teacher one day...........

Hungry......always..

Shortly after this photo I told my sister that Santa wasn't real. 

Almost had a beard right out of the womb. Thankfully I'm much better looking now. 

I can't believe my parents made us wear those ridiculous sweaters.
