Concept explainers

Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

A Hippogriff is a magical beast that had tail of a horse. It is very similar to another magical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. A slightly different breed of Hippogriffs, living in the Rathlin Island—the northernmost point in Northern Ireland, was known to have a growth rate of 0.2 individuals per individual—year. From an initial population of N0, it grew to 35 individuals after 5 years. After 17 more years, the total population of hippogriffs in Rathlin Island rose to 1588 individuals. Solve for the carrying capacity of Rathlin Island and the initial population of the said specie.
