The scales readings are 300 N for each of the scale.

<h3>What is weight?</h3>

The weight of an object is the force acting on the object due to gravity.

Weight is a vector quantity because it varies from place to place due to difference in acceleration due to gravity and it is measured in Newton (N).

<h3>Reading of each scale</h3>

The total weight of the person is supported by the two legs and if the person stand on a level ground, the weight will be evenly distributed and each scale will carry half of the person's weight.

The reading of each scale due to the weight of the person is calculated as follows;

Reading of each scale = total weight / 2

Reading of each scale = 600 N/2

Reading of each scale = 300 N

Thus, the scales readings are 300 N for each of the scale.

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.

AysviL [449]

D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil

A tennis ball is tossed upward with a speed of 3.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}3.0 s m 3, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m

MrRa [10]

Answer:

The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation for the velocity of an object thrown upward is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

v = velocity of the ball.

v0 = initial velocity.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

t = time.

To find the velocity of the ball at t = 0.40 s, we have to replace "t" by 0.40 s in the equation:

v = v0 + g · t

v = 3.0 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.40 s

v = -0.92 m/s

The velocity of the ball is 0.92 m/s in the downward direction (-0.92 m/s).

Identify characteristics of energy from the Sun. Check all that apply.

-BARSIC- [3]

Almost all of the energy on Earth comes from the Sun

The energy in fossil fuels originally came from the Sun

Plants convert the energy

Explanation:

The sun is the ultimate source of energy on earth and even the whole of the solar system. The sun drives and powers all external processes on earth. It produces its energy from the nuclear fusion of lighter nuclei into heavier ones.

Almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. A few component of the energy on the surface comes from the internal heat engine.
The energy of fossil fuels originally came from the sun. This is because, plants stores the energy in the process of photosynthesis. When they die and the energy is not released, the energy is stored as fossil fuels.
Plants in the process of photosynthesis converts the energy. Here green plants combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

How does upwelling affect the weather of a coastal region?

SIZIF [17.4K]

c.The warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.

Explanation:

During upwelling, cold water in the ocean is stirred up and brought to the surface.
The warmer surface water is then taken into deeper parts of the ocean.
Upwelling allows for nutrient mixing in the ocean and allows for useful gases to circulate well.
The warm surface water causes the air to be moisty.
When the air is carried landward towards the coast, it leads to rainfall when the saturated air releases the water.
The air then becomes cold and dry and it rises up.
Therefore, warm surface water results in moist air and more rainfall.
