Answer:

Explanation:

The uplift caused a wide range of elevations and climates in the Sierra Nevada, which are reflected by the presence of five life zones (areas with similar plant and animal communities).

This question may require more information to provide a more accurate answer.

A fault block mountain range is formed by tension as rocks are pulled away from each other. A fault block is a section of rock bounded on at least two sides by faults.
Faults commonly break the crust into large, fault bounded blocks. If normal faults down drop one fault block relative to other blocks on either side, the resulting feature is called a Graben.
A block that is uplifted relative to blocks in either side is called a horst.

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation
KiRa [710]

The sweater has a tendency to attract electrons.

The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than the sweater.

Explanation:

The sweater and the leather jackets are made up of distinct fabrics that based on their minutest particles called an atom.

An atom is made up of sub-atomic particles of protons, neutrons and electrons.

  • Electrons occupies the bulk volume of the atom and they are easily lost in atoms that are big. They are negatively charged.
  • Protons are positively charged and are very difficult to lose. They occupy the tiny nucleus with neutrons.
  • A body that becomes negatively charged will be said to have a hihg tendency to attract electrons. Normally atoms are electrically neutral. When additional electrons are added to them, they become negatively charged.
  • In this case, the sweater has a high affinity for electrons and it will attract the ones on the leather jacket.
  • The leather jacket has a low tendency to attract electrons than the sweater and it will lose some of its electrons to the sweater.

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases
andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.
