Scientists and engineers are working to develop ways to replace corn with a different plant, such as switchgrass, in the product

ion of ethanol. This is largely because using corn to produce ethanol could cause a problem for society. Which of the following statements best describes this problem?
A. Chemical processes do not exist that can transform corn's sugars into ethanol.
B. Grass resources are scarce and could be used up if harvested to produce ethanol.
C. Harvesting corn for ethanol could come into conflict with harvesting corn for food.
D. Chemical processes do not exist that can release the chemical energy in ethanol.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Using corn to produce ethanol will significantly reduce the amount of corn, available for the food industry. Note, that corn is used not only as a food for people, but also as a good source of energy for the animals due to its high productivity. As the amount of the farming soil is limited and the humanity is facing the lack of the food already, utilizing the corn to make ethanol, specially in high volumes, will have further negative impact on the starving people. In addition, note, that ethanol will be used by rich people, who already have good access to the food, so low income society will face further issues.

The charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

<h3>What is Columb's law?</h3>

The force of attraction between two charges, according to Coulomb's law, is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Similar charges repel each other, whereas charges that are opposed attract each other.

Given data;

Electric force,F = 9 × 10 ⁻⁹ N

Distance between charges,d = 7 × 10⁻⁴ m

Chrge,q₁ = q₂ =q C

From Columb's law;

\rm F = K \frac{q_1q_2}{d^2} \\\\ 9 \times 10^{-9}  = 9 \times 10^9 \frac{q^2}{(7 \times 10^{-4})^2} \\\\ q^2 = 4.9 \times 10^{-25} \\\\  q = 7 \times 10^{-13} \ C

Hence the charge on each of the equally charged drops of hairspray willl be 7 × 10 ⁻¹³ C

Describe how gps data are used in the study of certain animals
zheka24 [161]

GPS also known as Global positioning system is a satellite-based radio -navigation system used for many purposes, animal tracking being one of them.

In GPS tracking, a GPS tag is placed on the animal. This picks up signals from special satellites and the data is stored on-board the tag or transmitted to the user through a communication network.

These tags provide very accurate location estimations for animals. Thus it helps scientists and other wildlife observers with the accurate locations of animals and helps them in their studying and thesis work.
