Answer:

As you learned, scientists standardized the short-hand way we represent elements, by their chemical symbol. One of the main reasons this was developed was because using letters was the easiest way to represent the elements. Another reason that we use chemical symbols is to allow us to write chemical formulas easily

One set of chemical symbols means that every science student and scientist -- no matter what languages they speak -- can identify these chemicals.

I hope this helps

A ball accelerates from rest down a ramp at 2.4 m/s^2. Write an equation that could be used to determine the balls finals positi

Alik [6]

Answer:

x=2.4t+4.9t^2

Explanation:

This equation is one of the kinematic equations to solve for distance. The original equation is as follows:

X=Xo+Vt+1/2at^2

We know that the ball starts at rest meaning that its initial velocity and position is zero.

X=0+Vt+1/2at^2

Since it is going down the ramp, you can use the acceleration of gravity constant. (9.81 m/s^2) and simplify that with the 1/2.

X=Vt+4.9t^2

Note: Since the positive direction in this problem is down, you are adding the 4.9t^2, but if a question says that the downward direction is negative, you would subtract those values.

Now, substitute in your velocity value.

X=2.4t+4.9t^2

The lungs art part of The excretory system....
somatic nervous system is ..... autonomic nervous system....

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}$

$d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m$

wavelengt of sound is $\lambda$ = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m

A wrestler weighs in for the first match on the moon. will the athlete weigh more or less on the moon than he does on Earth?

Firdavs [7]

The moon is 1/4 the size of Earth, so the moon's gravity is much less than the earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Finally, "weight" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would weigh much less on the moon.
