Answer: D) weathering

Phosphorus is a chemical organic element that is found in numerous compounds of the Earth typically found in water, sediments and soils. The phosphorus in the soil is being added up by the chemical fertilizers. In the ocean or marine water the phosphorus is deposited as animal waste and by the weathering of the rocks and minerals.

The weathering is a process by which the rocks are broken down into small parts and sediments by the action of the physical agents such as water, wind and chemicals. In the given situation the weathering is the process by which the element phosphorus will be added to the bottom bed of the ocean.

Two forces, F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec and F⃗ 2F→2F_2_vec, act at a point,F⃗ 1F→1F_1_vec has a magnitude of 8.80 NN and is directed at an an
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N
  • F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

Explanation:

You apparently want the sum of forces ...

  F = 8.80∠-56° +7.00∠52.8°

Your angle reference is a bit unconventional, so we'll compute the components of the forces as ...

  f∠α = (-f·cos(α), -f·sin(α))

This way, the 2nd quadrant angle that has a negative angle measure will have a positive y component.

  = -8.80(cos(-56°), sin(-56°)) -7.00(cos(52.8°), sin(52.8°))

  ≈ (-4.92090, 7.29553) +(-4.23219, -5.57571)

  ≈ (-9.15309, 1.71982)

The resultant component forces are ...

  • Fx = -9.15 N
  • Fy = 1.72 N

Then the magnitude and direction of the resultant are

  F∠γ = (√(9.15309² +1.71982²))∠arctan(-1.71982/9.15309)

  F∠γ ≈ 9.31∠-10.6°

This question is related to inertia:
luda_lava [24]
The way I do it is suddenly, in the same sort of way that magicians try to pull a table cloth off a table when there's things on the table cloth.The sudden approach acts as an impulse of force and starts to accelerate the roll. But, the piece (assuming it has perforations) is off the roll before the roll can move, due to inertia. Then the roll will acclerate, move, slow down and stop. However, in accelerating, the roll will unravel. The bigger the impulse the more it will unravel.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++If on the other hand, the piece of paper is held firmly, and the roll is pulled, then the impulse is presumably given to the paper and the hand whose inertia is a lot more than that of the roll. So, I think I'd actually go for choice c)+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++This assumes that the roll is free to rotate.I think that a similar idea is behind the design and use of a "ballistic galvanometer". The charge is passed through the galvanometer quickly, as a current pulse. Then the needle starts to deflect, and the deflection is arranged to depend on the total charge that has passed through in the time of the current pulse.

A 650-kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3.00 s with constant acceleration until it reaches its cruis- ing speed
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: P=5573.43\ W

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the elevator is M=650\ kg\\\

Time period of ascension t=3\ s

cruising speed v=1.75\ m/s

Distance moved by elevator during this time

Suppose Elevator starts from rest

\Rightarrow v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 1.75=0+a(3)\\\Rightarrow a=0.583\ s

Distance moved

\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0+0.5\times 0.5833\times (3)^2\\\Rightarrow h=2.62\ m

Gain in Potential Energy is

\Rightarrow E=mgh\\\Rightarrow E=650\times 9.8\times 2.62\\\Rightarrow E=16,720.3\ N

Average power during this period is

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16,720.3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow P=5573.43\ W

Why are insulators important?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

An insulator opposes the flow of electricity. Insulators are important to keep us safe from electricity. The wire that carries electricity to your computer or television is covered with a rubber-like insulator that protects you from getting electrocuted. Good insulators include glass, the air, and paper.

Hope this helped, Have a Wonderful Day!!

On the moon, the acceleration of gravity is 1.6 m/s2. If an object has a
Amanda [17]

Answer:

5.1 kg

Explanation:

Its mass on the moon is 5.1 kg because mass is an intrinsic property of a material and does not change with location. Although, its weight might vary because its acceleration of gravity g is dependent on the mass M and radius r of the planet(in this case, moon) involved g = GM/r². Since weight W = mg is dependent o g, weight varies but mass remains constant.
