What effect does the removal of vegetation have on soil ?

1 answer:

5 0

Hello!

The removal of vegetation causes the desertification and erosion of soil. The roots of the plants that are inside the soil create a sort of net that prevents the material to be dragged by the water from the rain. They also absorb any excess water that can weaken the soil structure. If vegetation is removed from the soil, the nutrients can be dragged by water currents and slowly the desertification will occur.

Have a nice day!

There are two force acting on an object that is being lifted. (1) the weight of the car, (2) the upward force. The difference of these force should be equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration. (This is the content of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion). If we let the lifting force be F,
F - (830)(9.8) = (830)(3.8)
The value of F from the equation is 11288 N.

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 25 Ohms

Explanation:

From this question, the following parameters are given:

Voltage V = 1.5 v

Current I = 0.03A

From Ohm's law;

V = IR

Where R = resultant resistance of the two resistors.

Substitute V and I into the formula and make resultant R the subject of formula.

1.5 = 0.03 × R

R = 1.5/0.03

R = 50 Ohms

From the question, it is given that Thr two equal resistors are connected in series.

R = R1 + R2

But R1 = R2

50 = 2R1

R1 = 50/2

R1 = 25

R1 = R2 = 25 Ohms

Therefore, the resistors must each have a value of 25 Ohms

Reil [10]

Answer:

2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

Explanation:

This question is describing balancing a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical reaction has the same number of atoms of each elements on both the reactant and product side. According to the question, the reactants contains 4 atoms of oxygen. The reactants give rise to water (H20) and O2 in the products side.

This reaction is most likely the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as follows:

H2O2 (l) ----> H2O (l) + O2(g)

Based on the description, H2O2 will be 2H2O2 as it is said to contain four atoms of oxygen. This means that, in order to have a balanced equation, we must place coefficient 2 in front of water and coefficient 1 in front of oxygen. That is;

2H2O2 (l) ----> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)

<h3>Hello There!!</h3>

<h3><u>Given</u>,</h3>

Force(F) = 150N

Mass(m) = 90kg

Acceleration(a) = ?

F= m×a

$150 = 90 \times \text{a} \\ \\ \text{a} = \frac{150}{90} \\ \fbox{cancelling by 3} \\ \\ \text{ a} = \cancel \frac{150}{90} \\ \\ \text{ a} = \frac{5}{3} = 1.67 \text{m/s} {}^{2}$

$\therefore \text{Option A= 1.67 m/s² is the correct answer}$
