"Changing water salinity" is the most significant challenge for organisms that live in estuaries.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

For estuaries, alkalinity levels are usually the maximum at a river's mouth where the ocean water falls for, and the minimum upstream where freshwater falls in. Although salinity vary throughout the tidal cycle. In estuaries, salinity rates usually decrease in spring as snow melt and rain raises the freshwater flow from streams and groundwater.

It influences the chemical environments within the estuary, especially the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the water. The level of oxygen that would get dissolved in water or its solubility get declined when the alkalinity rises.

kodGreya [7K]

The work done by the force is 47.1 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force in moving an object is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$ (1)

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance covered by the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the motion of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the object is

F = 3.0 N

This force is always tangential to the track: this means that at every instant, the force is parallel to the motion of the object, so

$\theta=0$

And the distance covered is equal to the circumference of the circle, which is:

$d=2\pi r=2\pi (2.5 m)=15.7 m$

where r = 2.5 m is the radius.

Now we can substitute into eq.(1) to find the work done:

$W=(3.0)(15.7)(cos 0)=47.1 J$

If the mass of a material is 46 grams and the volume of the material is 14 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

umka21 [38]

Answer

3.2857 g/cm³

Explanation

Density of a material is the mass of a unit volume of that material. It's SI unit is Kg/m³ but its has other units like g/cm³.

Density = mass/volume

= 46/14

= 3.2857 g/cm³

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$
