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

<u>Answer:</u> Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

An EM wave has a wave length of 956 m, What type of electromagnetic waves is this wave

Assoli18 [71]

The electromagnetic spectrum allows finding the result for the question of type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 956 nm

The wave is in the near infrared range.

The electromagnetic wave is an oscillation of electric fields and magnets field that sustain each other, this wave time has the characteristics that it can travel without a material medium, for which they are of extreme importance.

Consequently the spectrum of electromagnetic waves to each part has been given a different name second to its use, for example

Range Name

Ultraviolet light 200 to 400 nm

Visible light 400 to 700 nm

Infrared light (heat ) 700 nm to 1 mm

The latter is subdivided into:

Near infrared 700 nm to 1000 nm (1 μm)

Medium infrared 1 μm to 30 μm

Far infrared 50 μm to 1000 μm

It indicates that the wavelength of the measured radiation is 956 nm, therefore it is in the near infrared range.

this is a 3 part questionOn vacation, your 1400-kg car pulls a 560-kg trailer away from a stoplight with an acceleration of 1.85

mamaluj [8]

ANSWER:

(a) 1036 N

(b) -1036 N

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Mc = 1400 kg

Mt = 560 kg

a = 1.85 m/s^2

(a)

Force by car on trailer:

$\begin{gathered} F_c=m\cdot a \\ F_c=560\cdot1.85 \\ F_c=1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

(b)

$\begin{gathered} F_t=-F_c \\ F_t=-1036\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

(c)

$\begin{gathered} F_n=1400\cdot1.85 \\ F_n=2590\text{ N} \end{gathered}$

In midair an M = 145 kg bomb explodes into two pieces of m1 = 115 kg and another, respectively. Before the explosion, the bomb w

Answer:

$v_2=-133.17m/s$ , the minus meaning west.

Explanation:

We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before ( $p_i$ ) and after ( $p_f$ ) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.

Before the explosion we have $p_i=m_iv_i=Mv_i$ .

After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so $p_f=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$ .

These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.

Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

$Mv_i=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Which means (since we want $v_2$ and $M=m_1+m_2$ ):

$v_2=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{M-m_1}$

So for our values we have:

$v_2=\frac{(145kg)(24m/s)-(115kg)(65m/s)}{(145kg-115kg)}=-133.17m/s$

Which statement correctly differentiates between transmitters and receivers?

jeka94

Answer:

Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

(1).Transmitters have antennas, and receivers do not have antennas.

Nope. To send signals transmitters need antennas, and to receive signals the receivers need antennas as well.

(2). Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

This is true. Transmitters are for transmitting and receivers are for receiving EM signals.

(3). Transmitters have demodulators, and receivers have modulators.

No, it is the other way around. Transmitters have modulators, and receivers have demodulators.

(4). Transmitters do not have amplifiers, and receivers have amplifiers.

Nope. Both the transmitters and the receivers need amplifiers. Transmitters need them to increase the power of the broadcast, and receivers need them to amplify the signal for processing.

Therefore, only the 2nd statement "Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves." is correct.
