Answer:

More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.

Explanation:

The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.

Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.

This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.

As shown above an adhesive has been applied to contacting faces of two blocks so that the blocks interact with an adhesive force

rusak2 [61]

The magnitude of the adhesive force allows the top block to remain

attached to the bottom when the blocks and the wire are balanced.

The option that must be true is; $\mathbf{W_{bottom} = F_{adhesion}}$

Reason:

The tension exerted by the wire attached to the top block = T

Magnitude of the adhesive = $F_{adhesion}$

Weight of the top block = $W_{top}$

Weight of the bottom block = $W_{bottom}$

Given that with the exertion of the tension, the two blocks remain at rest, we have;

T = $W_{top}$ + $W_{bottom}$

The adhesive causes the bottom block to remain attached to the top block, we have;

Therefore, the magnitude of the adhesive force adds the bottom weight, to the top, weight, which gives;

The magnitude of the adhesive force = The weight of the bottom block

Therefore;

$W_{bottom}$ = $F_{adhesion}$

Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.

Average velocity = distance / time

Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Work = force * distance.
We must produce twice as much energy as we are lifting the weight twice as high.
But we are not increasing the force so we must increase the length of the ramp ( distance ) instead.
The new length will be twice as great as the previous length.
So 8 metres is required.

25 kg * 8 m = work = 100 kg * 2 m
