How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?

Artyom0805 [142]

Characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

<h3>How are characteristics used to identify and classify plants?</h3>

The divisions classify plants that are based on whether they reproduce by spores or seeds. Spore-bearing plants include ferns, club mosses, and horsetail while on the other hand, Seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Different plants have different characteristics and features so on the basis of these characteristics we can easily classify seeds whether they belong from angiosperm and gymnosperm.

So we can conclude that characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.

liq [111]

Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.

Charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere of radius R = 4.00 cm. At a distance of r = 8.00

Elena L [17]

Answer:

$2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$

$1979.99974\ N/C$

Explanation:

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Q = Charge

r = Distance = 8 cm

R = Radius = 4 cm

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{990\times 0.08^2}{8.99\times 10^{9}}\\\Rightarrow Q=7.04783\times 10^{-10}\ C$

Volume charge density is given by

$\sigma=\dfrac{Q}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=\dfrac{7.04783\times 10^{-10}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi (0.04)^3}\\\Rightarrow \sigma=2.62898\times 10^{-6}\ C/m^3$
