Answer:
On average, one acre of new forest can sequester about 2.5 tons of carbon annually. Young trees absorb CO2 at a rate of 13 pounds per tree each year. Trees reach their most productive stage of carbon storage at about 10 years at which point they are estimated to absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year.
Answer:
a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz
b) Period = 5.8 sec
c) speed = 7.04 m/s
d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²
Explanation:
Given that;
radius = 6.5m
time period = 5.8 sec every circle
a) the frequency
frequency is the number of rotation in unit time
frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8
frequency = 0.1724 Hz
b) the period
period is time taken in one rotation
period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1
Period = 5.8 sec
c) the speed
speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8
speed = 7.04 m/s
d) acceleration
To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.
so
acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5
acceleration = 7.62 m/s²
Answer:
B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.
Explanation:
It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.
For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by 
is 
(S.I. unit = Joules).
where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.
But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat
(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
Gamma radiation is composed of the stable form of nuclei and most important Helium Atom is released in this reaction !
gamma radiation is due to fission in which the radioactive substance is bombarded and as a result a stable form of that element is formed and a Helium atom !
