Answer:

The sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)

Explanation:

From the question, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 3mm per year.

First, we will convert mm (millimeter) to m (meter)

1 mm = 0.001 m

Then,

3 mm = 3 × 0.001 m

= 0.003m

That is, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 0.003m per year.

Now, to determine how long it will take for the ocean's level be 5 m higher than now at the given rate,

If the ocean rises 0.003 m in 1 year, then

the ocean will rise 5 m in x years

x = (5 m × 1 year) / 0.003 m

x = 5 / 0.003

x = 1666.67 years

x ≅ 1667 years

Hence, the sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)

How do high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the krebs cycle contribute to the formation of atp from adp in the electron tra

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer

Together with glycolysis, The Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain release about 36 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.The Krebs cycle uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields high-energy molecules of NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), as well as some ATP. The electron transport chain forms a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the synthesis of ATP

A certain frictionless simple pendulum having a length l and mass m swings with period t. If both l and m are doubled, what is t

iVinArrow [24]

If l and m both are doubled then the period becomes √2*T

what is a simple pendulum?

It is the one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass.

A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.

Here,
