Answer:

The ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.

Explanation:

The  ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio changes as a result of temperature. When the climate is warm, the ¹⁶O evaporates first for being lighter than ¹⁸O. When the climate is cold, the ¹⁸O precipitates first for being heavier than ¹⁶O. Thus the cold regions are rich in ¹⁶O (have little ¹⁸O) and the tropics regions are rich in ¹⁸O (have little ¹⁶O). Hence, the ratio ¹⁸O/¹⁶O is high in warm areas (for the evaporation of  ¹⁶O) and lower in cold areas (for the precipitation of ¹⁸O).

Therefore, during periods of global cooling, the ¹⁸O/¹⁶O ratio will decrease.                    

I hope it helps you!

A small cube of metal measures 19.0 mm on a side and weighs 79.6 g. What is the density of the metal in g/cm3?
Nady [450]

Answer:

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

Explanation:

density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of that substance.

the density of a substance = \frac{mass}{volume}

volume of a cube = l³,

l = 19.0mm , lets convert mm to cm

1mm = 0.1cm, thus, 19mm =19*0.1 =1.9cm

length of cube =1.9cm

volume of cube = 1.9³

density of cube = \frac{79.6}{1.9^{3} }

density of cube =11.605 g/cm³

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

slader Question: A Model Rocket Is Launched Straight Upward With An Initial Speed Of 50m/s. Iit Accelerates With A Constant Upwa
xenn [34]

Answer:

Maximum height reached by the rocket is

y_{max} = 308 m

total time of the motion of rocket is given as

T = 16.44 s

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket is given as

v_i = 50 m/s

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 2 m/s^2

engine stops at height h = 150 m

so the final speed of the rocket at this height is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 50^2 = 2(2)(150)

v_f = 55.68 m/s

so maximum height reached by the rocket is given as the height where its final speed becomes zero

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - 55.68^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 150)

y_{max} = 308 m

Now the total time of the motion of rocket is given as

1) time to reach the height of 150 m

v_f - v_i = at

55.68 - 50 = 2 t

t_1 = 2.84 s

2) time to reach ground from this height

\Delta y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

-150 = 55.68 t - \frac{1}{2}(9.81) t^2

t_2 = 13.6 s

so total time of the motion of rocket is given as

T = 13.6 + 2.84 = 16.44 s
