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 machine takes 0.5 seconds to move a brick 1 meter and put 100 Joules of energy into it. (hint: Power is the amount of energy t
Flauer [41]

Answer:

200 Watts.

Explanation:

Power is defines as the amount of work expended per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as Power = Workdone/Time

Given parameters

Energy used up 100Joules

Distance moved by brick = 1 meters

Time taken by the machine = 0.5 secs

Power can also be written as Energy/Time

Required

We need to calculate the amount of power used up.

Power = 100J/0.5s

Power = 100/(1/2)

Power = 100 * 2/1

Power = 200Watts.

This shows that the machine would expend 200Watts of power

Calculate the mass of -1.5C of electrons​
algol13
The electron is a type of low-mass, very negatively charged with a particle. As such, it can easily be deflected by passing close to other electrons or the positive nucleus of an atom. m = mass of an electron in kg = 9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms. e = magnitude of the charge of an electron in coulombs = 1.602 x 10-19 coulombs. Hope this helps!
