Do you think acid rain is harmful
insens350 [35]
Acid rain can be very harmful, mildly harmful, or not harmful at all. It mainly depends on the density of the rain, and how bad the current air pollution in the area is. Also, it depends on how often the area gets acid rain. The first few times an area gets acid rain, it's nearly harmless. Then, the next few it can be very dangerous, but eventually gets weaker over time. More air polluted areas are more likely to get much more harmful acid rain.
Summary: Acid rain is usually mildly harmful, mostly only harmful to infrastructures.<span />

A 100 kg box is initially at rest on a level surface. One 10 N force acts on the box , directed toward the right. A second 10 N
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The box will not move because balanced forces are acting on it.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, an object will remain in its state of rest or motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

An unbalanced force is an individual force acting on any side of an object which is not balanced by a force of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction.

From the image, two forces of equal magnitude of 10 N are pulling the 100 kg box in opposite directions. Since the two forces, 10 N each are pulling the object in opposite directions, they are balanced forces. Therefore, the box will not move because balanced forces are acting on it.

What Does each part of the bunch of grape model represent, in relation to the breathing system?
Citrus2011 [14]
The respiratory system is the set of organs, which allows breathing, that is to say, the gaseous exchanges between the body and the environment.
The respiratory system can be easily assimilated to a bunch of grapesThe main stem of this branch of grapes is the trachea. then divides into smaller ducts called bronchi. Next,  it branches into even smaller branches called bronchioles.
The grapes themselves are the alveolar sacs that are branched with the bronchioles. (each grape is an alveolar sac, the functional unit of the respiratory system).
