<u>Answer:</u>

Mass of leaves in scientific notation = 3.55*10^8kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Number of leaves released by type of deciduous tree  = 7500 leaves on average each fall

  Mass of 1 leaf = 1.7 grams = 1.7*10^{-3}kg

  Mass of 7500 leaves = 7500*1.7*10^{-3} = 12.75kg

  No trees per acre = 206

  Area of forest = 135,000 acre.

  Total no of trees in 135,000 acre = 135,000 * 206 = 2.781*10^7 trees

  Mass of leaves fallen in 135,000 acre =  12.75*2.781*10^7=3.55*10^8kg

  Mass of leaves in scientific notation = 3.55*10^8kg

FrozenT [24]

0.74in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

length range of adult mosquito = 3.0 - 6.0mm

Smallest mosquito = 2.5mm

Largest mosquito = 19mm

Average mass range = 3.0 - 5.0mg

Unknown:

Length of largest known mosquito in inches = ?

Solution;

The length is the longest dimension. It is how long a body is.

 The problem here is converting from mm to inches;

 

The length of the longest mosquito which is the largest is 19mm

 19mm to inches;

     1mm = 0.039inches

  19mm = 19mm x \frac{0.039in}{1mm} = 0.74in

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k
rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

                             KE  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                                     = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

                                     =    (1 kg)  (2.25 m²/s²)

                                     =        2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

                     Energy is never created or destroyed. 
                     If it seems that some energy disappeared,
                     it actually had to go somewhere.
                     And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
                     it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision.  The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?
Vlada [557]
Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.
