Answer:Answer:

300 seconds

Explanation:

We solve this problem using the equation of uniform motion;

d  =v*t

d: Distance traveled

t:  Time

v: Speed

We raise the equations of uniform motion because they run at a constant speed.

dJ=3.8*tJ   Motion equation for Jenny

dA=4*tA   Motion equation for Alyssa

d:distancia

When Jenny and Alissa meet, they will have traveled the same distance,then:

dJ=dA

3.8 tJ  =4*tA

tA =\frac{3.8}{4} * tJ

tA =0.95¨*tJ Equation (1)

Jenny runs 15 seconds longer than Alyssa,then:

tJ = tA+15 Equation (2)

We replace tA =0.95tJ of the Equation (1) in the Equation (2):

tJ = 0.95*tJ +15

tJ-0.95*tJ=15

0.05* tJ=15

tJ=\frac{15}{0.05}

tJ=300 s

Alyssa catch up with Jenny in 300 s after Jenny’s start .

Explain in your own words how chlorophyll makes a leaf look green
denis-greek [22]
<span>You may have noticed that there are plants which do not have green leaves.  Some plants are green because of a type of pigment called chlorophyll.   Plant cells contain chloroplast which constitutes the pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs red light and deep-blue light, hence, the rest of the sunlight spectrum which is being reflected causes the plant to look green.  When light reflects  off on leaves into your eyes, the leaves take in every hue of the rainbow, except for the color green, thus reflected into your eyes  and makes the leaves appear green.</span>

The rainforest is hot, humid, and has frequent rainfall. In what way do the atmosphere and the hydrosphere contribute to this ty
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The atmosphere which contains nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases essential for life, contributes to the rainforest climate. The rainforest is hot, humid and helps balance the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by absorbing it and releasing more oxygen which is important for climate change.

The hydrosphere, which is the combination of various types of water sources and types found in air, in the form of water vapor; water found below the earth's surface and above, also contributes to the rainforest climate. The frequent rainfall dictates the vegetation growth in that area which also creates weather patterns due to the contribution of the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is important in the formation of rain. A  rainforest of frequent rainfall indicates a large amount of the combination of various types of water sources and types found in a particular area, which release the water back onto the rainforest.

Three objects lie in the x, y plane. Each rotates about the z axis with an angular speed of 5.58 rad/s. The mass m of each objec
QveST [7]

Answer:

a) V1=11.05m/s    V2=92.07m/s     V3=17.24m/s

b) KE = 16238.26J

Explanation:

For tangential speeds:

V1 = \omega*R1=5.58*1.98=11.05m/s

V2 = \omega*R2=5.58*16.5=92.07m/s

V3 = \omega*R3=5.58*3.09=17.24m/s

For the kinetic energy, it can be calculated as:

KE=1/2*\omega^2*(I1+I2+I3)

Where:

I1 = m1*R1^2=5.46*1.98^2=21.4kg.m^2

I2 = m2*R2^2=3.64*16.5^2=990.99kg.m^2

I3 = m3*R3^2=3.21*3.09^2=30.65kg.m^2

So,

KE=1/2*5.58^2*(21.4+990.99+30.65)

KE=16238.26J

A block of aluminum with a weight of 10 N is placed in a beaker of water filled to the brim. Water overflows. The same is done i
grigory [225]

Answer:

   No

Explanation:

Given that

Weight of the aluminium block = 10 N

Weight of the aluminium lead = 10 N

We know that

Weight = Volume x Density x g

Wt= V x ρ x g

The density of aluminium ,ρ=2810 kg/m³

The density of lead ,ρ=11343 kg/m³

From above we can say that density of lead is more than the density of aluminium that is why the volume of the aluminium will be more than the volume of the lead for same weight.So aluminium will displace the water but lead will not displace the water.

So the answer is ,lead does not displace the water.
