Answer:

B. Weber's law.

In other words, the law states that the increment threshold ratio concerning the background intensity is similar.

Irina18 [472]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Supreme Court Justice Holmes once included this statement in a majority opinion: "During wartime, utterances tolerable in peacetime can be punished."  This statement informed the Supreme Court's later decisions on freedom of speech in that in times of war, citizens are not allowed to express comments or critics that could compromise the national security of the country. So in this case, freedom of speech could be suppressed during the time of war.

In the past, there had been incidents that could have compromised the strategy of the war due to some espionage activities. That is why the federal government has to be cautious with the information that is shared during war times.

What is one pathway in the Carbon Cycle?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Organic pathway.

Explanation:

The organic pathway of the carbon cycle moves carbon from the atmosphere, through producers such as plants and algae etc in the process of photosynthesis and back to the atmosphere in the process of respiration of living organisms. In the process of photosynthesis, carbondioxide is taken by the plant from the air to make glucose. When this glucose is eaten by the animals, it again converted into carbondioxide gas in the process of respiration and goes to the atmosphere again.
