Can someone explain what a medium is in science I don’t understand please help

Biology

timofeeve [1]3 years ago

The "medium" is the substance or material that carries a mechanical wave. One of the most important things to remember about waves is that they transport energy, not matter. This makes them different from other phenomenon in physics.

For simple definitions, visit the following website:

Jim's heart rate was monitored during periods of exercise and periods of rest. The graph shows the result of one 50-minute
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape".

Explanation:

I attached the missing graph and the missing options of this question are:

Jim’s heart rate was 60 beats per minute at the start of the test.

Jim’s maximum heart rate during the test was 140 beats per minute.

Jim’s heart rate increased steadily as he continued exercising.

Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape.

The correct answer is "Jim’s heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes since he is in good shape".

While the first two statements are correct, since they point out data from the graph, the only statement that makes an inference based on the information of the graph is the last one. An inference is a conclusion that was reached base on evidence. In this case, the inference is that Jim is in good shape, and the evidence that was used to reach this conclusion is that his heart rate decreased quickly after 30 minutes.

Which energy pyramid cannot be inverted?
KIM [24]
A pyramid of energy can never be inverted because energy decreases by tenfold each level. This can't be reversed because energy can't just increase by tenfold. It has to come from somewhere.

58:57 What would most likely happen to life on Earth if the carbon cycle stopped? Life would continue unchanged. Life would ceas
Naddik [55]

Answer: Life would cease to exist.

Explanation:

The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.

Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.

Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:

--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.

--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes

--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.

All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.
