Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.

What is the answer to this problem
vredina [299]

420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.

Explanation:

As from the picture, it can be seen that first the skier moved from position A to position B. And the distance covered by this movement is 180 m. Then as the skier travels from position B to position C, the distance between these two positions is 140 m from the figure. As distance is a scalar quantity, the direction is not taken into consideration. So only the magnitudes of the distance between those points are added.

Now, the distance between A to B is 180 m and then from B to C is 140 m,  atlast from C to D, the distance is given as 100 m.

So, the total distance will be the sum of all the above found distances. Thus, the total distance will be 180+140+100 = 420 m.

As the question is about distance, so no need to write the direction for it.

Thus, the final answer will be 420 m of total distance is covered by the skier on travelling from A to D.

What is the metric unit used to measure length? Mass? Volume? Temperature? List one tool used to measure each type of measuremen
Harrizon [31]

Length

The metric unit used to measure length in International System (SI) is meter and it is represented by letter m.

Length can be measured by a metric scale.

Mass

The metric unit used to measure Mass in International System (SI) is Kilograms and it is represented by letter Kg.

Mass can be measured by an instrument called Balance.

Volume

The metric unit used to measure Volume in International System (SI) is Liter and it is represented by letter l.

Volume can be measured by a container called graduated cylinder.

Temperature

The metric unit used to measure Temperature in International System (SI) is Kelvin and it is represented by letter K.

Temprature is measured by most common divice called thermometer.

Which of the following would have the greatest force? 1. an object with low mass accelerating slowly 2. an object with low mass
coldgirl [10]
An object with high mass accelerating quickly. Assuming the objects have the same volume, the third choice will be the most dense, and therefore will take a longer time and a stronger opposite force to slow it down to a complete stop due to its high acceleration rate, as well.

Pretty good for a 13 year old, huh? :D
