Answer: D. An action-reaction force pair
Explanation: When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body. There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. Another example would be a person pushing against a wall (action force), and the wall exerts an equal and opposite force against the person.
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
because its final velocity is zero.
For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.
Answer:
When the air pressure in the throat and outside the body is less than the air pressure in the middle ear, barotrauma occurs.
Explanation:
Ear barotrauma is a medical condition that describes discomfort in the ear which is caused by pressure differences in the inner and outer ear drum.
Usually, the air pressure in the middle ear is the same as the air pressure in the throat and outside the body.
When we swallow, the eustachian tube opens up and air flows out of and into the middle ear, this balances the pressure. But if the eustachian tube is blocked, the air pressure in the throat and outer body become different from the air pressure in the middle ear.
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>
The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;
The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.
