The answer is It protects the seed until it matures.

Through the process of elimination:
- It protects the seed until it matures. YES. A female pine cone the unfertilized seeds until they become mature. Then, the cone opens and seeds fall out of the cone.

- It makes food for the adult plant. NO. The food of plants in made of green leaves that contain chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis.
- It allows for photosynthesis to occur. NO. The cones have nothing to do with photosynthesis but they are responsible for reproduction.
- It acts as an object to attract birds. NO. The birds look for colourful flowers while cones are woody.
- It serves as an ornamental object on the tree. NO. Every part of plants has more important function than serving as an ornamental object.

If you use a force of 90 N to pick up a 10 pound bag of charcoal, what is the acceleration?

hjlf

Answer:

9ms^2

Explanation:

since ,Force=mass*acceleration

then, acceleration=force/mass

and, Force=90N

Mass=10pound

therefore, acceleration=90/10

=9ms^2

A generator produces 60 A of current at 120 V. The voltage is usually stepped up to 4500 V by a transformer and transmitted thro

aalyn [17]

Answer:

The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current = 60 A

Voltage = 120 V

Resistance = 1.0 ohm

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

$P=I\times V$

Where,I =current

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$P=60\times120$

$P=7200\ W$

We need to calculate the percentage power lost in the transmission line

If the voltage is not stepped up

Then, the power loss

$P'=I^2\times R$

Put the value into the formula

$P'=(60)^2\times1$

$P'=3600\ W$

The percentage power loss P''

$P''=\dfrac{P'}{P}\times100=\dfrac{3600}{7200}\times100$

$P''=50\%$

Hence, The percentage power lost in the transmission line if the voltage not stepped up is 50%.

2. Learners give priority to evidence, allowing them to develop and
evaluate explanations that address scientifically-oriented questions.
3. earners formulate explanations form evidence to address scientifically

An object is 30 cm in front of a converging lens with a focal length of 10 cm. Use ray tracing to determine the location of the

poizon [28]

Answer:

Inverted

Real

Explanation:

u = Object distance = 30 cm

v = Image distance

f = Focal length = 10 cm

Lens Equation

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{v}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{15}\\\Rightarrow v=15\ cm$

As, the image distance is positive the image is real and forms on the other side of the lens

$m=-\frac{v}{u}\\\Rightarrow m=-\frac{-15}{30}\\\Rightarrow m=-0.5$

As, the magnification is negative the image is inverted
