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 wish to warm 100 kg of water by 20°C for your bath, how much heat is required? (Give your answer in calories and joules.)

taurus [48]

Q = mcθ

Where m = mass of water in kg.
c = specific heat capacity in kJ/kg⁰C, c for water = 4200 kJ/kg⁰C
θ = temperature rise in ⁰C

Q = 100*4200* 20 Note here the temperature rise is 20 ⁰C
Q = 8 400 000 J

In calories, 4.2 J = 1 Calorie
= 8 400 000 / 4.2 = 200 000

Q = 200 000 Calories

A proton travels with a speed of 5.02×10⁶ m/s in a direction that makes an angle of 60.0° with the direction of a magnetic ficld

lesantik [10]

Answer: The magnitude of the proton's acceleration is 0.748 ×10^14 m/s²

Explanation:
the velocity ,v, of ththe proton = 5.02×10^6 m/s
Magnitude , B , of the magnetic field = 0.180 T

First , we need to find the magnitude of the Force on the proton. This is given by the relation :
F = q(v x B) = qvBsinθ

where 'q' is the charge of proton , q= 1.6×10^-19 C
θ is the angle the proton makes with the direction of the magnetic field

Putting the respective values of v, B ,θ in the above equation, we get:

F = (1.6×10^-19 C)(5.02×10^6 m/s)(0.180T) sin60°
∴ F = 1.25 ×10^-13 N

Now , from Newton's second law we know that ,
F=m×a

∴ a = F/m

Mass of a proton = 1.67×10^27 kg
a= 1.25 × 10^-13 N / 1.67 × 10^27 kg

a= 0.748 × 10^14 m/s² =acceleration of the proton

In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it convergs at

ella [17]

Answer:

1) In a concave mirror parallel rays falling on it converges at F and 2F.

Explanation:

Spherical mirrors can be used for magnification of images. There are basically two types of spherical mirrors and they are converging mirror and diverging mirrors. The converging mirrors are also termed as concave mirrors and its basic work is to converge or combine light rays coming from a larger distance to a single point. Mostly the light beams falling parallel to the principle axis of the concave mirror will be acting as parallel rays. And when these parallel rays fall on the mirror, the converging point can be the focal point of the mirror.

Thus the location of converging point in concave mirrors will be based on the position or distance of object from the mirror. If the object distance is very far from the twice the focal length distance of mirror, then the converging point will be the focal point or F. And if the object is placed slightly greater than twice the distance of focal point, then the image will be obtained at 2F. But the parallel beams will be converging at F and 2F.

PLEASE HELP ME!

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) A = 3 cm, b) T = 0.4 s, f = 2.5 Hz,

2) A standing wave the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains

Explanation:

a) in an oscillatory movement the amplitude is the highest value of the signal in this case

A = 3 cm

b) the period of oscillation is the time it takes for the wave to repeat itself in this case

T = 0.4 s

the period is the inverse of the frequency

f = 1 /T

f = 1 /, 0.4

f = 2.5 Hz

2) a traveling wave is a wave for which as time increases the displacement increases, in the case of a transverse wave the oscillation is perpendicular to the displacement and in the case of a longitudinal wave the oscillation is in the same direction of the displacement.

A standing wave occurs when a traveling wave bounces off some object and there are two waves, one that travels in one direction and the other that travels in the opposite direction. In this case, the displacement of the wave is canceled and only one oscillation remains.

A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120

alexdok [17]

Answer:

12 V, 0.5 A

Explanation:

For the Voltage,

Using,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np.......................... Equation 1

Where Vs = Voltage in the secondary coil, Vp = Voltage in the primary coil, Ns = number of turn in the secondary coil, Np = number of turns in the primary coil.

Make Vs the subject of the equation

Vs = Vp(Ns/Np)........................ Equation 2

Given: Vp = 120 v, Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns

Substitute into equation 2

Vs = 120(100/1000)

Vs = 120×0.1

Vs = 12 v

For the current,

Using

Ns/Np = Ip/Is....................... Equation 3

Where Ip = current in the primary coil, Is = current in the secondary coil

make Is the subject of the equation

Is = Ip(Np/Ns).................. Equation 4

Given: Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns, Ip = 0.05 A

Substitute into equation 4

Is = 0.05(1000/100)

Is = 0.05×10

Is = 0.5 A.

Hence the voltage and the current in the secondary coil is 12 V, 0.5 A
