1) B
The sun transfers energy to the earth via radiation. This radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation so it heats your skin direclty
2) B
The waves' energy is transferred to you and you lose your footing and fall

a hippopotamus produces a pressure of 250000 pa when it is standing on all four feet if the weight of the hippo is 40000 N what

mamaluj [8]

0.04m²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure = 250000Pa

Weight = 40000N

Unknown:

Area of each foot = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force exerted per unit area of a body

Pressure = $\frac{force}{area}$

To find the area;

Area = $\frac{force }{pressure}$

Area = $\frac{40000}{250000}$ = 0.16m²

The force exerted by all the four feet is 0.16m²

the area of each feet = $\frac{0.16}{4}$ = 0.04m²

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q 8q / L²

Q = 8q (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 11.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 minutes

Distance = 11.0 m

Pressure = 101.3 kPa

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the speed of the water

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gs$

Where, u = speed of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$0=u^2-2\times9.8\times11.0$

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times11.0}$

$u=14.68\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Which statements describe using genetic factors to influence the growth of organisms? Select the three (3) that apply.

Damm [24]

Answer:

- increasing use of hybrid crops

- altering genes in DNA to create new plants

- developing disease or pest resistant crops

Explanation:

The use of genetic factors to influence the growth of a plant encompasses manipulating the genetic constituent (gene) of such plant.

For example,

- Increasing use of hybrid crops entails mating two pure bred plants based on a gene of interest responsible for a particular trait, to form a hybrid.

- Altering genes in DNA to create new plants is also a genetic factor as it has to with gene modification.

- developing disease or pest resistant crops means that the genetic make up of such plant has been modified to be resistant to pest/disease.
