Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Sun is star present in Our Solar System around which Earth revolves. Earth is the third planet in Our Solar system and is the only planet on which life exists.

The existence of life on Earth is because of the Sun. It plays a very important role. Sun helps the earth to keep moving in a fixed orbit because of the gravitational attraction towards the Sun. It also supports the processes of water cycle on Earth by evaporating the water.

The climate and temperature conditions on Earth is due to the Sun only.

Plate tectonics is the theory which states that the Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates which glide over the mantle. There is no role of Sun to play in the process of plate tectonics.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

Oxana [17]
It is true because <span>A pyramid of biomass is a representation of the amount of energy contained in biomass, at different trophic levels for a given point in time . The amount of energy available to one trophic level is limited by the amount stored by the level below. Because energy is lost in the transfer from one level to the next, there is successively less total energy as you move up trophic levels. Tree is a base as it provides food and energy.</span>

Does the refraction of light make a swimming pool seem deeper or shallower? explain your answer.
larisa [96]

The refraction of light makes a swimming pool seem <u>shallower</u>.

The swimming pool seems shallower because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the pool do not come with a straight path. The path of light is straight as long as it is in the water.

When lights come out of the water into the air it bents downwards. This bending is called refraction.

Refraction forms a virtual image of the pool and it seems shallower than it actually is to the observer. This only happens when light travels from one transparent medium into another having lower density.

Timed! I would really appreciate some help! thank you!
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

x = 5[km]

Explanation:

We must convert the time from minutes to hours.

t=30[min]*\frac{1h}{60min}= 0.5[h]\\

We know that speed is defined as the relationship between space and time.

v=x/t

where:

x = space [m]

t = time = 0.5 [h]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 10[\frac{km}{h} ]*0.5[h]\\x=5[km]

Can A positively charged body attract another positively charged body​
andriy [413]

Like charges repel, unlike charges attract

Two protons will also tend to repel each other because they both have a positive charge. On the other hand, electrons and protons will be attracted to each other because of their unlike charges.

So I would say no, unless the two bodies are placed close to each other where one has much more charge than the other, then due to induction, force of attraction becomes more than the force of repulsion.
