The reason why Lake Jackson disappeared is A. opening of a sinkhole.
Pollution, high atmospheric temperature, and absorption of water by the land aren't enough for an entire lake to disappear, however, a sinkhole may contribute to that. There are two major depressions (sinkholes) in this lake in Florida, and they even have their own names - Porter Sink and Lime Sink.

You push your couch a distance of 3.9 m across the living room floor with a horizontal force of 220.0 n. the force of friction i

Mrac [35]

The general formula to calculate the work is:

$W=Fd \cos \theta$

where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.

(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ , therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:

$W=Fd=(220.0 N)(3.9 m)=858 J$

(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore $\theta=180^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=-1$ . Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:

$W=-Fd=-(144.0 N)(3.9 m)=-561.6 J$

(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=0$ : this means

$W=0$ .

(d) Work done by the net force:

The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:

$F=220 N-144 N=76 N$

And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ and $\cos \theta=1$ and the work done is

$W=Fd=(76 N)(3.9 m)=296.4 J$

Label the producers and consumers, then label the different types of consumers.

sdas [7]

The base of the pyramid has the producers and everything else above the base falls under the consumers category i.e the locusts,frogs and the snake. The grass is the producer, the locust is a consumer, the frog is a special type of omnivore, termed the "life-history omnivore" since they eat both plants and animals but at different times in their lives. In this case they are just omnivores and lastly, the snake is a carnivore.

At what rate is soda being sucked out of a cylindrical glass that is 6 in tall and has radius of 2 in? The depth of the soda dec

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out= 3.14 inch³/sec

A typical electric refrigerator has a power rating of 500 Watts, which is the rate (J/s) at which electrical energy is supplied

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is 300 watts.

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics and the definition of a Refrigeration Cycle, we have the following formula to determine the rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator ( $\dot Q_{L}$ ), in watts:
