Answer:

ice caps is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The largest source of available freshwater on Earth is ice caps.

Freshwater is a naturally occurring water and concentration of the dissolved salts is low.

Fresh water carries water in ice caps as the largest sources and water in glaciers, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, ice sheets.

Antarctica contains 90% of the fresh water on the Earth's surface but it is iced in the form of the ice caps.

A coin 15.0 mm in diameter is placed 15.0 cm from a spherical mirror. The coin's image is 5.0 mm in diameter and is erect. Is th

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

15 cm

Explanation:

$h_{o}$ = Diameter of the coin = 15 mm

$h_{i}$ = Diameter of the image of coin = 5 mm

$d_{o}$ = distance of the coin from mirror = 15 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image of coin from mirror = ?

Using the equation

$\frac{d_{i}}{d_{o}} = \frac{- h_{i}}{h_{o}}$

$\frac{d_{i}}{15} = \frac{- (5)}{15}$

$d_{i}$ = - 5 cm

$R$ = radius of curvature

Using the mirror equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{2}{R}$

$\frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{- 5} = \frac{2}{R}$

$R$ = - 15 cm

If a cart goes around a turn at 20 km/h ,what remains constant

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 4.speed

Explanation:

In this case, we know that the cart remains at a constant 20km/h.

Now, one could say that "the velocity remains constant, because it always is 20km/h"

But remember that velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, and if the cart is going around a turn, then the direction of motion is changing, which tell us that there is acceleration.

But the module of the velocity, the speed, remains constant at 20km/h.

Then the correct option is 4, speed.

A 174 pound Jimmy Cheek is riding on a 54 ft diameter Ferris Wheel. The normal force on Jimmy Cheek is 146 pounds when Jimmy is

Veronika [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the balance of Forces, the centripetal Force and Newton's second law.

I will also attach a free body diagram that allows a better understanding of the problem.

For there to be a balance between weight and normal strength, these two must be equivalent to the centripetal Force, therefore

$F_c = W-N$

$m\omega^2r = W-N$

Here,

m = Net mass

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

r = Radius

W = Weight

N = Normal Force

$m\omega^2r = 174-146$

The net mass is equivalent to

$F = mg \rightarrow m = \frac{F}{g}$

Then,

$m = \frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2}$

Replacing we have then,

$(\frac{174lb}{32.17ft/s^2})\omega^2 (54ft) =174lb-146lb$

Solving to find the angular velocity we have,

$\omega = 0.309rad/s$

Therefore the angular velocity is 0.309rad/s
