most common source of phosphates in the soil is the weathering of the mineral apatite.

Explanation:

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals like hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite. When apatite rocks weather, they release the phosphate minerals mainly in the form of PO₄ ³⁻ . These minerals become dissolved in water (hydrosphere), where they are readily available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere. The phosphates are taken up and used in biosynthesis. When these organisms die and become buried with sediments, the phosphate gets back to the lithosphere as sedimentary rock.

(II) How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 46.0-kg crate 10.3 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if

Gwar [14]

Answer:

2324 J

Explanation:

The formula for work is:

$W=F*d$

where $F$ is the force applied, and $d$ is the distance moved, in this case $d=10.3m$

and we need to find $F.$

Since the crate is not moving up or down, we conclude that the <u>normal force must be equal to the weight </u>of the object:

$N=w$

where $N$ is the normal force and $w$ is the weight, which is: $w=mg$ , where g is the gravitational acceleration $g=9,81m/s^2$ and $m$ is the mass $m=46kg$ .
