Answer:

The answer is d) They provide means by which air can enter the soil and reach the roots of plants.

Explanation:

The rodents have a great variety in terms of their shapes, sizes and weights, there are small ones such as the pygmy mouse (<em>Baiomys musculus</em>), even giant animals such as the capybara (<em>Hidrochaeris hydrochaeris</em>), they can have short, silky fur like the silky bag mouse ( <em>Perognathus flavus</em>) or long and hirsute hair like thorns like the prehensile tropical porcupine pig (<em>Coendu mexicanus</em>).

Rodents are very important organisms within ecosystems as they provide various benefits, an example of this is that many rodents scratch the ground for the construction of their burrows, soil aeration and water infiltration, which promotes growth of the plants, as well as introducing organic matter to the subsoil making them more fertile.

The vibrations along a transverse wave move in a direction _________.
GrogVix [38]

Answer: perpendicular to it oscillations.

Explanation: A transverse wave is a wave whose oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

By perpendicular, we mean that the wave is oscillating on the vertical axis (y) of a Cartesian plane and the vibration is along the horizontal axis (x) of the plane.

Examples of transverse waves includes wave in a string, water wave and light.

Let us take a wave in a string for example, you tie one end of a string to a fixed point and the other end is free with you holding it.

If you move the rope vertically ( that's up and down) you will notice a kind of wave traveling away from you ( horizontally) to the fixed point.

Since the oscillations is perpendicular to the direction of wave, it is a transverse wave

How do longshore currents shape the land?
Sonbull [250]
Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the
Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised  from T to T'.

Hence specific heat  of a substance is calculated as-

                                              c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

An alternative to CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs are light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. A 16-W LED bulb can replace a 100-W inc
Yanka [14]

Answer:

LED bulb = 0.145 A

Incandescent bulb = 0.909 A

CFL bulb = 0.218 A

Explanation:

Given:

Power rating of LED bulb (P₁) = 16 W

Power rating of incandescent bulb (P₂) = 100 W

Power rating of CFL bulb (P₃) = 24 W

Terminal voltage across the circuit (V) = 110 V

We know that, power is related to terminal voltage and current drawn as:

P=VI

Express this in terms of 'I'. This gives,

I=\frac{P}{V}

Now, calculate the current drawn in each bulb using their respective values.

For LED bulb, P_1=16\ W, V=110\ V

So, current drawn is given as:

I_1=\frac{16\ W}{110\ V}=0.145\ A

For incandescent bulb, P_2=100\ W, V=110\ V

So, current drawn is given as:

I_2=\frac{100\ W}{110\ V}=0.909\ A

For CFL bulb, P_3=24\ W, V=110\ V

So, current drawn is given as:

I_3=\frac{24\ W}{110\ V}=0.218\ A

Therefore, the currents drawn through LED bulb, incandescent bulb and CFL bulb are 0.145 A, 0.909 A and 0.218 A respectively.
