Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Desertification is usually defined as the process by which a productive land is transformed into a desert. This process occurs mainly in the arid, semi-arid as well as in the dry sub-humid areas, where there occurs less amount of rainfall and presence of less or no moisture content in the air.

It is caused by various processes, such as-

  • Cutting down of trees, in order to make urban areas.
  • Lack of rainfall.
  • Overgrazing of animals.
  • Low level of groundwater.
  • Forest-fire can also lead to desertification, as the trees are burned by this process.
  • Soil erosion also is a major cause.
  • It also occurs due to changes that occur in the climate of the area.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

How is the 3rd law different from the 1st and 2nd laws?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

<h2>Question no. 1: </h2><h3>Answer: </h3>

Controlled experiment is an experiment which is designed to test a variable, which can be changed during the experiment.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Hence in this experiment, the importance of experiment is being tested, as it is added only in one set of plant.

A manipulated variable is an independent variable whose amount can be changed during an experiment.

Here the fertilizer is a manipulated variable.

<h2>Question 2: </h2><h3>Answer: </h3>

Because theory is the most organised statement proved by a set of independent experiments.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Hypothesis is the initial idea on which basis different experiments are conducted. But if 1 experiment succeeded and it supports the hypothesis, hypothesis do not become a theory.

For a theory, different experiments are necessary which supports that hypothesis.

<h2>Question no 4. </h2><h3>Answer: </h3>

Density = 1.909 kg/m3

<h2>Explanation: </h2>

Given data:

Mass of the object = 42 kg

Volume of the object = 22 m3

Density of the object = ?

Solution

Density = mass/volume

Density =42/22 = 1.909

Density = 1.909 kg/m3

<u><em>Hence the density of the object is 1.909 and its unit is kg/m3 which is system international unit of density. </em></u>

<h2>Question 5. </h2><h3>Answer: </h3>

Chlorine and water in swimming pool are mixed in such a way that there composition remains same throughout the mixture. And chlorine cannot be separated back from water. This is the homogeneous mixture.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>
  • A homogeneous mixture is a mixture of more than one substance which are mixed together in such a way that they cannot be separated and the composition of the mixture remains same throughout the mixture.
  • Example of homogeneous solution is sugar solution in water.
  • As for swimming pool cleaning chlorine is added in pool water, it mixes in the whole water by diffusion. Hence it is a homogeneous mixture.
<h2>Question no. 6. </h2><h3>Answer: </h3>

Because physical change does not include composition change, it includes change in physical parameters. And in splicing tomato only change in shape is done.

<h3>Explanation: </h3>
  • Chemical change means irreversible chemical composition change like the burning of toast.
  • Physical change means reversible or irreversible change in shape, volume density without change in chemical composition.
  • Splicing tomato comes under 2nd category because it does not include chemical change.

Jack D. Ripper flipped out after missing a Must-Do-It question for the third time on his Minds On Physics assignment. Outraged b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the velocity after the 4 gram pencil strikes is v .

kinetic energy of the combination = 1/2 m v²

= .5 x ( 4 + 221 ) x 10⁻³ x v² = work done by friction

friction force acting on the combination = 225 x10⁻³x  .325 x 9.8 = .7166 N

work done by friction

= .7166 x .119 = .085 J

.5 x 225 x 10⁻³ v² = .085

v² = .085 / .1125 = .7555

v = .8692 m = 86.92 cm /s

Velocity of combination after collision = 86.92 cm /s

Let velocity of pencil before collision be V

Applying law of conservation of momentum at the time of collision ,

4 x V = 225 x 86.92

V = 4889.25 cm / s

= 48.9 m /s .

A child on a tricycle is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.25 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The work done by the child as the tricycle travels down the incline is 416.96 J

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the child, v_i = 1.4 m/s

final velocity of the child, v_f = 6.5 m/s

initial height of the inclined plane, h = 2.25 m

length of the inclined plane, L = 12.4 m

total mass, m = 48 kg

frictional force, f_k = 41 N

The work done by the child is calculated as;

\Delta E_{mech} = W - f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \Delta E_{mech}  + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = (K.E_f - K.E_i) + (P.E_f - P.E_i) + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} m(v_f^2 - v_i^2) + mg(h_f - h_i) + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} \times 48(6.5^2 - 1.4^2) + 48\times 9.8(0-2.25) + (41\times 12.4)\\\\W = 966.96  \ - \ 1058.4 \ + \ 508.4\\\\W = 416.96 \ J

Therefore, the work done by the child as the tricycle travels down the incline is 416.96 J
