Answer:

A. Using artificial fertilizers instead of composting

Explanation:

Composting is actually more better than fertilizers usually, as it takes natural waste and with help of nature, returning the nutrients into soil once again. However, Artificial fertilizers usually uses chemicals to ensure that weed does not grow, and may contain other "unnatural" ingredients to ensure that only the crop grows on the field. Because of the usage of non-natural ingredients, any run-off can prove to be detrimental to any animals that eat any of the run-off infected material, or drink the polluted water.

Explanation: Using artificial fertilizers instead of composting is one of the main causes of water pollution. When it rains the artificial fertiliser will run into lakes, ponds, or any other body of water. The water will then be polluted with chemicals. Composting will not do this. There are no chemicals in compost.

Nataly_w [17]

Baking a cake creates a endothermic reaction. When heated, the baking soda/powder reacts, the eggs change form, and everything else follows suit. The baking soda/powder creates the rising of the cake.

A solid block is attached to a spring scale. When the block is suspended in air, the scale reads 20.1 N; when it is completely i

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

A) $V = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) $d = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

A) Using the Archimedes' force we can find the weight of water displaced:

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w}$

Where:

$W_{a}$ : is the weight of the block in the air = 20.1 N

$W_{w}$ : is the weight of the block in the water = 15.3 N

$W_{d} = W_{a} - W_{w} = 20.1 N - 15.3 N = 4.8 N$

Now, the mass of the water displaced is:

$m = \frac{W_{d}}{g} = \frac{4.8 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.49 kg$

The volume of the block can be found using the mass of water displaced and the density of the water:

$V = \frac{m}{d} = \frac{0.49 kg}{997 kg/m^{3}} = 4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3} = 492 cm^{3}$

B) The density of the block can be found as follows:

$d = \frac{W_{a}}{g*V} = \frac{20.1 N}{9.81 m/s^{2}*4.92 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{3}} = 4181.49 kg/m^{3} = 4.18 g/cm^{3}$

I hope it helps you!

A group of scientists have obtained some experimental results.

topjm [15]

<span>In order best to find out whether the obtained experimental results are worth mor etime and resources the group of scientists should present their results (could be done also in poster session) to other scientists in order to hear their opinion and get a feedback. The shoudl also ask another researchers to redo the experiments and to compare the results. </span>

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.

From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
