Answer:

d) Gravity, a normal force, and kinetic friction

Explanation:

  • When the bobsledder pushes her sled across horizontal snow to get it going, after she jumps into the sled there acts a force of gravity on the total mass of the sled including the bobsledder.
  • The sled moves horizontally and not vertically this means that there is a normal force acting in the vertically upward direction opposite to the gravity.
  • While the sled moves on the horizontal surface and comes to the rest there acts a kinetic frictional force on the body in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

Which of these statements is correct about photosynthesis and decomposition?
Ede4ka [16]
<span>The last option. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from the soil and other nutrients also from the soil - salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. They use water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar through photosyntesis. Decomposition is the reaction that converts any organic compound back into inorganic compounds - water, carbon dioxide and salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. So it's basically the opposite. So photosyntesis uses carbon dioxide as a reactive and take it from the atmosphere, whereas decomposition generates carbon dioxide as a product and releases it to the atmosphere.</span>

Please Help!!! An engine takes 3,000 J from a hot reservoir and expels 2,400 J to a cold reservoir. What is the thermal efficien
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Thermal efficiency is a measure of the extent to which a heat engine is able to convert to other form. It is measure in percentage.

Thermal efficiency = \frac{E_{out} }{E_{in} } × 100%

Where E_{in} is the input energy and E_{out} is the output energy.

Given that: E_{in} = 2400 J and  E_{out} = 3000 J, therefore:

Thermal efficiency = \frac{2400}{3000} × 100%

                               = 80%

The thermal efficiency of the engine is 80%.
