The correct answer is
a) <span>ocean basins getting smaller or water being removed from the hydrological cycle.
When ocean basins get smaller, there is less water in the oceans, and so the sea level falls down. Similarly, if water is removed from the hydrological cycle, there is less water going back to the oceans via precipitations (or coming from the land), therefore the sea level decreases.</span>
Answer:
I think the answer is D,54 joules
Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

now the acceleration is given as


so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass
so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use


now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size
Divide CFU of Dilution. Divide the CFU of the dilution (the number of colonies you counted) by the result from step 4. For this example, you work out 46 ÷ 1/1000, which is the same as 46 x 1,000. The result is 46,000 CFU in the original sample.
