Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

Write the equation expressing the relationship "y varies directly as x." use k as the constant of proportionality.

Alexeev081 [22]

The equation expressing the statement "y varies directly as x" is $y=kx.$

Explanation

The statement that $y$ varies directly as $x$ is analogous to saying that the ratio of $y$ to $x$ is constant. In other words, when $x$ increases, $y$ likewise increases and that when $x$ decreases, $y$ decreases proportionally.

Mathematically, we express the relationship that the ration of $y$ is to $x$ is constant is expressed as; $\frac{y}{x} =k$ where $k$ is the constant of proportionality.

We can then solve the relationship for $y$ to determine the correct form of the relationship as shown below,

$\frac{y}{x} =k\\\rightarrow y=kx$

A secret agent is locked in a room. He pushes against the door but cannot open it. Finally, he falls to the floor exhausted. Has

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: There is not work done at the door because the door did not move.

Explanation: Work is defined as the movement done by a force.

So if you move to apply a force F in an object and you move it a distance D, the work applied on the object is

W = F*D

In this case, the secret agent pushes against the door, so there is a force, but the agent does not move the door, so D = 0, so there is no motion of the door, which implies that there is no work done at the door.

The wavelength of light that has a frequency of 1.20 × 1013 s-1 is ________ m.

klio [65]

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is
$c=f \lambda$
where
f is the frequency
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
$c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light.

For the light in our problem, the frequency is $f=1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}$ , so its wavelength is (re-arranging the previous formula)
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.20 \cdot 10^{13} s^{-1}}= 2.5 \cdot 10^{-5}m$

Anna Litical analyzes the force between a planet and its moon, varying the mass of

Travka [436]

Answer:

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

Explanation:

Given:

Trial 1

M₁ = 6·10²² kg

d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м

Trial 2

M₂ = 6·10²² kg

d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

Trial 3

M₃ = 3·10²² kg

d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

___________

F - ?

Gravitational force:

F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m (N)

F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m (N)

F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m (N)

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest
