Which of these statements is correct about photosynthesis and decomposition?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

A 1.15 kg book is at rest on the table. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the table is exerting on the book?

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

Normal force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Normal force = 1.15 x 9.8 = 11.27N

Un puente de acero de 100 m de largo a 8° C aumenta su temperatura a 24°C ¿Cuánto medirá su longitud? Valor del coeficiente de d

BartSMP [9]

La longitud final del puente de acero es 100.018 metros.

Asumamos que la dilatación térmica experimentada por el puente de acero es pequeña, de modo que podemos emplear la siguiente aproximación lineal para determinar la longitud final del puente de acero ( $L$ ), en metros:

$L = L_{o}\cdot [1+\alpha\cdot (T_{f}-T_{o})]$ (1)

Donde:

$L_{o}$ - Longitud inicial del puente, en metros.
$\alpha$ - Coeficiente de dilatación, sin unidad.
$T_{o}$ - Temperatura inicial, en grados Celsius.
$T_{f}$ - Temperatura final, en grados Celsius.

Si tenemos que $L_{o} = 100\,m$ , $\alpha = 11.5\times 10^{-6}$ , $T_{o} = 8\,^{\circ}C$ y $T_{f} = 24\,^{\circ}C$ , entonces la longitud final del puente de acero es:
