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.

Which of the following types of radiation can penetrate through paper but not through wood?

andrew-mc [135]

The type of radiation that can penetrate through paper, but not through wood is called beta rays. Beta rays can penetrate paper and air, but a thin piece of alimony can stop it. Gamma can cut through anything except lead and many inches of concrete. Alpha can be stopped by paper and not penetrated. The correct answer is B.

8.) If a car moving at 50km/h skids 15m with locked brakes, how far does the same car moving at 100km/h

pantera1 [17]

(8) A car starting with a speed v skids to a stop over a distance d, which means the brakes apply an acceleration a such that

0² - v² = 2 a d → a = - v² / (2d)

Then the car comes to rest over a distance of

d = - v² / (2a)

Doubling the starting speed gives

- (2v)² / (2a) = - 4v² / (2a) = 4d

so the distance traveled is quadrupled, and it would move a distance of 4 • 15 m = 60 m.

Alternatively, you can explicitly solve for the acceleration, then for the distance:

A car starting at 50 km/h ≈ 13.9 m/s skids to a stop in 15 m, so locked brakes apply an acceleration a such that

0² - (13.9 m/s)² = 2 a (15 m) → a ≈ -6.43 m/s²

So the same car starting at 100 km/h ≈ 27.8 m/s skids to stop over a distance d such that

0² - (27.8 m/s)² = 2 (-6.43 m/s²) d → d ≈ 60 m

(9) Pushing the lever down 1.2 m with a force of 50 N amounts to doing (1.2 m) (50 N) = 60 J of work. So the load on the other end receives 60 J of potential energy. If the acceleration due to gravity is taken to be approximately 10 m/s², then the load has a mass m such that

60 J = m g h

where g = 10 m/s² and h is the height it is lifted, 1.2 m. Solving for m gives

m = (60 J) / ((10 m/s²) (1.2 m)) = 5 kg

(10) Is this also multiple choice? I'm not completely sure, but something about the weight of the tractor seems excessive. It would help to see what the options might be.

Why are atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone together in nature?

nikdorinn [45]

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because they have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you
