Answer:

The correlation based on one source of estimates of temperatures and CO2 levels (namely the Vostok data) is <em>positive</em> with an R^2 coefficient of about 0.75.

Explanation

There are only few sources of data for us to estimate this correlation over long periods of time. One of these are the "Vostok" ice core data that span some 400 thousand years of estimated temperature and CO2 levels (https://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/trends/co2/vostok.html). A paper referenced below shows the coefficient of determination of 0.75.

It should be pointed out that a correlation, and even more so causality between historical CO2 and temperatures has been subject of an ongoing scientific debate. This debate is further compounded by politically motivated factors. So it remains to be added: use care adopting conclusions of others in this active field of science, try to perform own analysis of raw/original sources yourself, whenever possible.

A piece of silicon sample has a resistivity of 0.1 ω.Cm. Its thickness is 100µm. The electron mobility is 1350cm 2 v -1sec-1. Wh

lawyer [7]

The answer is Rh = 135 cm^3 and B = 0.05185 wh/m^2

Explanation:

Resitivity of silicon = 0.1

thickness = 100um

so, I = ma

Required to find out concentration of electron , we know that

Rh = up

By putting in the values,

Rh = 1350 x 0.1

Rh = 135 cm^3

Now consider,

Rh = 1 / Rh.q

= 1 / Rh . q

= 1 / 135 x1.609 x10^-19

= 4.6037 x 10^16 / cm^3

Vh = BIRh / w

B = Vh w/ IRh

B = -70 x10^-6 x 100 x10^-6 / 1x 10^-3 x 135 x 10^-6

B = 0.05185 wh / m^2

Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a

which makes the acceleration of each car a

From the question we are told that

Considering the second car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F_{T2} = ma$

Considering the first car

The force causing it s movement is mathematically represented as

$F = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma$

=> $F_{T1} -ma = ma$

=> $F_{T1} = 2 ma$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{ma} = 2$

=> $\frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}} = 2$

Identify how the energy flows up through the ecosystem. Describe how decomposers help to cycle matter in an ecosystem and their

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, they carry out decomposition, a process possible by only certain kingdoms, such as fungi. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development. While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores ingest and digest dead matter internally, while decomposers directly absorb nutrients through external chemical and biological processes. Thus, invertebrates such as earthworms, woodlice, and sea cucumbers are technically detritivores, not decomposers, since they must ingest nutrients - they are unable to absorb them externally.

Tema [17]

Answer:

The time it would take the beef to reach a temperature of 0⁰C is t= 662 sec = 11.93 min

The time it would take to heat the beef to uniform temperature of 80⁰C is

t = 365 sec =5.93 min

Efficient absorption of Microwave power is in regions of liquid water . Hence if the food or the microwave irradiation is not uniform, the power will be absorbed non-uniformly, resulting in a non-uniform temperature rise. Defrost region will absorb more energy per unit volume than frozen region.if food is of low thermal conductivity, there will be insufficient time for heat conduction to make the temperature more uniform.Use of low power allows more time for conduction to occur.
