Answer: Rainfall and temperature can affect the rate in which rocks weather. High temperatures = more rainfall increasing the rate of chemical weathering. Rocks in tropical regions exposed to a lot of rainfall and hot temperatures weather faster than similar rocks in cold, dry climates.
Explanation:
Answer:
A first-class lever: fulcrum is between input and output force; second-class lever: output force is between input force and fulcrum; third-class lever: input force is between fulcrum and output force
Answer:5.075N
Explanation:
Mass=0.145kg
Acceleration=35m/s^2
Force=mass x acceleration
Force=0.145 x 35
Force=5.075N
Answer: B. development of female sex
Development of female sex characteristic is not associated with the amount of cortisol in the body.
Explanation:
Cortisol is a steroid hormone secreted by the adrenal gland. It facilitates stress response, regulates blood sugar level and helps fight infections. High cortisol level leads to Cushing syndrome and low cortisol level leads to Addison disease.
Obesity is a symptom of Cushing syndrome while weight loss is a symptom of Addison disease. Thus levels of cortisol can affect body weight as well. When in a stressful situation, our body pumps excess cortisol.
Cortisol level in our body is generally high in the mornings and low in the midnight.
A heat pump is a device that is capable of transferring heat energy from a source of heat to what is known as the heat sink. It also moves thermal energy in the opposite direction of a spontaneous heat transfer through heat absorption from a cold space and releasing it to a warmer space.
When a heat pump is being utilized for heating, it employs the same principle with that of the refrigeration cycle used by an air conditioner or a refrigerator, but in the opposite direction since it releases heat into a conditioned space rather than the surrounding environment. Moreover, heat pump resembles much as refrigeration since it has the same components with the latter except for the presence of a reverse valve.
