That statement is false. It's exactly the opposite direction.

In circular motion, the "centripetal" force ... and therefore the centripetal acceleration ... points TOWARD the center.

Yakvenalex [24]
From that list of choices, infrared radiation is the only one with wavelengths
longer than the wavelengths of visible light.  Those of X-rays, and gamma rays
are shorter than visible wavelengths.  Cosmic rays are high energy subatomic
particles, not electromagnetic waves.

If a pendulum clock keeps perfect time at the base of a mountain, will it also keep perfect time when it is moved to the tip of
vazorg [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The period of a pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

We see that the period of the pendulum depends on the value of g. However, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different at different locations on Earth. In particular, at the top of the mountain the value of g is slightly lower than the value of g at the base of the mountain; in fact, g is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance from the Earth's center

so since r is greater at the top of the mountain, g is lower, and therefore the period of the pendulum will be slightly longer.

Trees are part of the biosphere. They need water to survive. They take in water from the soil through their roots and release wa
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

The hydrosphere represents the total amount of water on earth. Soil water is part of the hydrosphere.

The lithosphere represents the varieties of rocks present on the planet, including their weathered part which is the soil.

The atmosphere represents the different gas layers surrounding the earth.

The biosphere represents the portion of the earth that supports life.

<em>When soil water moves into the tree through the roots of the tree, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere and the biosphere are interacting all together. When the some of the water taken in is released to the atmosphere as vapor through evapotranspiration, it represents an interaction with the atmosphere.</em>
