Answer:

Tundra Biome

Explanation:

Permafrost is a type of soil that is frozen all year round. It consists of rocks, soils and ice. The ice or frost holds the earth materials together.

The tundra biome lies below the arctic circle close to the north pole. Most of the earth here is predominantly frozen all year round. A layer of glacier covers  the surface and a deep lying layer of permafrost follows suit.

Some mountain tops capped with ice shows this tundra features.

Most tundras are termed cold deserts as they have little to no precipitation all year round. There is absence of vegetation cover as a result of low growing season of the plants.

A car moving with an initial speed v collides with a second stationary car that is one-half as massive. After the collision the
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

4v/3

Explanation:

Assume elastic collision by the law of momentum conservation:

m_1v = m_1v_1 + m_2v_2

where v is the original speed of car 1, v1 is the final speed of car 1 and v2 is final speed of car 2. m1 and m2 are masses of car 1 and car 2, respectively

Substitute m_2 = m_1/2 \& v_1 = v/3

m_1v = \frac{m_1v}{3} + \frac{m_1v_2}{2}

Divide both side by m_1, then multiply by 6 we have

6v = 2v + 3v_2

3v_2 = 4v

v_2 = \frac{4v}{3}

So the final speed of the second car is 4/3 of the first car original speed

player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the hor
seropon [69]

Answer

22.5 m/s

Explanation

We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.

cos 30° = horizontal / 26

horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°

                                = 26 × 0.866

                                = 22.5166

                                 = 22.5 m/s

What symbol represents energy that moves from a hot object to a cooler object?
strojnjashka [21]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) Q

In fact, the symbol Q represents the heat, which is the form of energy transferred from a hot object to a cooler object. Heat generally refers to the energy related to the motion of the particles, and it is related to the temperature of an object: the higher the temperature of an object, the faster the particles of the object move, and so the object can transfer more energy (as heat) to other objects with lower temperature.</span>
