Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.

Explanation :

(1) Involuntary muscles are the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(2) Tendons are the connective tissues that join the muscle to bones. Tendons are tissues that have fibers.

(3) Cardiac muscle is also involuntary muscles. For example heart muscle. It shows contraction and relaxation throughout life.

(4) Voluntary muscle is the muscles that are not controlled by our will.

(5) Biceps are the arm muscles.

Hence, this the required explanation as per options.

Type of energy transformed into chemical energy by plants is called type of energy transformed into chemical energy by plants is

yuradex [85]

I think the correct answer is light energy. It is light energy that is transformed into chemical energy by plants by the process called photosynthesis. In this process, plants take in water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and turn them into glucose and oxygen.

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?

nekit [7.7K]

The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

(marking brainliest) pease help asap! both of the questions are in the pdf, and please let me know which is question one and whi

REY [17]

<h2>ANSWERS </h2>

1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.

2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient 

 3)Given Resistance = 250 ohms 

Electric potential = 150 volts 

so we know Power = 

volt^2/Resistance = 

=(150^2/250)(ohms/volts)

=(22500/250)watt = 90 watt 

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)= (90×2)joules = 180 joules
