Answer:

1. Photosynthesis releases oxygen gas as a product.

2. Subtracting cellular respiration from gross primary productivity

3. True

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophic organisms synthesize their food in form of sugars in the presence of sunlight. Photosynthetic process combines carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas as products. The equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

2. Net primary productivity, denoted by NPP, refers to the amount of biomass present in an ecosystem. It can be calculated by subtracting the amount of CO2 lost via cellular respiration from the amount produced called Gross primary productivity (GPP). That is;

NPP = GPP - cellular respiration

3. The process by which organic matter is synthesized from inorganic ones by organisms called AUTOTROPHS or PRIMARY PRODUCERS is called PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY. Examples of autotrophic organisms are green plants, algae etc. Hence, in an ecosystem that have a high primary productivity, there would be a rapid rate of conversion of solar energy to biomass via PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An airboat with mass 4.30 102 kg, including the passenger, has an e

umka21 [38]

Answer:

a) a = 1,865 m / s² and b) t = 8.1 s

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law to find acceleration, we can work the equation in scalar form because displacement and force have the same direction

F = m .a

a = F / m

a = 8.02 10² /4.3 10²

a = 1,865 m / s²

b) We use kinematic relationships in one dimension

vf = vo + at

vf = 0 + a t

t = vf / a

t = 15.1 / 1.865

t = 8.1 s

One solution to minimize resonance with buildings is to ______ the width to span ratio.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

Resonance is a phenomenon which occurs when a body A in motion set another body B into motion of it own natural frequency. So for resonance to be minimize in a body is to increase the width to span ratio. So as to reduce the overall vibration which affects directly building resonance, the stiffness or trusses and girders should be increase. The increase in this aspect helps to reinforce building structure and support.

A ball is thrown straight upward and rises to a maximum

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

As we know that the ball is projected upwards so that it will reach to maximum height of 16 m

so we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we know that

$v_f = 0$

also we have

$a = -9.81 m/s^2$

so we have

$0 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)(16)$

$v_i = 17.72 m/s$

Now we need to find the height where its speed becomes half of initial value

so we have

$v_f = 0.5 v_i$

now we have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$(0.5v_i)^2 - v_i^2 = 2(-9.81)h$

$-0.75v_i^2 = -19.62 h$

$0.75(17.72)^2 = 19.62 h$

$h = 12 m$

Use the five rules to determine the validity of this categorical syllogism:

Novay_Z [31]

Question:

The five rules are;

"The middle term must be distributed in at least one premise.

If a major or minor term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premises.

No syllogism can have two negative premises.

If either premise is negative, the conclusion must be negative.

No syllogism with a particular conclusion can have two universal premises."

Answer:

The categorical syllogism is invalid as it does not meet thr requirements of rule 2

Invalid because it breaks rule #2.

Explanation:

An argument whose conclusion is implied based on the logical stipulation of the premise is a deductive argument

A syllogism is a deductive argument that makes use of deductive reasoning to come to conclusion, considering a number of of two or more premises which are taken to be true.

For categorical syllogism, we have

If A is in C, then B is in C

Based on the five rules, we have

1. The middle term must be distributed at least once

Here, the middle term is all neutron stars are extremely dense hence i says something about all items in a category, therefore it is distributed

2. If a term is distributed in the conclusion, then it must be distributed in the premise.

Here, the distributed term in the conclusion are "extremely dense objects" is not distributed in the premise, therefore the categorical syllogism is invalid.
