The density of ice can help preserve the habitats of aquatic organisms, but it can also cause the death of an organism. Which st

atement describes how this could happen?
A. The contraction of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause cells of an organism to shrink.

B. The expansion of water as it freezes causes water to become solid from the top down, but it could cause cells of an organism to burst.

C. The contraction of water as it freezes causes water to become solid from the top down, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve fewer helpful substances.

D. The expansion of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve more harmful substances.

Answer:

I think it's D. The expansion of water as it freezes increases the amount of nutrients that can dissolve in liquid water, but it could cause fluid in cells to dissolve more harmful substances.

Explanation:

I know when water freezes, it expands and between the two answers that discuss the expansion of water, D sounds the most logical to me lol.

An electric current in a conductor varies with time according to the expression i(t) = 110 sin (120πt), where i is in amperes an
Dafna1 [17]

As we know that current is defined as rate of flow of charge

i = \frac{dq}{dt}

so by rearranging the equation we can say

q = \int i dt

here we know that

i(t) = 110 sin(120\pi t)

here we will substitute it in the above equation

q = \int 110 sin(120\pi t) dt

q = 110 [- \frac{cos(120\pi t)}{120\pi}]

now here limits of time is from t = 0 to t = 1/180s

so here it will be given as

q = \frac{110}{120\pi}( -cos0 + cos(\frac{2\pi}{3}))

q = 0.44 C

so total charge flow will be 0.44 C

A ball of mass 0.05 kg strikes a smooth wall normally four times in 2 second with a velocity of 10m/s. Each time the ball reboun
asambeis [7]

Answer" The average force on the wall be equal to 0.5 N.

Explanation:

To calculate the average force on the wall, we use the following equation:

Ft=m\Delta v\\\\F=\frac{m(v_2-v_1)}{t}

where,

F = average force = ?N

m = mass of the ball = 0.05kg

v_1 = Initial velocity of the ball = -10m/s (negative sign because the ball rebounds)

v_2 = Final velocity of the ball = 10m/s

t = time taken by the ball = 2s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

F=\frac{0.05kg[10-(-10)]m/s}{2s}\\\\F=\frac{0.05kg(20m/s)}{2s}\\\\F=0.5kgm/s^2=0.5N

Hence, the average force on the wall will be equal to 0.5N.

According to Newton's third law of motion, which are equal
dem82 [27]

As per Newton's III law

Every action force that is applied on an object must be equal and opposite to reaction force applied by that object.

It can be said that when we apply any force on an object then this applied force is known as action force and at the same time that object also apply an opposite direction force on us which is known as reaction force having same magnitude.

So as per above theory

Action Force = Reaction Force (magnitude)

while both forces are always opposite in direction

An incident ray of light strikes a diamond at an angle of
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The angle of refraction is option b: 17°.

Explanation:

We can find the angle of refraction by using Snell's law:

n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})

Where:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the medium 1 (air) = 1.0003  

n₂: is the index of refraction of the medium 2 (diamond) = 2.42

θ₁: is the angle of incidence = 45°

θ₂: is the angle of refraction =?

Hence, the angle of refraction is:

sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.0003*sin(45)}{2.42} = 0.2922

\theta_{2} = 17 ^{\circ}

Therefore, the correct option is b: 17°.

I hope it helps you!

Calculate the total resistance in a parallel circuit made up of resistances of 2, 3, and 4.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

<em><u>0</u></em><em><u>.</u></em><em><u>9</u></em><em><u>1</u></em>

Explanation:

as equivalence resistance can be found out using the

1/Req = 1/r1 +1/r2 +1/r3......

now, 1/req= 1/2+1/3+1/4

=6/12+4/12+3/12

=13/12

i.e, req =12/13 =0.91
