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.

Define what is boyleâs law?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure of gas

Explanation:

Boyle's law: It states that the volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional  to the pressure of gas at constant temperature.

Mathematical representation:

Suppose, a gas of mass m

T=Constant temperature

V=Volume of gas

P=Pressure of gas

Then, V\propto\frac{1}{P}

A 50-kg person stands 1.5 m away from one end of a uniform 6.0-m-long scaffold of mass 70.0 kg.
babymother [125]

Answer

given,

mass of the person, m = 50 Kg

length of scaffold = 6 m

mass of scaffold, M= 70 Kg

distance of person standing from one end = 1.5 m

Tension in the vertical rope = ?

now equating all the vertical forces acting in the system.

T₁ + T₂ = m g + M g

T₁ + T₂ = 50 x 9.8  + 70 x 9.8

T₁ + T₂ = 1176...........(1)

system is equilibrium so, the moment along the system will also be zero.

taking moment about rope with tension T₂.

now,

T₁ x 6 - mg x (6-1.5) - M g x 3 = 0

'3 m' is used because the weight of the scaffold pass through center of gravity.

6 T₁ = 50 x 9.8 x 4.5 + 70 x 9.8 x 3

6 T₁ = 4263

    T₁ = 710.5 N

from equation (1)

T₂ = 1176 - 710.5

 T₂ = 465.5 N

hence, T₁ = 710.5 N and T₂ = 465.5 N

Dee is on a swing in the playground. the chains are 2.5 m long, and the tension in each chain is 450 n when dee is 55 cm above t
Leno4ka [110]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

From the geometry, obtain
x = 2.5 - 0.55 = 1.95 m
cos θ = 1.95/2.5 = 0.78
θ = cos⁻¹ 0.78 = 38.74°

From the free body diagram, the tension in the chain is 450 N.
F is the centripetal force,
W is Dee's weight.

The components of the tension are
Horizontal component = 450 sin(38.74°) = 281.6 N, acting left.
Vertical component = 450 cos(38.74°) = 351.0 N, acting upward.

Answers:
Horizontal: 281.6, acting left.
Vertical: 351.0 N, acting upward.

A force 6.3 N is applied at a distance 2.1 m from the point of rotation of a wrench. If the force is applied in a direction para
Ganezh [65]

Answer: 0 (zero)

Explanation:

The formula for torque = force × perpendicular distance between force and point of rotation.

Where force = 6.3 N, distance between force and point of rotation = 2.1m

It has been stated from the question that the force is applied in such a way that it is parallel to the position vector.

If we take the magnitude of this position vector, it will give the distance between the force and the point of rotation which still shows that the force is parallel to the rotation point which does not satisfy the condition for torque to occur hence torque is zero.
