The following best describes how an anthropogenic activity can increase ocean acidification?​

Physics
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Emissions from power plants that burn fossil fuels increase atmospheric carbon dioxide, which is absorbed by the ocean.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are burnt in power plants in order to produce energy. These fossil fuels contain carbon. Combustion of these fossil fuels emits oxides of carbon into the atmosphere. The oxides of carbon are carbon II oxide and carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide can be absorbed by the ocean to form carbonic acid according to the reaction equation;

CO2(aq) + H2O(l) ------> H2CO3(aq)

This is an anthropogenic activity which increases ocean acidification.

How do the tension of the cord and the force of gravity affect a pendulum?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But  the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.    

<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.

what is the force if a block of wood with mass 20 kg slides along a frictionless surface at 2 m/s squared
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

F=ma where F is the applied force, m is the mass of object and a is the acceleration.

Since there is no friction, substituting 20 Kg for m and 2 m/s squared for a then we obtain

F=20*2=40 N
