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

Physics

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.

Hydraulic engineers often use, as a unit of volume of water, the "acre-foot", defined as the volume of water that will cover 1 a
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Rain = 1.7 in

Time = 30 min

Area = 29 km²

Find:

Volume in acre-feet

Computation:

1 km = 1,000 m

1 m = 3.28 feet

1 km² = 247.105 acre

d = 1.7 in = 1.7 / 12 = 0.14167 ft

Area = 29 × 247.105 = 7,166.045 acre

Volume = 7,166.045 acre × 0.14167 ft

Volume = 1,015 acre-feet (Approx)

The heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A. Initially A is at 300 K and B at 450 K. They are placed in thermal cont
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The final temperature of both objects is 400 K

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;

Q = cΔT

where;

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

The heat transferred by the  object A per unit mass is given by;

Q(A) = caΔT

where;

ca is the specific heat capacity of object A

The heat transferred by the  object B per unit mass is given by;

Q(B) = cbΔT

where;

cb is the specific heat capacity of object B

The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A

Q(A) = -Q(B)

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

The final temperature of the two objects is given by

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b}

But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A

T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + C_bT_b}{C_a + C_b} \\\\T_2 = \frac{C_aT_a + 2C_aT_b}{C_a + 2C_a}\\\\T_2 = \frac{c_a(T_a + 2T_b)}{3C_a} \\\\T_2 = \frac{T_a + 2T_b}{3}\\\\T_2 = \frac{300 + (2*450)}{3}\\\\T_2 = 400 \ K

Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.

A 50-kg block is at rest on a 15o slope. A force of 250 N is acting on the block up the slope parallel to it. If the block does
Iteru [2.4K]

The minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

<h3>Minimum coefficient of static friction</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

F - μFs = 0

μFs = F

where;

  • μ is coefficient of static friction
  • Fs is frictional force
  • F is applied force

μ = F/Fs

μ = F/(mgcosθ)

μ = (250)/(50 x 9.8 x cos15)

μ = 0.53

Thus, the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the slope is 0.53.

Find the weight of a 25 kg table. (Use g= 10 m/s?)
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

weight = 25*10 =250 N

Explanation:

g must be given in units of m/s^2

The weight of any type of body will be the product of his mass by the gravity

where:

m =mass [kg]

F = force [N] or [kg*m/s^2]

g = acceleration [m/s^2]
