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.

Standing on the roof of a (42.0+A) m tall building, you throw a ball straight up with an initial speed of (14.5+B) m/s. If the b
RSB [31]
First, we must find the vertical distance traveled upwards by the ball due to the throw. For this, we will use the formula:

2as = v² - u²

Because the final velocity v is 0 in such cases

s = -u²/2a; because both u and a are downwards, the negative sign cancels

s = 14.5² / 2*9.81
s = 10.72 meters

Next, to find the time taken to reach the ground, we need the height above the ground. This is:
45 + 10.72 = 55.72 m

We will use the formula 
s = ut + 0.5at²

to find the time taken with the initial velocity u = 0.

55.72 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t²

t = 3.37 seconds

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

The pages of a book are numbered 1 to 200 and each
never [62]

Answer:

10.4mm

Explanation:

2 pages = 1 leaf

200 pages = 100 leaves

100 × 0.10 = 10 mm thickness

Total thickness = 2(0.20) +10 = 0.4+10 = 10.4mm
