Answer:
A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.
Explanation:
This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.
Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.
Correct answer is Availability of soil minerals.
There are two types of limiting factors that affect plant population in a ecosystem. They are:
- Biotic
- Abiotic
Biotic factors includes food, diseases etc. Such as Invasive weed species, seed dispersal by wind, disease-causing fungal spores are examples of biotic limiting factor.
Abiotic factors include sunlight, temperature and chemical environment. The availability of soil mineral is an example of abiotic limiting factor. Growth of plant population depends on availability of soil minerals.
Answer:
The magnitude of the frictional force is 48.02 N
Explanation:
Mass of box = 20 kg
Weight of the box (Normal reaction) = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 20 ×9.8 = 196 N
Horizontal force applied = 48 N
Coefficient of friction = horizontal force ÷ normal reaction = 48 ÷ 196 = 0.245
Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal reaction = 0.245 × 196 N = 48.02 N
Answer:
transparent Prism
Explanation:
The device shown is a prism. It is used to study the refraction of light according with its wavelength as it transverses from a medium (air for example) to another (either glass, fluorite, plastic), and vice versa.
For that reason is also used to separate white light into its spectral wavelength components.
