Answer:

Emissions per second = 0.36

Explanation:

Please find the attached question

Solution

Given  

Let X be the rate of background emission.

X = B/t  

Where B = 36

And t = 100

X = 36/100 = 0.36

zlopas [31]

The train would need the greatest amount of force due to weight! If you think of it, a baseball won't need much force to stop it, but if you have a heavy train, it will need excessive force to stop the train. The answer would be #3


I hope this answer helps!

Sorry if it doesn't make sense, as I don't know that much about physics! I am just thinking of what makes sense.

Sitting in a chairlift, Rebecca has a gravitational potential energy of 5,997.6
stira [4]

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

In the lesson a thermos is presented as an example of an isolated energy system. How could you change the thermos into an open e
iVinArrow [24]
If you want to change the thermos into an open energy system, you have to remove the lid. Once the lid is removed, the energy is no longer contained inside the thermos bottle. From the bottle, the energy dissipates to the environment.

What happens if a mid-ocean ridge occurs on land
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Despite being such prominent feature on our planet, much of the mid-ocean ridge system remains a mystery. While we have mapped about half of the global mid-ocean ridge in high resolution, less than one percent of the mid-ocean ridge has been explored in detail using submersibles or remotely operated vehicles. so therefore we do not have enough information about them to know what will happen

Explanation:

A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary. Mid-ocean ridges occur along divergent plate boundaries, where new ocean floor is created as the Earth’s tectonic plates spread apart. As the plates separate, molten rock rises to the seafloor, producing enormous volcanic eruptions of basalt. The speed of spreading affects the shape of a ridge  slower spreading rates result in steep, irregular topography while faster spreading rates produce much wider profiles and more gentle slopes.

What is the wavelength of a wave whose speed and period are 72.0 m/s and 5.00 s , respectively ?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The distance between the two successive crests of the wave is 360m

Explanation:

Wavelength is defined as the property of wave in which the distance between identical points between two successive waves are calculated

Wavelength is referred to as the <em>distance between two successive crests or troughs</em>

<em>Given that:</em>

speed = 72.0 m/s

time = 5 seconds

Using the formula

C = fλ

Where C = speed, f = freequency and λ = wavelength

F = 1 / time

F = 1/5

F = 0.2Hz

From the fomula C = fλ

make λ the subject of the formula

λ = C / f

λ = 72/0.2

<em>λ = 360m</em>
