3 0

Answer:

4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the vertical strand of spiderweb  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg

Unknown:

Tension in the vertical strand  = ?

Solution:

The tension is the vertical strand will be the weight of the strand.

  Weight of strand  = mg

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 5 x 10⁻⁵kg  x 9.8m/s²

Tension in the vertical strand  = 4.9 x 10⁻⁴N

What changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds?
lapo4ka [179]

Nitrogen fixing bacteria changes dead plants and animals into ammonia compounds.

<h2>What is nitrogen fixation?</h2>

Atmospheric nitrogen is converted into nitrogen oxides by the action of lightning, which helps its incorporation into the soil.

<h3>Characteristics of Nitrogen fixing bacteria</h3>

  • Nitrogen is fixed by these bacteria and other prokaryotes through various metabolic processes, which convert it into different usable compounds, such as ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4+).

  • These microorganisms can be found in soil and water, or as plant symbionts.

Therefore, we can conclude that nitrogen fixing bacteria fix nitrogen from the air, that is, they originate soluble compounds by plants, such as ammonia.
