Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

A train travels 98 kilometers in 4 hours, and then 61 kilometers in 3 hours. What is its average speed?

IrinaK [193]

Speed (velocity)=distance/time

V1=98km/4hr=24.5km/hr
V2=61km/3hr=20.3km/hr

Average speed (velocity)=total velocity/ number

Average speed (velocity)=44.8km/hr/2=22.4

So the average speed is 22.4km/hr

. A 1.00 kg rock is thrown up into the air from ground level at a speed of 8.00 m/s. The ball travels up

Liula [17]

Answer:

p = -8 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the rock, u = 8 m/s

Mass of the rock, m = 1 kg

The ball travels up to a maximum height, then returns to the ground.

We need to find the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground. Let v be the final speed of the rock. Its final speed is as same as initial speed i.e. 8 m/s but in negative direction. So

p = mv

p = 1 kg × (-8 m/s)

= -8 kg-m/s

So, the rock's momentum as it strikes the ground is (-8 kg-m/s).

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

current by toaster is

I = $\frac{1140}{120}$

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = $\frac{270}{120}$

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = $\frac{80}{120}$

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A
