The correct answer is:
The rate at which a waves energy flows through a given unit of area

In fact, light intensity is defined as the light power per unit of area:
 $I= \frac{P}{A}$
but the power is the energy carried by the light per unit of time:
 $P= \frac{E}{t}$
this means that the intensity can be rewritten as
 $I= \frac{E}{tA}$ 
So, it's basically the rate of energy (per unit of time) through a given surface.

What does each system help you do?

Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles.

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

Geologists use tools other than the law of superposition to help them with relative dating. Which statements describe those tool

White raven [17]

Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

A baseball diamond is a square (don’t be fooled that it is usually shown rotated by 45°). Each side of the square is 90 feet lon

gayaneshka [121]

A line from second to home creates a right triangle with 45 degree angles.

This makes the diagonal line the side length of the square multiplied by the sqrt(2)

Second to home = 90sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet ( round answer as needed)

Un cuerpo se encuentra en reposo sobre una mesa horizontal. Entonces se puede afirmar que:

vazorg [7]

Answer:

C) solo III

Explanation:

Para solucionar este problema debemos analizar cada una de las opciones hasta llegar a la opcion valida.

I) el cuerpo pesa igual que su masa.

Esta opcion no puede ser ya que el peso de un cuerpo se define como el producto de la masa por la aceleracion gravitacion.

$w=m*g$

donde:

w = peso [N]

m = masa [kg]

g = aceleracion gravitacional = 9.81 [m/s²]

Como podemos ver el peso siempre sera mayar que la masa, ya que el peso es resultado de la multiplicacion de la masa por la gravedad.

II) Por medio de un analisis de fuerzas en el eje-y, la fuerza del peso se dirige hacia abajo mientras que la fuerza normal tiene igual magnitud, pero se dirige hacia arriba. Por esto la segunda opcion no puede ser.

III) El cuerpo se encuentra en equilibrio, es decir las unicas fuerzas que actuan sobre el cuerpo son el peso y la fuerza normal. Pero estas fuerzas son iguales y opuestas en direccion, por la tanto se cancelan y estan en equilibrio.

Esta es la opcion valida, la fuerza neta es nula.
