Answer:
1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow
Explanation:
70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.
In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>. 1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.
Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.
Answer:
<h2>9.92 N</h2>
Explanation:
The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula
force = mass × acceleration
From the question we have
force = 3.2 × 3.1
We have the final answer as
<h3>9.92 N</h3>
Hope this helps you

Answer: 13.61 N/m</h2>
Hooke's law establishes that the elongation of a spring is directly proportional to the modulus of the force
applied to it, <u>as long as the spring is not permanently deformed</u>:
(1)
Where:
is the elastic constant of the spring. The higher its value, the more work it will cost to stretch the spring.
is the length of the spring without applying force.
is the length of the spring with the force applied.
According to this, we have a spring where only the force due gravity is applied.
In other words, the force applied is the weigth
of the block:
(2)
Where
is the mass of the block and
is the gravity acceleration.
(3)
(4)
Knowing the force applied
and
and
, we can substitute the values in equation (1) and find
:
