Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

One of the important waste products of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Where does this oxygen gas come from?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

End product of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo in the manufacture of their food. This is done in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by their coloring pigment called chlorophyll and reactants such as Carbon dioxide and Water.

6CO2+6H2O= C6H12O6+ 6O2

The oxygen gas which is a waste product of photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and used by animals in respiration.

The captain of a boat wants to travel directly across a river that flows due exst with a speed of 100 m/sHe starts from the sout
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

86.51° North of West or 273.49°

Explanation:

Let V' = velocity of boat relative to the earth, v = velocity of boat relative to water and V = velocity of water.

Now, by vector addition V' = V + v'.

Since v' = 6.10 m/s in the north direction, v' = (6.10 m/s)j and V = 100 m/s in the east direction, V = (100 m/s)i. So that

V' = V + v'

V' =   (100 m/s)i + (6.10 m/s)j

So, we find the direction,Ф the boat must steer to from the components of V'.

So tanФ = 6.10 m/s ÷ 100 m/s

tanФ = 0.061

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.061) = 3.49°

So, the angle from the north is thus 90° - 3.49° = 86.51° North of West or 270° + 3.49° = 273.49°

A hiker travels south along a straight line path for 1.5 hours with an average velocity of 0.75 km/hr, then travels south for 2.
ANTONII [103]
Distance travelled in south direction= 1.5hr*0.75km/hr= 1.125km
Distance travlled in north direction= 0.90*2.5=2.25
Net displacement = 2.25-1.125= 1.125 to the north
