Answer: The correct answer is "It has increased surface levels of ultraviolet light".

Explanation:

Ozone depletion: The ozone layer in the atmosphere protects the earth's surface from the exposure of the harmful radiation but due to the hole in the ozone layer, the harmful radiation is reaching our earth's surface.

The ultraviolet radiation is very harmful radiation. It can cause skin cancer and eye cataract.

When the ozone layer is hit by the ultraviolet radiation then ozone will break into oxygen molecule and oxygen atom. Oxygen atom is unstable then it will react with another oxygen molecule. In this way, the ozone layer is not damaged.  

CFC (chloro fluoro carbon) is the pollutant which are responsible for the ozone depletion. Due to the depletion of the ozone layer, the surface levels of ultraviolet light has increased.

A) Increased the surface levels of ultraviolet light. Ozone, O3, gets hit by the ultraviolet radiation and splits into O2 + O, absorbing the energy of the radiation. O, being chemically unstable then reacts with another O2 to reform O3, and keep the ozone layer intact.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The maximum height corresponds to 10.197m

Explanation:

Your approach is accurate because you are analyzing the energy changes and if this is conserved or not. In that perspective, the mass is located at in the top of a spring in which undergoes gravitational potential energy and when the mass compresses the spring, this has a restoring force given by k=5000 \frac{N}{m} and governed by an elastic potential rnergy. Given the initial and final conditions, it can be described, as follows

U_{gravitational}=U_{elastic}\\\\mgh=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}\\ \\h_{max}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{k x^{2}}{mg}

With the above analysis and considering the algebraic operations of the physical magnitudes, the maximum height  above the point of release is given by

h_{max}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{k x^{2}}{mg}\\\\h_{max}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{5000 (N/m) (0.100 m)^{2}}{(0.250kg)(9.807 m/s^{2})}\\\\h=10.197m

Pluto orbits the Sun at an average distance of 5.91 × 10^12 meters. Pluto’s diameter is 2.30 × 10^6
irakobra [83]

Well first of all, since the question deals with the relationship of Charon and Pluto, we don't care about their distance from the sun, because that has no effect on the gravitational forces between them.

All we need is Newton's law of universal gravitation:

                             Gravitational forces = G  m₁ m₂ / D²    .

' G ' is the gravitational constant ...  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ newt-m²/kg²

m₁ = either one of the masses ...  1.31 x 10²² kg  (Pluto)

m₂ = the other mass ... 1.55 x 10²¹ kg  (Charon)

D = the distance between their centers ... 1.96 x 10⁷ meters

   Gravitational forces = G  m₁ m₂ / D²

     =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ newt-m²/kg²)
         times (1.31 x 10²² kg) times (1.55 x 10²¹ kg)
         divided by  (1.96 x 10⁷ meters)²

      =  (6.67 x 1.31 x 1.55 x 10⁻¹¹ ⁺ ²² ⁺ ²¹ ⁻ ¹⁴) / (1.96)²

      =  (13.54 x 10¹⁸) / (3.84)  =  3.53 x 10¹⁸ newtons .

<span>This is the gravitational force of attraction that Pluto exerts
on Charon.  It's also the </span><span>gravitational force of attraction that
Charon exerts on Pluto.  The gravitational forces are always
equal and opposite.

How does an impulse propagate down the axon
kolezko [41]

When action potentials reach the end of the axon, they stimulate opening of Ca2+ channels, causing a release of neurotransmitters to the post-synaptic cell. How does and impulse propagate down the axon? The stimulus causes a start of the action potential and it moves down the axon without the ions moving down
