Answer: Mineral and non- mineral components circulate in the environment in different forms whether it is in the form of solid, liquid, or gas.
Explanation:
Plants take up the minerals like calcium, potassium, nitrogen, sulphur, and others from the soil and utilize them for their survival and growth. These minerals are stored in the flowers, leaves, roots, and other plant parts and these plant parts are consumed by humans and animals. So, inorganic minerals from the soil are converted into organic forms by the plants again the minerals are decomposed into inorganic forms after the death of organisms and again mineral is converted into inorganic form in the soil and these minerals can become the component of the rocks after the sedimentation of the soil.
An aluminum-alloy rod has a length of 10.0 cm at 20°C and a length of 10.015 cm at the boiling point of water (1000C). (a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)? (b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm? /4mks
Answer:
a. 9.99625 cm b. 68 °C
Explanation:
(a) What is the length of the rod at the freezing point of water (0 0C)?
Before we find the length of the rod, we need to find the coefficient of linear expansion, α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)] where L₀ = length of rod at temperature T₀ = 10.0 cm, T₀ = 20 °C, L = length of rod at temperature T = 10.015 cm and T = 100 °C
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
α = (L - L₀)/[L₀(T - T₀)]
α = (10.015 cm - 10.0 cm)/[10.0 cm(100 °C - 20 °C)]
α = 0.015 cm/[10.0 cm × 80 °C]
α = 0.015 cm/[800.0 cm °C]
α = 0.00001875 /°C
We now find the length L₁ at T₁ = 0 °C from
L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))
So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
L₁ = L₀(1 + α(T₁ - T₀))
L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 + 0.00001875 /°C(0° C - 20 °C)]
L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 + 0.00001875 /°C × -20° C]
L₁ = 10.0 cm[1 - 0.000375]
L₁ = 10.0 cm[0.999625]
L₁ = 9.99625 cm
(b) What is the temperature if the length of the rod is 10.009 cm?
With length L₃ = 10.009 cm at temperature T₃, using
L₃ = L₀(1 + α(T₃ - T₀))
making T₃ subject of the formula, we have
L₃/L₀ = 1 + α(T₃ - T₀)
L₃/L₀ - 1 = α(T₃ - T₀)
T₃ - T₀ = (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α
T₃ = T₀ + (L₃/L₀ - 1)/α
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
T₃ = 20 °C + (10.009 cm/10.0 cm - 1)/0.00001875 /°C
T₃ = 20 °C + (1.0009 - 1)/0.00001875 /°C
T₃ = 20 °C + 0.0009/0.00001875 /°C
T₃ = 20 °C + 48 °C
T₃ = 68 °C
Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The length of each rod is 1.1 m, while the mass of each is 0.10 kg. One rod is held in place above the ground, and the other floats beneath it at a distance of 11 mm. Determine the current in the rods.
Answer:
220 A
Explanation:
The magnetic force on the floating rod due to the rod held close to the ground is F = BI₁L where B = magnetic field due to rod held close the ground = μ₀I₂/2πd where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, I₂ = current in rod close to ground and d = distance between both rods = 11 mm = 0.011 m. Also, I₁ = current in floating rod and L = length of rod = 1.1 m.
So, F = BI₁L
F = (μ₀I₂/2πd)I₁L
F = μ₀I₁I₂L/2πd
Given that the current in the rods are the same, I₁ = I₂ = I
So,
F = μ₀I²L/2πd
Now, the magnetic force on the floating rod equals its weight , W = mg where m = mass of rod = 0.10kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
So, F = W
μ₀I²L/2πd = mg
making I subject of the formula, we have
I² = 2πdmg/μ₀L
I = √(2πdmg/μ₀L)
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
I = √(2π × 0.011 m × 0.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²/[4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 1.1 m])
I = √(0.01078 kgm²/s²/[2 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 1.1 m])
I = √(0.01078 kgm²/s²/[2.2 × 10⁻⁷ H])
I = √(0.0049 × 10⁷kgm²/s²H)
I = √(0.049 × 10⁶kgm²/s²H)
I = 0.22 × 10³ A
I = 220 A

If you were capable of converting mass to energy with 100%, efficiency, how much mass would you need to produce 3.5x10^12 Joules of energy?
Answer:
a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg
Explanation:
The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:
[tex]E = mc^2\\\\m = \frac{E}{c^2}[/tex]
where,
m = mass required = ?
E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Therefore,
[tex]m = \frac{3.5\ x\ 10^{12}\ J}{(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)^2} \\\\m = 3.9\ x\ 10^{-5}\ kg[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is:
a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg
A piston is resting halfway into a cylinder containing gas in thermal equilibrium. The layer of molecules next to the closed end of the cylinder is suddenly flash-heated to a very high temperature. Which best describes what happens next
Answer: hello the options related to your question is missing attached below are the missing options
answer : The molecules with the highest temperature will bounce off their neighbors, losing energy to them and so on until the system is at a new equilibrium with the piston moved out ( option B )
Explanation:
What best describes the situation of what will happen next as explained in the question is in Option B
Because molecules with higher temperatures will always posses higher kinetic energy and they will collide more frequently with surrounding molecules passing on their energy in the process until the energy gets to the molecules closest to the piston. The molecules closest to the piston will then hit the piston until a new equilibrium is achieved

A net force of 60 N north acts on an object with a mass of 30 kg. Use Newton's second law of
motion to calculate the amount of acceleration the object will experience. Then explain how the
amount of acceleration will change if the net force or the mass of the object increases.
Answer:
Explanation:
F = ma. For us, this looks like
60 = 30a and
a = 2 m/s/s
If the force goes up to, say, 90, then
90 = 30a and
a = 3...if the force goes up, the acceleration also goes up.
If the mass goes up to say, 60, and the force stays the same, then
60 = 60a and
a = 1...if the mass goes up, the acceleration goes down.
Two light waves of equal wavelength, lambda, are emitted in phase from separate sources and propagate to a common point P. Light wave 1 must travel a longer distance (d1) than light wave 2 (d2) to reach point P, where d1 – d2 is equal to the path difference between the two light waves. If the two waves interfere constructively at point P, what must be true about the path difference between the two light waves?
Answer:
The path difference must be equal to an integral (1 * lambda, 2 * lambda, -------n * lambda) number of wavelengths for constructive interference to occur.
Why does the needle of a compass point north?
a. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet repels it.
b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.
Because the northern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north
d. Because the Earth's core is made of steel.
C.
Answer:
b. Because the southern pole of the Earth's magnet is in the north.
Explanation:
This is very weird to think about but Earth's southern magnetic pole is in Earth's geographic north. So when compass points north, it is actually getting attracted to the southern magnetic pole (that is actually located in the north direction- geographic location- in earth).

Which of the following best describes the formation of surf? Waves energy, rebounding from its impact with shore, crashes into oncoming waves, causing them to break. Entering shallow water forces wave energy upward, making the wave crest unstable and causing it to break. A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break. As waves enter shallow water, the distance between wave crests (wave length) shortens, increasing the tendency to break.
Answer:
The question above would be written again but this time with options attached to it for comprehension sake:
Which of the following best describes the formation of surf?
A. Waves energy, rebounding from its impact with shore, crashes into oncoming waves, causing them to break.
B. Entering shallow water forces wave energy upward, making the wave crest unstable and causing it to break.
C. A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break.
D. As waves enter shallow water, the distance between wave crests (wavelength) shortens, increasing the tendency to break.
The correct answer is option C (A wave encountering shallow water begins to slow at its bottom, while the top of the wave continues at its previous speed. This causes the wave to break).
Explanation:
Surf could mean crashing waves or breaking waves. Generally, the wave speed is constant in the same medium, however, the wave speed decreases as it enters shallow water which is largely due to the water depth which is relatively small, especially when it encounters the bottom of the shallow water. While the top of the wave overtakes the bottom of the wave, making sure the top of the wave continues at its previous speed.
