Agroup of students were collecting soil samples near a river. one student noted there was a lot of sand in one of the samples. he said" all this sand must have washed up from beach where the river enters the ocean." another student said, "i think it came from the rocks in the mountains. but there aren't any mountains near us. i don't understand how the sand got there." what would you tell the students to them solve where the sand came from?

Why are biogeochemical cycles important? earth is a closed system. that means the amount of rocks, metals, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and water on so, it is essential that biogeochemical these materials as they move through earth's subsystems.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

Aspring has a natural length of 8 m. if a 12-n force is required to keep it stretched to a length of 10 m, how much work w is required to stretch it from 8 m to 16 m? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
