1. Two crates with treasure, a small one with mass m=100kg and a large one with mass M=300kg are connected by a massless rope and are on a frozen lake which you may assume to be frictionless. A rope is attached to the front of the heavy crate, and a band of dwarves, which stand at the shore and dig their heels into the soil so they do not slip, are pulling with a horizontal force that causes the crates to accelerate with an acceleration of 2 m/s2 . a) Determine the magnitude of the pulling force and the tension in the rope that connects the crates. b) What would the tension in the rope connecting the crates be if the rope were attached to the front of the small crate, and the dwarves pulled with the same force as you found in part a?

im srry but ur wrong the answer is d a smooth rock, some red dirt, and an empty bird's nest.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
