James took two pea plants, placing one in a dark closet and the other on a sunny window sill. both are located in air-conditioned rooms. he then measured the growth of the pea plants after a week. which of the following best describes the purpose of this experiment? question 5 options: to determine the effect of lack of water on plant growth to determine the effect of air conditioning on plant growth to determine the effect of sunlight on plant growth to determine the effect of enclosed spaces on plant growth

We can't know exactly what James was thinking, until he publishes his paper that explains the purpose and results of his experiment.  But it seems plausible that his purpose was to determine the effect of sunlight on plant growth.

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.

a. 254 in.2

b. 64 in.2

c. 127 in.2

d. 1,018 in.2

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
