“Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: “with no movement”, and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity and then being transported and deposited in other locations.”
Weathering processes are of three main types: mechanical, organic and chemical weathering.
Electric potential energy of a dipole is given as
so change in the potential energy is given by
here initially it was parallel to electric field while finally it is perpendicular to the electric field
so we have
so above is the change in potential energy of dipole
Answer:
B. to the right
Explanation:
Given:
- distance of the test charge from +Q, r
- distance of test charge from +2Q, 2r
<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>
<u>Force on the test charge due to +Q:</u>
Since all the charges are positive here, so they will try to repel the test charge away. And the force due to charge +Q will be greater so initially the test charge will move rightwards away from the +Q charge.
Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body or an object while at rest while kinetic energy is the energy while the body is at motion.
Potential energy is given by Mgh where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration (a constant) and h is the height.
Therefore, potential energy varies directly proportional to the mass of the object and the height.
Thus in this case, an increase in the mass of the box by 15 kg and raising the height of the box by 20 feet, will result to an increase in potential energy of the box.
