How will physical and/or chemical weathering contribute to create rounded shapes during spheroidal weathering?

1 answer:

6 0

Chemical weathering weakens the outer surfaces of rocks and its primary agent is water. Mechanical weathering is carried out by impact or attrition by water and air.
Both of these forms of weathering combine and cause rocks to obtain a spherical shape.The concentric layers of rock are combined to form structures known as saprolite.

In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.

solong [7]

Due to difference in electric potential.

<h3>What is Potential difference?</h3>

The amount of work in an electrical field to move a unit charge from one place to another is known as the electrical potential difference.

Here , the potential difference is the difference in electric potential between two charged substances.

Current is the flow of charges from one end end to another end of a conducting wire connected across a two terminals of a battery.

The potential difference is [provided by the battery across the two terminals due which the charges flow.

Current flow is from positive to negative terminals, indicating the movement of positive charges in that direction.

Hence , potential difference causes the electric charges to flow from one end of the battery .

1. A 4000-kg truck traveling with a velocity of 20 m/s due south collides headon with a 1350-kg car traveling with a velocity of

velikii [3]

(a) The momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) The size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

Explanation:

The mass of the truck moving due south is given as 4000 kg and the speed is 20 m/s. Similarly, the mass of the car moving due north is 1350 kg and the speed is 10 m/s.

(a) Then the momentum of each vehicle can be obtained by the product of mass with their respective speed.

$Momentum of truck = Mass * Speed = 4000 * 20 =80000 kgm/s$

Similarly, the momentum of car will be

$Momentum of car = 1350 * 10 = 13500 kgm/s$

So, the momentum of each vehicle prior to collision is 80000 kgm/s for truck and 13500 kgm/s for car.

(b) Since, after collision, the vehicles stick together, the momentum after collision will be equal to the total momentum of both the vehicles before collision. This is because, it will obey conservation of momentum.

Momentum of vehicles after collision = total momentum before collision

Momentum after collision = 80000+13500 = 93500 kgm/s.

The direction of the vehicles after collision will be towards south as the mass and speed of the truck is greater than car. So the impact or force exerted on the car by the truck will be greater and thus both the vehicles will be directed towards south after collision.

Thus, the size of momentum is 93500 kgm/s and it will be directed towards South.

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere

prohojiy [21]

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question

The ozone layer is found in which layer of the atmosphere?

A. Stratosphere

B. Mesosphere

C. Thermosphere

D. Troposphere

The correct answer is A. Stratosphere

Explanation:

The ozone layer as indicated by its name is mainly composed of Ozone (O2), this layer is essential for life because it filters ultraviolet radiation and acts as a greenhouse effect gas by trapping part of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, which is the second layer of the atmosphere and can be found between 20 km to 50 km from Earth's surface. Moreover, the existence of the ozone layer in the stratosphere makes the temperature increase with height due to the radiation of the sun filter by ozone.

A bug splats against the windshield of a car traveling at high speeds down a backcountry road. Which statement correctly compare

zvonat [6]

Answer:

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's 2nd law

$F = \frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}$

here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law

$F_{12} = F_{21}$

so we know that

$\frac{\Delta P_{12}}{\Delta t} = \frac{\Delta P_{21}}{\Delta t}$

so we have

$\Delta P_{12} = \Delta P_{21}$

so correct answer will be

C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.

suppose that you look into a photometer's eyepiece and the fluorescent disks appear to be equal in intensity. If the distance be

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>
