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.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram. There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.
