Answer:

Over time

Explanation:

When the waves crash against the rocks (erosion) small bits of rock begin to wear off. Over a lot of years lots of rock would've worn off.

Answer:

when there is high wind e.g hurricane it can cause soil erosion, when there is flood it can cause soil erosion, when there are waves it can wear out the land and cause soil erosion

A spring with a rest length of 0.7 m has a spring constant of 70 N/m. It is stretched and now has a length of 2.5 m. What is the

pentagon [3]

Answer:

113.4 J

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy

Is the energy stored in an elastic material like a spring of constant k, in which case the energy is proportional to the square of the change of length Δx and the constant k.

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2$

The spring has a natural length of 0.7 m and a spring constant of k=70 N/m. When the spring is stretched to a length of 2.5 m, the change of length is

Δx = 2.5 m - 0.7 m = 1.8 m

The energy stored in the spring is:

$\displaystyle PE = \frac{1}{2}70(1.8)^2$

PE = 113.4 J

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

The length of aluminum rods produced by a company are approximated by a Gaussian distribution with a mean of 10 cm and a standar

ExtremeBDS [4]

Given Information:

Mean length of aluminum rods = μ = 10 cm

Standard deviation of length of aluminum rods = σ = 0.02 cm

Required Information:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = ?

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = ?

Answer:

a) P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27%

b) P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100%

Explanation:

What is Normal Distribution?

Normal Distribution or also known as Gaussian Distribution, is a continuous probability distribution and is symmetrical around the mean. The shape of this distribution is like a bell curve and most of the data is clustered around the mean. The area under this bell shaped curve represents the probability

a) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm.

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{9.98- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.02 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( \frac{-0.02}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.02}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( -1 < Z < 1 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -1 is 0.15866 and 1 is 0.84134

$P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = P( Z < 1 ) - P( Z < -1 ) \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.84134 - 0.15866 \\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 0.6827\\\\P(9.98 < X < 10.02) = 68.27 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.98 and 10.02 cm is 68.27%

b) We want to find out the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm.

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} < Z < \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{9.90- 10}{0.02} < Z < \frac{10.1 - 10}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( \frac{-0.1}{0.02} < Z < \frac{0.1}{0.02} )\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( -5 < Z < 5 )\\\\$

The z-score corresponding to -5 is 0 and 5 is 1

$P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = P( Z < 5 ) - P( Z < -5 ) \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1 - 0 \\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 1\\\\P(9.90 < X < 10.1) = 100 \%$

Therefore, the probability that the length of aluminum rods is between 9.90 and 10.1 cm is 100%

How to use z-table?

Step 1:

In the z-table, find the two-digit number on the left side corresponding to your z-score. (e.g 1.0, 2.2, 0.5 etc.)

Step 2:

Then look up at the top of z-table to find the remaining decimal point in the range of 0.00 to 0.09. (e.g. if you are looking for 1.00 then go for 0.00 column)

Step 3:

Finally, find the corresponding probability from the z-table at the intersection of step 1 and step 2.

A 1 kg object sits on the earth’s surface. What is the force of gravity between the object and the earth? (mass of the earth = 5

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

9.81N

Explanation:

the force of attraction is given by

F=GmM/R²

where m is mass of the body

M is mass of the earth

R is radius of the earth

G is the universal gravitational constant(6.67x10-¹¹)

hence we substitute the values in the formula.
