Mechanical weathering is actually breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces by natural forces. Any weathering processes that can cause the physical breakdown of rocks without any type of change in the chemical composition of rocks, called mechanical weathering.
So, looking at each of the definitions in the options, we can easily choose:
1. Hydration : It's a process of absorbing water by substance.
2. Carbonation: It's a process of Carbon Dioxide dissolving in liquid (mostly water).
3. Oxidation : It's a process of oxygen reacting with some element.
4. <span>Exfoliation: It's a process where the rocks erodes by peeling off in sheets or layer by layer rather than grain by grain.
As you can see the last one </span><span>Exfoliation matches with the definition of mechanical weathering. It's one of its types.</span>
3.1 the only reason i know this is cause i got it wrong
Answer:
The linear mass density of rope is 0.16 kg/m.
Explanation:
mass, m = 0.52 kg
force, F = 47 N
length, L = 3.3 m
(a) The linear mass density of the rope is defined as the mass of the rope per unit length.
Linear mass density = m/L = 0.52/3.3 = 0.16 kg/m
Answer:
D) - 0.72 secs
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Height of bridge = 40ft = 12.19 m
Initial velocity of Bill's stone = 0m/s
Initial velocity of Ted's stone = 10m/s
We find the time it take Bill's stone to bit the river and the time it takes Ted's stone to hit the river. Then we find the time difference.
Using one of the equations of motion:
For Bill:
S = ut + ½gt²
Where g = 9.8 m/s
12.19 = 0 + ½*9.8*t²
t² = 12.19/4.9 = 2.49
t = 1.58 secs
For Ted:
S = uT + ½gT²
12.19 = 10*T + ½*9.8*T²
=> 4.9T² + 10T - 12.19 = 0
Using quadratic formula and retaining only the positive value, we get that:
T = 0.86 secs
Time difference between Bill's throw and Ted's throw is:
0.86 - 1.58 = - 0.72 secs
In reality, this means that Ted must throw his stone 0.72 secs before Bill throws his for both stones to land the same time.
Answer:
4
Explanation:
We know that intensity I = P/A where P = power and A = area through which the power passes through.
Now, let the initial intensity of the speaker be I₀ and its initial power be P₀. Since the intensity is increased by a factor of 4, the new intensity be I and new power be P.
So, I = P/A and I₀ = P₀/A
Now, if I = 4I₀,
P/A = 4P₀/A
P = 4P₀
Now, energy E = Pt, where t = time. So, P = E/t and P₀ = E₀/t
Substituting P and P₀ into the equation, we have
P = 4P₀
E/t = 4E₀/t
E = 4E₀
Since the energy is four times the initial energy, the energy output increases by a factor of 4.
