The Olympic sport of curling is one that is practically designed to show Physics in motion. Curling is a sport in which two teams alternate sliding smoothed stone pucks down an ice rink court with the intent to seat their stone closest to the center of the target (called the house). Each team has eight stones, meaning that the team that goes second has the (could be) massive advantage of sending the last stone.
The mass of the stone is important in that the more massive a stone (m) and the speed at which it travels (v) dictates it's momentum (momentum=mxv). As the curling stone slides down the ice (which is relatively frictionless unless acted upon by other players or objects) and having inertia, continues in it's straight course (again, unless acted upon by outside forces). If the stone hits another stone, it transfers some of its momentum in an elastic collision to that stone and the original stone is deflected in a calculable manner.
Collisions are used in the game to either clear opponent's stones from the house or out of their defensive positions, or to make adjustments to one's stones present in the house, all based on the momentum of the moving stone, and its transference.
greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up.
Answer:
<em>The type of vegetation a surface does affect the </em><em>water coming from above to sink in or runoff. </em>
Explanation:
This is how the vegetation affects the runoff:-
The leaves and stems present in the vegetation do not let the water fall directly on the soil and makes the process rather slow which makes the water to get to the ground slowly and sink in properly inside the soil rather than running off.
If the vegetation present is dense with there was being hairy then also the water would not run out and will get absorbed by the roots letting the soil intact
Answer: 21 lawns per week
Explanation:
The average weekly rate refers to how many lawns were mowed per week given that 233 were done in 11 weeks.
Rate will be given by;
= Lawns mowed / Weeks taken
= 233 / 11
= 21 lawns per week
