Answer:

Physical weathering enhances the rate of chemical weathering .

Explanation:

Physical weathering is the breaking down of rocks by various processes like freezing and thawing without altering the rocks chemical composition.

While, chemical weathering involves the disintegration and dissolution of rocks by the chemical processes like oxidation , carbonation and solution processes etc.

Generally a fractured rock can easily be weathered by chemical agents rather than a normal fractured rock.

So ,

when a rock is already subjected to physical weathering, the rock will develop cracks on it and when the chemical agents comes in contact with that rock, the chemical solution will penetrate into those cracks and will dissolve the rocks at a rapid rate.

A right circular cylinder has radius 6 in. and volume 144π in3 . What is its height?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

4in

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of cylinder = 6in

Volume  = 144πin³

Unknown:

Height of the cylinder  = ?

Solution:

The volume of a cylinder is the product of its base area and height;

   Volume of cylinder  = base area x height

The unknown parameter is the height and substitute for the parameters given;

         144π  = π x 6² x h

              144π  = 36πh

  Divide through by 36π and find h;

              h  = 4in
