Can someone explain what ice jacking is and how it can cause structures to fail?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Rock slope failures can occur due to the presence of water; ice jacking occurs when water between joint or fissure surfaces freezes and expands. This type of failure is progressive, resulting in incremental weakening over time, often requiring several cycles before failure. Ice jacking is one form of rock erosion.

What is the magnetic field amplitude of an electromagnetic wave whose electric field amplitude is 10v/m?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T$

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave, the relationship between magnetic field amplitude and electric field amplitude is given by

$E=cB$

where

E is the amplitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B is the amplitude of the magnetic field

For the electromagnetic wave in this problem, we have

E = 10 V/m is the amplitude of the electric field

So if we solve the formula for B, we find the amplitude of the magnetic field:

$B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{10 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.33\cdot 10^{-8} T$

A moving object is in equilibrium. Which best describes the motion of the object if no forces change?

Alchen [17]

If the object is in equilibrium that means that the sum of the forces on it is zero and the net force is zero. If none of the forces changes then the object continues in constant uniform motion. That means constant speed in a straight line.

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 43.0 vibrations

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

0.218

Explanation:

Given that

Total vibrations completed by the wave is 43 vibrations

Time taken to complete the vibrations is 33 seconds

Length of the wave is 424 cm = 4.24 m

to solve this problem, we first find the frequency.

Frequency, F = 43 / 33 hz

Frequency, F = 1.3 hz

Also, we find the wave velocity. Which is gotten using the relation,

Wave velocity = 4.24 / 15

Wave velocity = 0.283 m/s

Now, to get our answer, we use the formula.

Frequency * Wavelength = Wave Velocity

Wavelength = Wave Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = 0.283 / 1.3

Wavelength = 0.218
