The correct answers are:
B. plant growth;
C. animal actions;
The mechanical weathering is a type of weathering where physical force is included into the breaking up of the rocks. The plants and the animals are both causing this type of weathering with their actions. The plants can cause mechanical weathering with their roots, as they grow and surround a rock, they are able to create such a pressure that they can break the rock apart. Also, as their trunks are getting bigger, if there's rocks right next to them, the pressure from the growing of the trunk will crack the rocks. The animals are able to move the rocks, as well as pushing them, or even deliberately throwing them, so they manage to break up parts of them and cause mechanical weathering.
Answer:
13.37 rev/min
Explanation:
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration (
) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².
r = 9 m
Centripetal acceleration () is given by:
The velocity (v) is given by:
v = ωr; where ω is the angular velocity
Hence:
ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9
ω = 1.4 rad/s
ω = 2πN
N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π
N = 0.2228 rev/s
N = 13.37 rev/min
Answer:
Power = 21[W]
Explanation:
Initial data:
F = 35[N]
d = 18[m]
In order to solve this problem we must remember the definition of work, which tells us that it is equal to the product of a force for a distance.
Therefore:
Work = W = F*d = 35*18 = 630 [J]
And power is defined as the amount of work performed in a time interval.
Power = Work / time
Time = t = 30[s]
Power = 630/30
Power = 21 [W]
Answer:
a. 8.3 minutes average distance from earth to the sun
d. 93 miles or 150 million km
Explanation:
The distance between the earth and the sun is defined as an astronomical unit (AU). It takes 8.3 minutes to go from earth to the sun at the speed of light. That distance has a length of 150 million Kilometers or 93 miles.
It is common to see in planet charts that distance to the sun are compared in astronomical units. In the case of Mars is 1.524 AU away from the sun.
