Briefly describe the characteristics of each soil horizon from the top layer to the bottom layer

1 answer:

7 0

There is six horizen. 1. O Horizon - The top, organic layer of soil, 2. A Horizon - The layer called topsoil; 3. E Horizon - This layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand. 4. B Horizon - Also called the subsoil - this layer is beneath the E Horizon and above the C Horizon. 5. C Horizon - it's called regolith: the layer beneath the B Horizon and above the R Horizon. 6 R Horizon - this is last and the unweathered rock layer that is beneath all the other layers.

Infrared waves from the sun are what make our skin feel warm on a sunny day. If an infrared wave has a frequency of 3.0 x 1012 H

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of an infrared wave is, $f=3.0\times 10^{12}\ Hz$

We know that, infrared waves are electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves travel with the same speed and their magnitude is equal to the speed of light in air.

So, speed of infrared waves coming from the Sun travels with the speed of light and thus its magnitude is given as:

$v=c=3.0\times 10^8\ m/s$

Where, 'v' is the speed of infrared waves and 'c' is the speed of light.

Now, we have a formula for the speed of any wave and is given as:

$v=f\lambda$

Where, $\lambda \to \textrm{Wavelength of infrared wave}$

Now, rewriting the above formula in terms of wavelength, $\lambda$ , we get:

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

Now, plug in $3.0\times 10^8$ for 'v', $3.0\times 10^{12}$ for 'f' and solve for $\lambda$ . This gives,

$\lambda=\frac{3.0\times 10^8}{3.0\times 10^{12}}\\\\\lambda=0.0001\ m$

Therefore, the wavelength of the infrared wave is 0.0001 m.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m

olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

$v = v_0 -gt$

Here,

v = Final velocity

$v_0$ = Initial velocity

g = Acceleration due to gravity

t = Time

At t = 4s, v = -30m/s (Downward)

Therefore the initial velocity will be

$-30 = v_0 -9.8(4)$

$v_0 = 9.2m/s$

Now the position can be calculated as,

$y = h +v_0t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

When it has the ground, y=0 and the time is t=4s,

$0 = h+(9.2)(4)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4)^2$

$h = 41.6m$

Therefore the cliff was initially to 41.6m from the ground
