Answer:

Explanation:

Both increase in temperature and availability of water drives physical and chemical weathering and increases their rate.

Increase in temperature causes rocks to expand and molecules are more free to move about. Constantly heating and cooling of a rock can lead to mechanical fracturing or cracks developing.

A high amount of rainfall facilitates chemical weathering. Chemical weathering is the decomposition of rocks.

The main agent that is important for natural chemical processes to occur is the presence water.

Water contains some other dissolved substances in it.

This is evident in tropical regions of the world

A circuit element consists of a resistor with value 20Ω and inductor with value 10mH connected in series. A voltage of LaTeX: v(

Flura [38]

Answer:

8.97 Watt

Explanation:

Resistance, R = 20 ohm

Inductance, L = 10 mH

V(t) = 20 Cos (1000 t + 45°)

Compare with the standard equation

V(t) = Vo Cos(ωt + Ф)

Ф = 45°

ω = 1000 rad/s

Vo = 20 V

Inductive reactance, XL = ωL = 1000 x 0.01 = 10 ohm

impedance is Z.

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2}+X_{L}^{2}}$

$Z = \sqrt{20^{2}+10^{2}}$

Z = 22.36 ohm

$V_{rms}=\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$V_{rms}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} = 14.144 V$

$I_{rms}=\frac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\frac{14.144}{\sqrt{22.36}}=0.634 A$

Apparent power is given by

P = Vrms x Irms

P = 14.144 x 0.634

P = 8.97 Watt

Complete the following sentence: The term coherence relates to the phase relationship between two waves. the polarization state

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<em>the phase relationship between two waves.</em>

Explanation:

Coherence describes all properties of the correlation between physical quantities between waves. It is an ideal property of waves that determines their interference. In a situation in which there is a correlation or phase relationship between two waves. If the properties of one of the waves can be measure directly, then, some of the properties of the other wave can be calculated.
