Why do you think the rate of weathering tends to increase at hotter temperatures and higher amounts of rainfall?

Physics
1 answer:
lesya692 [45]3 years ago
7 0

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

What is the net force acting on the buggy. ?The net force is pointing to the ?
Papessa [141]

Answer: 390, right

explanation: The net force is just the sum of all of these forces acting on an object. ... This equation is the sum of n forces acting on an object. The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object, as shown in this formula.

How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are present in an atom of cr-24?
mote1985 [20]

The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the atom of cr-24 is 28, 24, and 24 respectively.

<h3>What is atom?</h3>

An atom is the smallest unit of matter, consisting of the positively charged nucleus and the electrons which move around it. The atom can not be divided further.

The atom of a matter is made by three elements-

  • 1) Neutron-Neutron is the element of an atom, which has zero charge.
  • 2) Proton-Proton is the element of an atom, which has a positive charge.
  • 3) Electron-Electron is the element of an atom, which has a negative charge.

The atom of cr-24 has the atomic number 24. The atomic number of atom is equal to the number of proton and electron in an atom. Thus,

\rm Proton=24\\\rm Electron=24

Now, if this atom has the mass number of 52 (most common). Then the number of neutron is,

\rm Neutrons=Mass\; Number-Atomic\; Number\\\rm Neutrons=52-24\\\rm Neutrons=28

Thus, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in the atom of cr-24 is 28, 24, and 24 respectively.

Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. a typical mass and radius for a neutron star might
Tanya [424]
<span>Density is 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Dime weighs 1.5x10^12 pounds The definition of density is simply mass per volume. So let's divide the mass of the neutron star by its volume. First, we need to determine the volume. Assuming the neutron star is a sphere, the volume will be 4/3 pi r^3, so 4/3 pi 1.9x10^3 = 4/3 pi 6.859x10^3 m^3 = 2.873x10^10 m^3 Now divide the mass by the volume 9.9x10^28 kg / 2.873x10^10 m^3 = 3.44588x10^18 kg/m^3 Since we only have 2 significant digits in our data, round to 2 significant digits, giving 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 Now to figure out how much the dime weighs, just multiply by the volume of the dime. 3.4x10^18 kg/m^3 * 2.0x10^-7 m^3 = 6.8x10^11 kg And to convert from kg to lbs, multiply by 2.20462, so 6.8x10^11 kg * 2.20462 lb/kg = 1.5x10^12 lb</span>

Question 9 of 27
Ksju [112]

The power of man performing 500 J of work in 8 seconds is 62.5 J/s.

Power can be defined as the pace at which work is completed in a given amount of time.

Horsepower is sometimes used to describe the power of motor vehicles and other machinery.

The pace at which work is done on an item is defined as its power. Power is a temporal quantity.

Which is connected to how quickly a project is completed.

The power formula is shown below.

Power = Energy / Time

Power = E / T

Because the standard metric unit for labour is the Joule and the standard metric unit for time is the second, the standard metric unit for power is a Joule / second, defined as a Watt and abbreviated W.

Here we have given Energy as 500 J and Time as 8 second.

Power = Energy / Time

Power = 500 / 8  Joule / sec

Power = 250 / 4  Joule / sec

Power = 125 / 2 Joule / sec

Power = 62.5 Joule / sec  or  62.5 watt

Power came out to be 62.5 J/s when the man performed 500 Joule of work in 8 seconds.

So we can conclude that the power in the Energy transmitted per unit of time, and can be find out by dividing Energy by time. In our case the Power came out to be 62.5 Joule / Second.
