Weathering is where something is changed or mutilated by the weather. Erosion is hwere water or an other substance digs awaya at something and wears it out. I don't exactly know the last one or how to explain

Weathering is the breaking down of material by long exposure to physical elements, erosion is the transportation of broken down material, and decomposition is the state of decay.

What is the weight in Newtons of a ball with a mass of 7.77 kg?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

76.1N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 7.77kg

Unknow:

Weight of balloon  = ?

Solution:

Weight is the vertical force applied on a body.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due gravity

So;

  Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

So;

 Weight  = 7.77 x 9.8  = 76.1N

If you stretch a rubber hose and pluck it, you can observe a pulse traveling up and down the hose.(i) What happens to the speed
Monica [59]

The thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

<h3>What is wage speed?</h3>

It should be noted that wave speed simply means the distance that a wave travels during a particular time.

It should be noted that higher tension leads to an increase in the speed of the wave.

Therefore, the thing that happens to the speed of the pulse when you stretch the hose more tightly is that it increases.

A 0.5 kg basketball moving 5 m/s to the right collides with a 0.05 kg tennis
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

A. 1.4 m/s to the left

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:

M_{before} = M_{after}

where:

M = momentum [kg*m/s]

M = m*v

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

(m_{1} *v_{1} )-(m_{2} *v_{2})=(m_{1} *v_{3} )+(m_{2} *v_{4})

where:

m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]

v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]

m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]

v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]

v3 =  velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]

v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]

Now replacing and solving:

(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)

1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3

- 0.7 = 0.5*v

v = - 1.4 [m/s]

The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
