Explain the force that keep the rock balanced on its tiny pedestal

1 answer:

5 0

A pedestal rock, also known as a rock pedestal or mushroom rock, is not a true balancing rock, but is a single continuous rock form with a very small base leading up to a much larger crown. Some of these formations are called balancing rocks because of their appearance. The undercut base was attributed for many years to simple wind abrasion, but is now believed to result from a combination of wind and enhanced chemical weathering at the base where moisture would be retained longest. Some pedestal rocks sitting on taller spire formations are known as hoodoos. I think this is the answer if I’m wrong I’m very sorry

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

Converting to SI units

$10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}$

$Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611$

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.

Unpolarized light of intensity I=10 falls on two successive polarizer wheels with the angle between the polarizer wheels e-60°.

yan [13]

Answer:

$I=\frac{10}{4}$

Explanation:

A polarizer changes the orientation of the oscillations of a light wave.

I₀ = Intensity of unpolarized light = 10

θ = Angle given to the polarizer = 60°

Intensity of light

I = I₀cos²θ

⇒I = 10cos²60

$\\\Rightarrow I=10\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{10}{4}$

So, the after passing through the second polarizer is $\mathbf{\frac{10}{4}}$

6. A 2.2 kg rock rests on the edge of a bridge that is 3.3 m above a river. What is the

vovikov84 [41]

Answer: 71 J

Explanation: The formula for gravitational potential energy is Epg= mgh.

So you plug in 2.2 as m, 3.3 as h and 9.81 as g. Once you do that you should get an answer of 71.2206. But because there are only two significant digits in the question, your answer must also have two significant digits.
