Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

Wedging Freeze is generated by repeated freezing. Freeze wedging occurs, whenever the water is turned into ice as a result of the 9 percent expansion. When it freezes, cracks full of water are forced to separate further. and other options are incorrect, that can be described as follows:

  • In option A, It is a state where the element converts into a liquid, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option B, It is a reaction in which the bonds of water is divided into particular substance, that's why it is not correct.
  • In option D, It is a form of mechanical or physical rock weathering, that's it is not correct.

Answer

C. frost wedging.

Explanation:

  • The honey-comb-like structure formed on the sand stone is the result of stresses due to frost wedging in the sandstone.
  • As we know that the microscopic structure of snow is hexagonal and similar is the pattern being discussed here for a honeycomb.

Frost wedging is the process of wearing of rocks by the repeated cycles of freezing and melting of water in the porous cavities of the sandstone.

Due to anomalous expansion of water on freezing it exerts stress on the inner surfaces of the space it occupies in the porosity.

  • As we know that the structure of the molecular bonds is arranged in a cage-like structure of ice which wears out the particles of the rock leaving a honeycomb structured impression due to the stresses.

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N
solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10                (g = 10 m/s^{2})

m = \frac{25}{10}

   = 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

What is the force required to move a block of mass 150 pound by a distance of 5ft in 8 seconds?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Force required to move a block is 1.615 N

Given:

mass of block = m = 150 pounds = 68 kg

distance = d = 5 ft = 1.52 metres

time = t = 8 sec

To Find:

force required to move the block

Solution: Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration and it's unit is N or Newton.

Velocity = displacement/ time = 1.52 / 8 = 0.19 m/s

Acceleration = velocity/time = 0.19/8 =

0.023 m/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration = 68x0.023 = 1.615 N

Hence, force required to move the block is 1.615 N
