Physical Weathering involves rocks breaking through contact with atmospheric conditions, but Chemical Weathering breaks down rocks with the effect of certain chemicals. They both made rocks and other sediments have cracks in them.Physical and Chemical Weathering both have differences. Here are some of them

A person is lifting a heavy box using a lever. What is the purpose of the lever in this situation?

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force

Explanation:

1. "A lever consists of a rigid bar that is able to pivot at one point. This point of rotation is known as the fulcrum. A force is applied at some point away from the fulcrum (typically called the effort)."

By this definition, we know that force is needed to lift an object using a lever.

2. "When the input and output forces are on opposite sides of the fulcrum, the lever changes the direction of the applied force. This occurs only with first-class levers. When both the input and output forces are on the same side of the fulcrum, the direction of the applied force does not change"

For example, on a sew saw, if a force is applied on one end, you on the other side/end would go up, meaning a change in direction.

3. Lastly, we know a lever is typically used to reduce work, in other words, the force needed to move something.

Basically, if we were to put a lever into an equation:

reduced force + change in direction = lever

(the expection) unless load and force are on the same side, there will be no change in direction.

For example, if you and your friend sit on the same side of a sew saw, the sew saw would not go up or down, meaning no change in direction.

So if not stated otherwise you can assume the load and force are on opposite sides. The purpose of a lever in that situation would be to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force.

*While reading my explanation, it may be helpful to look up a diagram containing a lever, with a load, fulcrum, and applied force.

A/An _____ is described as a device used to store electrical energy, usually two conductors separated by an insulator.

Daniel [21]

Answer: A capacitor.

Explanation:

The capacitor is a passive element that is used in electronics to store electrical energy maintaining an electrical field. The simpler case of a capacitor is the parallel plates capacitor.

It consists of two parallel metal plates separated by a distance D, in this case, the air between the plates works as a dielectric, as the plates do not touch each other and are separated by a dielectric, the charge is stored in the surface plates.

There are a lot of other types of capacitors, the most used in actuality may be the cylindrical one, where instead of parallel plates, it uses two concentric cylinders, and the space between the cylinders is filled with a dielectric/insulator.

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is $t=0.00129 s$

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

$m=mass\ of\ ball$

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum $P_i=m\times u$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v$

Change in momentum $\Delta P=P_i-P_f$

Impulse $J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P$

$J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)$

$F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N$

The velocity of a 1.3 kg remote-controlled car is plotted on the graph. The work of segment A is J.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: 585 J

Explanation:

We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:

$W=K_f -K_i$

where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is

$K_f =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:

$W=K_f = \frac{1}{2}(1.3 kg)(30 m/s)^2=585 J$

Write a sentence on how these words are used in real life situations

ipn [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can approach an expression for the instantaneous velocity at any point on the path by taking the limit as the time interval gets smaller and smaller. Such a limiting process is called a derivative and the instantaneous velocity can be defined as.#3

For the special case of straight line motion in the x direction, the average velocity takes the form: If the beginning and ending velocities for this motion are known, and the acceleration is constant, the average velocity can also be expressed as For this special case, these expressions give the same result. Example for non-constant acceleration#1
