Answer:

Erosion is the constant gnawing, erosion and degradation that occurs on the earth's surface. That is, when external geological forces, such as rivers, glaciers, flowing water, winds or waves, carry along and gnaw rock particles and move material from one location on the earth's surface to another.

The rate of erosion is influenced by climate, topography, the extent of vegetation cover and the properties of the loads. Deforestation and cultivation methods that change the soil structure, for example, make the soil harder so that it does not drain away water so quickly, can increase the erosion rate and cause major damage. It is estimated that 30-40 billion tonnes of land is eroded each year from the world's agricultural areas.

As a planet's semimajor axis gets smaller, its speed will _______ and its period will _________ .

Rufina [12.5K]

Well first of all, a planet doesn't have a semimajor axis, although it's orbit does.

In an orbit with a smaller semimajor axis, the planet moves faster, and its orbital period is shorter.

That's why the International Space Station circles the Earth in less time than the Moon does.

(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = $\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Using Conservation of energy

$KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f$

$0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0$

$v = \sqrt{2gH}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}$

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top

frez [133]

We need to consider for this exercise the concept Drag Force and Torque. The equation of Drag force is

$F_D = c_D A \frac{\rho V^2}{2}$

Where,

F_D = Drag Force

$c_D$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

$\rho$ = Density

V = Velocity

Our values are given by,

$c_D = 0.5$ (That is proper of a cone-shape)

$A = 9m^2$

$\rho = 1.2Kg/m^3$

$V = 6.5m/s$

Part A ) Replacing our values,

$F_D = 0.5*9*\frac{1.2*6.5^2}{2}$

$F_D = 114.075N$

Part B ) To find the torque we apply the equation as follow,

$\tau = F*d$

$\tau = (114.075N)(7)$

$\tau = 798.525N.m$

Suppose a sound wave and an electromagnetic wave have the same frequency. Which has the longer wavelength? 1. the electromagneti

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.
