Limestone and marble are easily weathered because they dissolve easily and fastly in the weak acids the environment/weather creates

Igneous rocks tend to weather slowly because it is hard for water to penetrate them. Other types of rock, like limestone and marble are easily weathered because they dissolve easily in weak acids. More resistant rocks remain at the surface and form ridges or hills.

bogdanovich [222]

Renewable energy

Advantages :-

1. Easily regenerate

2. Boost economic growth

3. Easily available

4. Support environment

5. Low maintenance cost

Disadvantages :-

1. Weather dependency

2. High installation cost

3. Noise caused by wind energy

4. Fluctuation problem (solar)

5. Intermittency issue (wind)

Non-renewable energy

Advantages :-

1. Concentrated energy source

2. Reliable energy source

3. Can be built anywhere

4. No radioactive waste

Disadvantages :-

1. Produces greenhouse gases

2. Contributes to global warming

3. Produces acid rain

4. Harmful to environment when they are burnt

What is the approximate wavelength of a light whose first-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 45.0° when it passes

sp2606 [1]

** Missing info: Lines per mm = 500 **

Ans: The wavelength is = λ = 1414.21 nm

Explanation:
The formula for diffraction grading is:

dsinθ = mλ --- (1)

Where
d = 1/lines-per-meter = (1/500)*10^-3 = 2 * 10^-6
m = order = 1
λ = wavelength
θ = 45°

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => 2*10^-6*sin(45°) = (1)λ
=> λ = 1414.21 nm

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1

White raven [17]

Answer:

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

$h = 80 m$

time of fall under gravity

$t = 1.35 s$

now if water melon start from rest then we have

$v_i = 0$

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

$a = 9.81 m/s^2$

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

$v_f = v_i + at$

so we will have

$v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)$

$v_f = 13.23 m/s$

Two students below described a part of Earth's innermost layer:

Molodets [167]

The answer to your question is B- They both described the inner part otherwise known as the inner core.

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun. The inner core is made out of iron and nickel. The inner core is extremely hot and is the last layer. It is a solid because of all the pressure from the other layers putting there weight onto this layer.
