Which of the following is a result of a change in pressure? A. Frost wedging B. Chemical feathering C. Oxidation D. Exfoliation

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is D. Exfoliation. Exfoliation is a type of physical or mechanical weathering which is also referred to as release of pressure. It occurs when layers of rock separate from the stripped rocks as an effect of the pressure released during the wearing down of rock particles by friction due to water, wind or ice.

You are watching a wave with a frequency of 512 Hz go past. How many peaks of the wave go past you each minute?

inna [77]

Answer:

61440 peaks

Explanation:

A hertz represents one cycle for every second:

$f= Hz=\frac{1}{s}$

So if a wave have frequency of 2Hz for example, this means the wave does two cycles per second.

Normally the waves are represented by cosine or sine waves. These kind of waves have two peaks in each cycle, one positive and one negative. With this in mind, let's calculate how many peaks of the wave pass each minute.

A minute has 60 seconds, hence:

$60*512=30720\hspace{3}cycles\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$

And we know already that every cycle has two peaks, so:

$30720*2=61440\hspace{3}peaks\hspace{3}per\hspace{3}minute$
