Higher temperatures along with moisture climates generally increase the rate of
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Weathering refers to the disintegration of rocks due to the different geological processes that are initiated by agents such as wind, water and ice.

In a region where the temperature is high, and there is sufficient amount of moisture content in the air, there occurs high rate of physical, chemical and biological type of weathering.

  • Physical weathering processes such as freeze-thaw method and exfoliation method commonly occurs in this type of region.
  • Chemical weathering processes such as hydrolysis, oxidation, as well as carbonation method occurs in the region of high temperature, moist climatic condition.
  • Biological weathering also is possible up to some extent as the plants takes up water from the rainfall and also receive enough sunlight for its growth, as a result of which it leads to the breakdown of rocks.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

A 0.5 kg yellow bouncy ball rolls to the right at a speed of 8 m/s while a 0.25 kg blue bouncy ball rolls
inessss [21]

Explanation:

Let yellow ball be m1 = 0.5kg with u1 = 8 m/s and blue ball be m2 = 0.25 kg with u2 = - 4 m /s respectively.

After collision, blue ball travels 12 m/s.

<u>Using conservation of Linear Momentum</u> :

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

0.5* 8 + 0.25 * - 4 = 0.5 * v1 + 0.25 * 12

v1 = 0 m/sec i.e. <u>Yellow ball comes to rest</u>.

How do you graph distance and time for an object that moves at a constant speed?
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

It would be a straight line

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, an object that moves at constant speed would be represented by a straight line.

In fact, in a distance-time graph, the slope of the line corresponds to the speed of the object. We can demonstrate that. In fact:

- The speed of the object is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (\Delta s) and the time taken (\Delta t):

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

On a distance-time graph, the distance is on the y-axis while the time is on the x-axis. The slope of the line is defined as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

But the variation on the y-axis (\Delta y) is equal to the distance covered (\Delta s), while the variation on the x-axis (\Delta x) corresponds to the time taken (\Delta t), so the slope can also be rewritten as

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which is equal to the speed of the object. Therefore, an object moving at constant speed would be represented by a line with constant slope, which means a straight line.
