Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change. For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

A worker on the roof of a house drops his 0.58 kg hammer, which slides down the roof at constant speed of 6.69 m/s. The roof mak

shusha [124]

Answer:

17.3 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a hammer is 0.58 kg

Velocity with which the hammer slides is 6.69 m/s at constant speed.

The roof makes an angle of 18 ◦ with the horizontal, and its lowest point is 18.2 m from the ground. We need to find the horizontal distance traveled by the hammer between the time is leaves the roof of the house and the time it hits the ground. Firstly, we will find the time taken by the hammer when it reaches ground in vertical direction.

$y=y_0+v_ot +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Putting all the values,

$0=18.2+6.69t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\-4.9t^2+6.69t+18.2=0\\\\t=\dfrac{-6.69+\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}, \dfrac{-6.69-\sqrt{6.69^{2}-4\cdot-4.9\cdot18.2}}{2\cdot-4.9}\\\\t=-1.36\ s\ \text{and}\ t=2.72\ s$

Neglecting negative value,

To find horizontal distance, multiply 2.72 s with the horizontal component of velocity.

$d=2.72\times 6.69\times \cos(18)\\\\d=17.3\ m$

Tarzan, whose mass is 75 kg, is running from a cheetah. Tarzan is moving at 5 m/s when he grabs onto a hanging vine. How high of

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

His Kinetic energy = 1/2 m v^2

v = 5 m/s

m = 75 kg

Ke = 1/2 75 * 5^2

Ke = 937.5 Joules

This will be converted to PE when he reaches the maximum height he reaches. In other words KE = PE

PE = m * g * h

m = 75

g = 9.81

h = ?

PE = 937.5

937.5 = 75 * 9.81 * h

937.5 = 735.75 * h

937.5/735.75 = h

h= 1.27 meters
