Which of the following is an example of biological weathering

1 answer:

3 0

An example of biological weathering is the widening of gaps in rocks caused by tree roots since pressure or stress is exerted on the rocks due to the growing plant roots. The pressure is exerted by a biological process (i.e., growing roots), even though the process is physical.

Plants and animals and its action speeds up mechanical and or chemical weathering, which in turn causes biological weathering.

Galactic Alliance Junior Mission Officer (GAJMO) Bundit Nermalloy is predicting the kinetic energy of a supply spacecraft, which

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the ship's energy is greater than this and the crew member does not meet the requirement

Explanation:

In this exercise to calculate kinetic energy or final ship speed in the supply hangar let's use the relationship

W =∫ F dx = ΔK

Let's replace

∫ (α x³ + β) dx = ΔK

α x⁴ / 4 + β x = ΔK

Let's look for the maximum distance for which the variation of the energy percent is 10¹⁰ J

x (α x³ + β) = $K_{f}$ - K₀

$K_{f}$ = K₀ + x (α x³ + β)

Assuming that the low limit is x = 0, measured from the cargo hangar

Let's calculate

$K_{f}$ = 2.7 10¹¹ + 7.5 10⁴ (6.1 10⁻⁹ (7.5 10⁴) 3 -4.1 10⁶)

Kf = 2.7 10¹¹ + 7.5 10⁴ (2.57 10⁶ - 4.1 10⁶)

Kf = 2.7 10¹¹ - 1.1475 10¹¹

Kf = 1.55 10¹¹ J

In the problem it indicates that the maximum energy must be 10¹⁰ J, so the ship's energy is greater than this and the crew member does not meet the requirement

We evaluate the kinetic energy if the System is well calibrated

W = x F₀ = $K_{f}$ –K₀

$K_{f}$ = K₀ + x F₀

We calculate

$K_{f}$ = 2.7 10¹¹ -7.5 10⁴ 3.5 10⁶

$K_{f}$ = (2.7 -2.625) 10¹¹

$K_{f}$ = 7.5 10⁹ J

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$893

Explanation: the complete question should be

The clothes washer in your house consumes 470 kWh of energy per year. Price of the washer is $360 and the lifetime of the washer is 10 yrs. Energy price in your city is 9 cents per kWh. What is the lifecycle cost of the clothes washer? (assume a maintenance cost of $11 per year)

SOLUTION

Given:

The clothes washe power consumption (PC) is 470 kWh

Price of the washer (P) is $360

lifetime of the washer (L) is 10 yrs

Energy price in the city (E) is 9 cents per kWh (Covert to $ by dividing 100)

maintenance cost (M) is $11 per year

Lifecycle cost = P + (PC × L × E) +M + L

Lifecycle cost = $360 + (470kWh × 10years × 9cents/100) + ($11 × 10years)

=$893
