Which of the following is an example of biological weathering

Physics

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.

 

<span>With the help of the chemicals that are produced by the tiniest bacteria, algae and liches, the rocks which they live in are also broken down by them in order to get the nutrients they need.</span>

When you throw a pebble straight up with initial speed V, it reaches a maximum height H with no air resistance. At what speed sh
aev [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed is u=V

Maximum height of Pebble is H

Deriving maximum height of Pebble and considering motion in vertical direction

v^2-u^2=2 as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=Displacement

Final velocity will be zero at maximum height

0-(V)^2=2\times (-g)\cdot H

H=\frac{V^2}{2g}

i.e. maximum height is dependent on square of initial velocity

for twice the height

2H=\frac{(V')^2}{2g}

on comparing

V'=\sqrt{2}V

PLEASE PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION.<br><br> THANKS!!!
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.0800 m, λ = 20.9 m, f = 11.9 Hz

(b) 250 m/s

(c) 1250 N

(d) Positive x-direction

(e) 6.00 m/s

(f) 0.0365 m

Explanation:

(a) The standard form of the wave is:

y = A cos ((2πf) t ± (2π/λ) x)

where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If the x term has a positive coefficient, the wave moves to the left.

If the x term has a negative coefficient, the wave moves to the right.

Therefore:

A = 0.0800 m

2π/λ = 0.300 m⁻¹

λ = 20.9 m

2πf = 75.0 rad/s

f = 11.9 Hz

(b) Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf

v = (20.9 m) (11.9 Hz)

v = 250 m/s

(c) The tension is:

T = v²ρ

where ρ is the mass per unit length.

T = (250 m/s)² (0.0200 kg/m)

T = 1250 N

(d) The x term has a negative coefficient, so the wave moves to the right (positive x-direction).

(e) The maximum transverse speed is Aω.

(0.0800 m) (75.0 rad/s)

6.00 m/s

(f) Plug in the values and find y.

y = (0.0800 m) cos((75.0 rad/s) (2.00 s) − (0.300 m⁻¹) (1.00 m))

y = 0.0365 m

What number and type of hybrid orbital(s) form(s) when one p and one s atomic orbital mix?
Harrizon [31]

Two equivalent hybridized orbitals will form from the mixing of one s-orbital and one p-orbital, that is (sp) orbital.

<h3>What are orbitals?</h3>

Orbital is the place around nucleus where mostly the electrons are present. There are four types of orbitals are present, s, p, d, and f.

The orbitals that are formed by the mixing of these orbitals are called hybrid orbitals.

Thus, two equivalent hybridized orbitals will form from the mixing of one s-orbital and one p-orbital, that is (sp) orbital.
