Weathering the process that breaks down exposed stone and rock causing it to split apart or wear away. Different forces can cause rocks to become weathered physical weathering is caused by purely mechanical changes to the rock while chemical weathering is caused by chemical reactions

Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks

almond37 [142]

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Mass, m = 4 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Energy = 3.6 * 10^17 Joules

We know that the speed of light is equal to 3 * 10⁸ m/s.

To find the mass of the substance;

The theory of special relativity by Albert Einstein gave birth to one of the most famous equation in science.

The equation illustrates, energy equals mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.

Mathematically, the theory of special relativity is given by the formula;

$E = mc^{2}$

Where;

E is the energy possessed by a substance.
m is the mass.
c is the speed of light.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$3.6 * 10^{17} = m * 300000000^{2}$

$3.6 * 10^{17} = m * 9*10^{16}$

$m = \frac {3.6 * 10^{17}}{9*10^{16}}$

Mass, m = 4 kg

Momentum question. This is an inelastic collision, so

m1v1+m2v2=Vf(m1+m2)
Vf=(m1v1+m2v2)/(m1+m2)=[(120kg)(0m/s)+(60kg)(2m/s)] / (120kg+60kg)
Vf=120kg m/s / 180kg
Vf=0.67m/s

0.67m/s
