The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The options of this question are as follows-

a) limestone deposits in the soil beneath them, and ions that wash away

b) magnesium-bearing basalt in the soil beneath them, and ions that wash away

c) clays, rust, and sand that go into making soil beneath them, and ions that wash away

d) soluble ions that primarily go into making soil beneath them

e) diet pepsi.

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that is comprised of minerals such as quartz, feldspar and some amount of amphibole as well as mica. It is a very hard and resistant rocks, and so are commonly used for many purposes such as building stones, headstones and tombstones.

According to the given condition, these rocks constantly interacts with the wind, water, and other factors, as a result of which the rock weathers and creates sediments such as clays, sand and rust particles which are mostly deposited beneath the headstones and some are even washed away by the agents such as wind and water.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

How do positive and negative acceleration differ?

Greeley [361]

Answer:

1. positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down

Explanation:

Acceleration is clearly defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. When are body is speeding up as we say, it is accelerating. When a body is coming to rest, it is decelerating.

Positive acceleration occurs when the speed of a moving continues to increase.

Negative acceleration is when the speed of a moving body reduces drastically.

A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west

Minchanka [31]

The ducks' flight path as observed by someone standing on the ground is the sum of the wind velocity and the ducks' velocity relative to the wind:

ducks (relative to wind) + wind (relative to Earth) = ducks (relative to Earth)

or equivalently,

$\vec v_{D/W}+\vec v_{W/E}=\vec v_{D/E}$

(see the attached graphic)

We have

ducks (relative to wind) = 7.0 m/s in some direction θ relative to the positive horizontal direction, or

$\vec v_{D/W}=\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)$

wind (relative to Earth) = 5.0 m/s due East, or

$\vec v_{W/E}=\left(5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos0^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin0^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

ducks (relative to earth) = some speed v due South, or

$\vec v_{D/E}=v(\cos270^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin270^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

Then by setting components equal, we have

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta+5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=0$

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

We only care about the direction for this question, which we get from the first equation:

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta=-5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$\cos\theta=-\dfrac57$

$\theta=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)\text{ OR }\theta=360^\circ-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)$

or approximately 136º or 224º.

Only one of these directions must be correct. Choosing between them is a matter of picking the one that satisfies both equations. We want

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

which means θ must be between 180º and 360º (since angles in this range have negative sine).

So the ducks must fly (relative to the air) in a direction 224º relative to the positive horizontal direction, or about 44º South of West.

Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to

german

Answer: v= 1.23 m/s θ = 75.3º

Explanation:

First of all, we define the direction in which both fruits are tossed as the x axis, so all initial momenta have horizontal components only.

Now, if no external forces act during collision (due to the infinitesimal time during which collision takes place) momentum must be conserved.

As momentum is a vector, both components must be conserved, so we can write the following equations:

p₁ₓ = p₂ₓ ⇒ -m₁ . vi₁ +m₂. vi₂ = m₁ . vf₁ . cos θ (1)

p₁y = p₂y ⇒ 0 =m₂ . vf₂ - m₁. vf₁. sin θ (2)

Replacing by the values of m1, m₂, vi₁, vi₂, and vf₂, we can calculate the value of the angle θ, that the apple forms with the horizontal, as follows:

(1) -0.13 Kg. 1.05 m/s + 0.15 Kg. 1.18 m/s = 0.13. vf . cos θ

(2) 0.15 Kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf. sin θ

sin θ / cos θ = 3.82 ⇒ tg θ = 3.82 ⇒ θ = arc tg (3.82) = 75.3º

Replacing this value of θ in (2), we get:

0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s = 0.13 vf . sin 75.3º = 0.13 . vf . 0.967

Solving for vf, we get:

vf = 0.15 kg. 1.03 m/s / 0.13. 0.967 = 1.23 m/s
