Mechanical weathering is basically the process of breaking big rocks into little rocks.

They both-
1) are vector fields
2) they both transmit forces between objects

I hope this helps :))

Answer:

μs = 0.75

μk = 0.58

Explanation:

From a force diagram:

$m*g*sin \theta - Ff=m*a$ (1)

$N-m*g*cos \theta = 0$ (2)

When it starts slipping, friction force is the maximum and acceleration is 0. Replacing these conditions on (1):

$m*g*sin \theta - \mu*m*g*cos \theta=0$ Solving for μs:

$\mu=tan \theta$

μs = tan 36.7° = 0.75

When it moves at constant speed, friction force is kinetic friction and acceleration is 0. With these conditions the coefficient is:

μk = tan 30.1° = 0.58

Zielflug [23.3K]

COMPLETE QUESTION:

When the magnetic flux through a single loop of wire increases by 30 Tm^2 , an average current of 40 A is induced in the wire. Assuming that the wire has a resistance of 2.5 ohms , (a) over what period of time did the flux increase? (b) If the current had been only 20 A, how long would the flux increase have taken?

Answer:

(a). The time period is 0.3s.

(b). The time period is 0.6s.

Explanation:

Faraday's law says that for one loop of wire the emf $\varepsilon$ is

$(1). \: \: \varepsilon = \dfrac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t }$

and since from Ohm's law

$\varepsilon = IR$ ,

then equation (1) becomes

$(2). \: \:IR= \dfrac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t }.$

(a).

We are told that the change in magnetic flux is $\Phi_B = 30Tm^2$ , the current induced is $I = 40A$ , and the resistance of the wire is $R = 2.5\Omega$ ; therefore, equation (2) gives

$(40A)(2.5\Omega)= \dfrac{30Tm^2}{\Delta t },$

which we solve for $\Delta t$ to get:

$\Delta t = \dfrac{30Tm^2}{(40A)(2.5\Omega)},$

$\boxed{\Delta t = 0.3s}$ ,

which is the period of time over which the magnetic flux increased.

(b).

Now, if the current had been $I =20A$ , then equation (2) would give

$(20A)(2.5\Omega)= \dfrac{30Tm^2}{\Delta t },$

$\Delta t = \dfrac{30Tm^2}{(20A)(2.5\Omega)},$

$\boxed{\Delta t = 0.6 s\\}$

which is a longer time interval than what we got in part a, which is understandable because in part a the rate of change of flux $\dfrac{\Delta \Phi_B}{\Delta t}$ is greater than in part b, and therefore , the current in (a) is greater than in (b).

Give three advantages and three disadvantages of nuclear power. Support each with evidence. This response should be a complete a

Talja [164]

The paragraph is going to be your responsibility but I can provide the pros and cons.

Advantages include the fact that Uranium is a plentiful resource, it is relatively clean, and it takes very little resources to make power.

However disadvantages include radioactive byproducts which need longtime storage. Uranium is also a nonrenewable resource, meaning it can run out. Additionally safety issues regarding melt downs are a major concern.
