What is the main cause of erosion

Physics
2 answers:
Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Erosion is caused by human activities like excessive construction, agriculture, surface mining and forestry. Removing the vegetative cover accelerates erosion, which is often caused by grazing, logging or cultivating. In some cases, it can be removed by pests like pigs, rabbits and goats.

A box sits at rest on a rough 33° inclined plane. Draw the free-body diagram, showing all the forces
Cloud [144]

(a) The free body of all the forces include, frictional force, weight of the box acting perpendicular and another acting parallel to the plane.

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

The free body diagram of all the forces on the box is obtained by noting the upward force and downward forces on the box as shown below;

                      /  W2

                    Ф → Ff

                    ↓W1

where;

  • Ff is the frictional force resisting the down motion of the box
  • W1 is the perpendicular component of the box weight = Wcos(33)
  • W2 is the parallel component of the box weight = Wsin(33)

(b) When the box is sliding down, the frictional force acts towards the right.

(c) When the box slides up, the direction of the frictional force changes, it acts towards the left.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current
larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A

A vertical scale on a spring balance reads from 0 to 155 N . The scale has a length of 10.0 cm from the 0 to 155 N reading. A fi
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

mass of the fish is 8.11 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm

Now we have

k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m

k = 1550 N/m

so now we have

2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}

m = 8.11 kg

so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg
