What is the main cause of erosion

2 answers:

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.

Erosion is mainly caused by water, wind, and gravity.

worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

$\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg$

where $m_a$ is the mass of the arrow, $m_b$ is the mass of the block, $\Delta H$ of the change in height of the block after the collision, and $v$ is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity $v$ , we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} }$

and we put in the numerical values

$m_a = 0.045kg$ ,

$m_b = 1.40kg,$

$\Delta H = 0.4m,$

$g= 9.8m/s^2$

and simplify to get:

$\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}$

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

Two bullets of the same size, mass and horizontal velocity are fired at identical blocks, only one is made of steel and the othe

tatiyna

Answer and Explanation:

Since we're discussing shots, the significant thing is the way the energy is changed over as there is deceleration of the bullet to a halt when it hits something.

Kinetic Energy is relative to mass times speed squared, so in reality, the 2 cases given have practically indistinguishable Kinetic energy. The measure of energy is authoritative, so the two cases will do generally a similar harm given, obviously we look at situations when all the kinetic energy is spent.

One contrast that will be effectively obvious is that the weapon in the case of heavy bullet will recoil more.
One can consider energy assimilation as force times separation distance, and energy ingestion as a product of force and time.
Henceforth, the heavier yet more slow bullet with a similar energy will venture to every part of a similar separation in the engrossing material, but since of bigger force, will take a more drawn out time doing it.
It will along these lines, additionally, give a more noteworthy "kick" to the object that absorbs.

Two blocks of masses 3.0 kg and 5.0 kg are connected by a spring and rest on a frictionless surface. They are given velocities t

miskamm [114]

Answer:

-0.7 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of first block = m1 =3.0 kg

Mass of second block = m2= 5.0 kg

Velocity of first block = V1= 1.2 m/s

Velocity of second block = V2 = ?

Momentum of Center of mass MVcom is sum of both blocks momentum and is given by

MVcom= m1v1+m2v2

Where

M= mass of center of mass

Vcom= Velocity of center of mass=0 m/s (because center of mass is at rest , so Vcom = 0 m.sec)

Putting values, we get;

0= 3×1.2+5v2

==> v2= 3.6/5= - 0.7 m/s

-ve sign indicates that block 2 is moving in opposite direction of block 1
