<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Running water on the Surface of Earth.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Weathering can be defined as the phenomenon of breaking or disintegration of the rocks, minerals, soil etc. due to coming in contact with the Earth's atmosphere such as the Water, Wind, Organisms etc.

In this process the rocks, minerals disintegrate into lot of small particles.

But the rate of weathering on Earth is at a very unusual or unique rate because Earth's surface has the presence of the running water that leads to the high rate of surface weathering.

<em><u>Therefore, the reason of Earth's rapid weathering rates is Running water on the Surface of Earth.</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

A piece of wood 400N in weight and 50cm X 30cm X 20cm in size lies on 50cm X 20cm face. Calculate the pressure exerted by it.
Serga [27]

Answer:

P = 4000 [Pa]

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force and the area where the body rests.

The support area is equal to:

A=50*20=1000[cm^{2} ]

But we must convert from square centimeters to square meters.

1000[cm^{2}]*\frac{1^{2}m^{2}  }{100^{2}m^{2}  }=0.1[m^{2} ]

And the pressure is:

P=\frac{F}{A} \\P=400/0.1\\P=4000[N/m^{2} ]or 4000[Pa]

Things you can do with an environmental engineering major and a broadcasting minor?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

With an  Environmental  Engineering  and a broadcasting minor

You can work as an On Air  personality that host  programs that provide your audience with  documentaries about the environments and project carried out by Environmental Engineer

and also you can work as a journalist that explore the world making research that will preserve the environment  and leveraging the media as a broadcaster to provide this research findings as a video for you audience  

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding let define some terms

Environmental Engineer :

Environmental engineers resolve and help prevent environmental problems. They work in many areas, including air pollution control, industrial hygiene, toxic materials control, and land management. The duties of an environmental engineer range from planning and designing an effective waste treatment plant to studying the effects of acid rain on a particular area. An environmental engineer is sometimes required to work outdoors, though most of her work is done in a laboratory or office setting. Career opportunities for environmental engineers exist in consulting, research, corporate, and government positions.

Broadcasting:

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.

Find the acceleration that can result from a net force of 13 N exerted on a 3.6-kg cart. (Note: The unit N/kg is equivalent to m
STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 3.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

In this case we have:

F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]
