Earth’s surface is subjected to unusually high rates of weathering. The Moon and some of the inner planets of our solar system a

re also subject to surface weathering, but at much slower rates. Which of the following statements most reasonably explains Earth’s uniquely rapid weathering rates?

<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>

What is the car's average velocity (in m/s) in the interval between t = 1.0 s<br> to t = 1.5 s?
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following data:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Velocity (v) =..?

The velocity of an object can be defined as the rate of change of the displacement of the object with time. Mathematically, it can be expressed as follow:

Velocity = change of displacement /time

v = Δd / Δt

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the velocity of the car as follow:

Initial Displacement (d1) = 0.9 m

Final Displacement (d2) = 1.6 m

Change in displacement (Δd) = d2 – d1 = 1.6 – 0.9

= 0.7 m

Initial time (t1) = 1.5 secs

Final time (t2) = 2 secs

Change in time (Δt) = t2 – t1

= 2 – 1.5

= 0.5 s

Velocity (v) =..?

v = Δd / Δt

v = 0.7/0.5

v = 1.4 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 1.4 m/s

A young kid of mass m = 36 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the top of the swing set to the seat is L = 3.5 m. The boy
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy=36 kg

length of swing=3.5 m

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

Th-resold velocity is given by mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{9.8\times 3.5}=5.85 m/s

So apparent weight of boy will be zero at top when it travels with a velocity of v=\sqrt{gr}

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at Bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

Comparing two as energy is conserved

v_0^2=4gl+gl

v_0^2=5gL

v_0=\sqrt{5gL}=13.09 m/s

Apparent weight at bottom is given by

W=\frac{mv_0^2}{L}-mg=\frac{36\times 13.09^2}{3.5}+36\times 9.8=2115.23 N

A track coach records how long it takes a sprinter to run 100 meters the track coach is recording what dimension of behavior
melamori03 [73]
Behavior has at least six dimensions, which are: frequency, duration, latency, topography, locus, and force. Since the coach is recording how long it takes, the track coach is recording the duration behavior because duration is a synonym for time. Duration is your answer.

We push a 38.4-kg box across the floor at constant velocity. If we are pushing a horizontal force of 238 N, find the coefficient
zmey [24]

Answer: 0.62

Explanation:

Coefficient of friction is defined as the ratio of the moving force (Fm) acting on a body to the normal reaction (R).

Note that the normal reaction acts vertically on the object and is equal to the objects weight (W) i.e W=R

Since W = mg, W = 38.4 ×10

W= 384N =R

Normal reaction = 384N

The horizontal force acting on the body will be the moving force which is 238N

Coefficient of friction = Fm/R

Coefficient of friction = 238/384

Coefficient of friction = 0.62

Therefore, coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.62
