c-undergoes the most change

Explanation:

Horizon B is the layer in a soil profile that has undergone the most change.

A section through a typical soil reveals many of the different layers.

The rock layers are divided into sections which are called horizons.

Horizon O is the organic matter

Horizon A is the top soil

Horizon B is the subsoil.

The subsoil of horizon B is the layer that undergoes the most change. It materials are constantly being leached away from this layer by chemical weathering. Some of the processes here accounts for it typical reddish brown color.

The rock layer here is rich in iron oxide and washed down minerals. It lacks significant amount of humus.

What is the difference between polarized light and unpolarized light?

vekshin1

Unpolarized light has light waves that are oriented in all directions while polarized light has all the light waves oscillating in one direction. An example for unpolarized is the Sun, or any other simple type of light.

You place a point charge q = -4.00 nC a distance of 9.00 cm from an infinitely long, thin wire that has linear charge density 3.

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of point charge, $q=-4\times 10^{-9}\ C$

radial distance from the linear charge, $r=0.09\ m$

linear charge density, $\lambda=3\times 10^{-9}\ C.m^{-1}$

<u>We know that the electric field by the linear charge is given as:</u>

$E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.\epsilon_0.r}$

$E=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 10^9\times \frac{3\times10^{-9}}{0.09}$

$E=150\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now the force on the given charge can be given as:</u>

$F=E.q$

$F=150\times 4\times 10^{-9}$

$F=6\times 10^{-7}\ N$

A 200 N trash can is pulled across the sidewalk by a person at constant speed by a force of 75 N. What is the coefficient of fri

Pavel [41]

Answer:

μ = 0.375

Explanation:

F = Applied force on the trash can = 75 N

W = weight of the trash can = 200 N

f = frictional force acting on trash can

Since the trash can moves at constant speed, force equation for the motion of can is given as

F - f = 0

75 - f = 0

f = 75 N

μ = Coefficient of friction

frictional force is given as

f = μ W

75 = μ (200)

μ = 0.375

How does the Earth's rotation affect our view of stars?

rodikova [14]

you only see the stars once every twenty for hours so you can have daylight so because of Earth's rotation you only see the stars for a certain amount of hours
