Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock by environmental factors. This process is always at work, and there are a number of different types of mechanical weathering. Thermal expansion is the tendency for minerals to expand and contract based on temperature.

Answer:Mechanical weathering is actually breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces by natural forces. Any weathering processes that can cause the physical breakdown of rocks without any type of change in the chemical composition of rocks, called mechanical weathering.

Exfoliation: It's a process where the rocks erodes by peeling off in sheets or layer by layer rather than grain by grain.

Explanation:therefore exfoliation will match the answer to your question

Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles Î± = 41.4Â° and Î²

storchak [24]

The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
$\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}$

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
$\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})$

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
$\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] = a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})$

Because $\vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0$ , the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
or
a + 0.847b = 0 (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
or
a + 1.4228b = 52.926 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

Calculate the time period of simple pendulum whose length is 98.2cm

alekssr [168]

The time period resulting in oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

<h3>What is the period of oscillation?</h3>

The period is the amount of time it takes for a particle to perform one full oscillation. T is the symbol for it. Taking the reciprocal of the frequency yields the frequency of the oscillation.

The time period of the oscillation is;

$\rm T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}} \\\\ \rm T = 2 \times 3.14 \times \sqrt{ \frac{98.2 \ \times 10^{-2} \ m}{9.81 \ m/s^2}} \\\\ T= 1.986 \ sec$

Hence the time period resulting oscillations will be 1.986 seconds.

The brainstem is to breathing and arousal as the limbic system is to memories and: (2 points)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The brainstem is to breathing and arousal as the limbic system is to memories and emotion. See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

The limbic system develops certain responses to emotional stimuli (joy, anger, sadness, fear, pleasure). It interacts with the autonomic endocrine and nervous system. It is also related to sexuality, memory, attention, memories. It includes some areas such as hypothalamus, tonsil, hippocampus, among others.

A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co

Karolina [17]

<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.
