Answer:
Explanation:
While each of these can cause erosion and weathering, lightning is probably the least important as it occurs less frequently and affects a much smaller surface area when it strikes.
Wind is not very effective by itself, but it can carry abrasives which work to degrade rock surfaces. It covers a very large area at once so the net effect can be moderate to large especially desert areas where plants are not readily available to disrupt the flow.
Rain covers huge areas and is quite common.
Freezing/Thawing cycles cover large areas and are quite common in the temperate and arctic latitudes and even in tropical altitudes.
Attached is a photo taken atop Half Dome in Yosemite National Park showing two of thousands of divots in the rock there caused by lightning strikes. The current in the lightning heats the stone causing water trapped in it to flash to steam. The increased pressure inside the stone can overwhelm the material strength and blow rock chunks over a fairly good sized area. This is a fairly rapid weathering and erosion when it occurs, but that is typically limited to a few dozen days per year and occurs mostly on high ground where lightning is more likely to strike earth.
Answer:
Explanation:
Here is the full question and answer,
The archerfish is a type of fish well known for its ability to catch resting insects by spitting a jet of water at them. This spitting ability is enabled by the presence of a groove in the roof of the mouth of the archerfish. The groove forms a long, narrow tube when the fish places its tongue against it and propels drops of water along the tube by compressing its gill covers.
When an archerfish is hunting, its body shape allows it to swim very close to the water surface and look upward without creating a disturbance. The fish can then bring the tip of its mouth close to the surface and shoot the drops of water at the insects resting on overhead vegetation or floating on the water surface.
Part A: At what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down a floating insect located at a distance 0.800 m from the fish? Assume that the fish is located very close to the surface of the pond and spits the water at an angle 60 degrees above the water surface.
Part B: Now assume that the insect, instead of floating on the surface, is resting on a leaf above the water surface at a horizontal distance 0.600 m away from the fish. The archerfish successfully shoots down the resting insect by spitting water drops at the same angle 60 degrees above the surface and with the same initial speed v as before. At what height h above the surface was the insect?
Answer
A.) The path of a projectile is horizontal and symmetrical ground. The time is taken to reach maximum height, the total time that the particle is in flight will be double that amount.
Calculate the speed of the archer fish.
The time of the flight of spitted water is,
Substitute for g and
for
in above equation.
Spitted water will travel horizontally.
Displacement of water in this time period is
Substitute for
and
for x in above equation.
B.) There are two component of velocity vertical and horizontal. Calculate vertical velocity and horizontal velocity when the angle is given than calculate the time of flight when the horizontal distance is given. Value of the horizontal distance, angle and velocity are given. Use the kinematic equation to solve the height of insect above the surface.
Calculate the height of insect above the surface.
Vertical component of the velocity is,
Substitute for v and
for
in above equation.
Horizontal component of the velocity is,
Substitute for v and
for
in above equation.
When horizontal distance away from the fish.
The time of flight for distance (d) is ,
Substitute for d and
for
in equation
Distance of the insect above the surface is,
Substitute for
and
for t and
for g in above equation.
