Cody's family went hiking along a stream in Georgia and found a waterfall. At the bottom of the waterfall, they noticed many sma

ll pebbles with smooth edges on the bottom of the stream. If Cody's family added more rocks to the stream at the bottom of the waterfall, what should they expect to happen to the size of the rocks?

Answer:

They can expect the size of the rocks to get smaller as the time passes.

Explanation:

They can expect the size of the rocks to get smaller as the time passes.

  • This is so because the water falling from certain height under waterfall will exert mechanical impact on the rock due to the mass of the water. This will act as water hammer <em>causing wear and tear</em> to the rock particles and flowing them away with the stream of water.
  • This hydraulic shock is generated when there is sudden stoppage in the motion of water. In sync with Newton's second law of motion, when the momentum of water is changed within a short course of time it creates a hammer like impact which has potential  of wear and tear when an object is continuously subjected to it.

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.

siniylev [52]

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron <u>negative</u> blanket that binds the atomic <u>positive</u> nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are <u>{ Negative }</u> and <u>{ Positive }.</u>

anastassius [24]
The average speed of a moving body is given by:
average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = 560 / 25
22.4 meters per second

The skier is traveling at an average velocity of 22.4 meters per second.

Identify which one is chemical change, chemical property,physical change and physical property
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Heat conductivity: Physical property

Silver tarnishing: chemical change

Sublimation: physical change

Magnetizing steel: physical property

Length of a metal object: physical property

Shortening melting: physical property

exploding dynamite: chemical change

combustible: chemical property

water freezing: physical change

Acid resistance: chemical property

brittleness: physical property

milk souring: chemical change

baking bread: chemical change

Explanation:

First you need to understand the differences between physical and chemical change; physical and chemical property.

<u>Physical properties vs chemical properties:</u>

Physical properties are properties that you can observe without changing the substance's composition. This means you can measure these properties without changing them chemically.

Chemical properties, on the other hand, are properties are not as direct. These properties are generally determined by the way the react with other substances changing their composition.

<u>Physical changes vs chemical changes:</u>

A substance that undergoes physical change does not change in chemical composition. They may look physically different in terms of size and shape, but overall, their chemical composition remains constant. The best example would be water. Water can change phases, from solid to liquid when they melt. Essentially, they look like different substances, but the change is only physical and not chemical.

Chemical change, is different by the fact that they change in chemical composition. Bonds are broken and/or made through the reaction, which changes them not only physically but chemically as well. Some of the most indicative signs of a chemical change occurring are: change in color, odor, production of gas, production of light/heat.

a 100 g cart initially moving at 0.5 m/s collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. a) using the equation in the theory,
cupoosta [38]

A 100 g cart is moving at 0.5 m/s that collides elastically from a stationary 180 g cart. Final velocity is calculated to be 0.25m/s.

Collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision is known as elastic collision . Momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

Collision in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy is inelastic collision.

For an elastic collision, we use the formula,

m₁V₁i+ m₂V₂i = m₁V1f + m₂V₂f

For a perfectly elastic collision, the final velocity of the 100g cart will each be 1/2 the velocity of the initial velocity of the moving cart.

Final velocity = 0.5/2

=0.25 m/s.
