Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)
First segment:
15 m/s for 10 sec; distance covered = (15 x 10) = 150 m
Second segment:
20 m/s for 20 sec; distance covered = (20 x 20) = 400 m
Third segment:
30 m/s for 15 sec; distrance covered = (30 x 15) = 450 m
Total time = (10s + 20s + 15s) = 45 sec
Total distance = (150m + 400m + 450m) = 1,000 m (1 km)
<em>Average speed</em> = (1,000 m) / (45 sec) = <em>22.22 m/s</em>
Answer:
<em>1.2 cm</em>
Explanation:
<u>Thermal Expansion</u>
It's the tendency that materials have to change its size and/or shape under changes of temperature. It can be in one (linear), two (surface) or three (volume) dimensions.
The formula to compute the expansion of a material under a change of temperature from
to
is given by.

Where Lo is the initial length and
is the linear temperature expansion coefficient, which value is specific for each material. The data provided in the problem is as follows:

Computing the expansion we have

The expansion gap should be approximately 1.2 cm
The process that most directly helps create soil from rocks is Weathering.
