How are weather from ice and plants different from weathering from wind and water?

1 answer:

“Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soil and minerals as well as wood and artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, roughly translated to: “with no movement”, and thus should not be confused with erosion, which involves the movement of rocks and minerals by agents such as water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity and then being transported and deposited in other locations.”

Weathering processes are of three main types: mechanical, organic and chemical weathering.

Answer:

collecting information
imaging

Explanation:

Remote sensing means we do not have to be physically present in that particular area that we're studying by taking certain measurements. Several tools have been developed overtime to enable us to make this feat possible. Satellites in orbit have a major role to play in this regard. They exist to gather information from outer space and captures images that help us know more about our universe.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of aluminum from 10°C to 110°C, if the specific heat of al

dusya [7]

Answer:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is 4750 J

Explanation:

As we know that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is given as

$Q = ms\Delta T$

here we know that

m = 50 g

$\Delta T = 110 - 10$

$\Delta T = 100 ^oC$

so we have

$Q = 50(0.95)(100)$

$Q = 4750 J$

The slope on a distance-time graph shows a ball moving from 20 m to 40 m in 1 s and from 40 m to 80 m in the next second

eduard

The ball is accelerating

Explanation:

On a distance-time graph, the slope of the graph represents the speed of the object represented.

Let's therefore calculate the slope (so, the speed of the ball) in the two intervals given.

In the first second, we have:

$\Delta y = 40 - 20 = 20 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_1 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{20}{1}=20 m/s$

In the next second, we have:

$\Delta y = 80 - 40 = 40 m\\\Delta x = 1 s$

So the average speed is

$v_2 = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{40}{1}=40 m/s$

We notice that the speed of the ball has increased from 20 m/s in the first second to 40 m/s in the next second: this means that the speed of the ball is increasing, and therefore, the ball is accelerating.

Let’s say you pour an ounce of water from a class into a bowl. Does the water’s mass change?

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

No. If you take 5$ from your wallet and place on the shelf, does it change its value - No. So if you take the water from class(does not matter how much) and pour all of it somewhere else, it doesn't change its mass, yet it changes its shape.

A ship’s wheel is rotated 128 degrees. Its radius is 22 cm. How far would a point on the wheel’s edge move in this rotation?

ZanzabumX [31]

To solve this problem, we use this formula:
s = rθ

where
s is the arc length or in this case, the distance traveled by a point of a wheel
r is the radius of the circle or the wheel
θ is the subtended angle or the angle of rotation of the wheel

Plugging in the given values and converting degrees to radians
s = 22 *128 (π/180)
s = 49.15 cm
