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

1 answer:

7 0

“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.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

A cart starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at 4.0 m/s2 for 5.0 s. It next maintains the velocity it has reached for 10 s.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Let's call the velocity that the car maintains for 10 seconds $v_f_1$ , and the final velocity $v_f_2$ .

$v_f_1=0+(4)(5)=20m/s \\\\v_f_2=20+(-2)(4)=12m/s$

Hope this helps!

Convert 1.5 radian into milliradians.

Alex

Answer:

1500 milliradians

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

1.5 radians

Now,

1 radians consists of 1000 milliradians

1 milli = 1000

thus for the 1.5 radians, we have

1.5 radians = 1.5 multiplied by 1000 milliradians

1.5 radians = 1500 milliradians

Hence, after the conversion

1.5 radians equals to the value 1500 milliradians

An aquarium open at the top has 30-cm-deep water in it. You shine a laser pointer into the top opening so it is incident on the

Setler [38]

Answer:

You must add 8cm of water to the tank

Explanation:

In order to find how much the height is we will use the Snell Refraction law

This law relates the index of refraction of the water (n2), the index of refraction of the air (n1), the incidence angle relative to the vertical (theta1) and the refraction angle relative to the vertical (theta2) by using the next equation:

$(n1)*(sin(theta1))=(n2)*(sin(theta2))$

Then we will find the refraction angle relative to the vertical this way:

$(n1/n2)*(sin(theta1))=sin(theta2)$

$(1/1.33)*(sin(45))=sin(theta2)$

Then, theta2=32.12°

Now that we have this information we can imagine a triangle with a 30cm height and a 32.12° angle. This way we can find how much X is, this X will be the distance between the vertical line and the spot the beam hits the bottom, so we can use some trigonometry to find it, this way:

$tan(32.12)=(X/30cm)$

$X=(tan(32.12))*(30cm)$

Then, X=18.8cm, we can approximate it to 19cm

Once we have X we will add 5cm to it which is how much the beam needs to be moved, then the new X will be 24cm

Now, with the new horizontal distance we will find the new vertical distance, let´s call it Y, this way we will know how much water we must add to move the beam, then we will have a triangle with a vertical distance called Y, the same 32.12° angle will be used as we are still working with the air-water interface and a 19cm horizontal distance, then:

$tan(32.12)=(24cm/Y)$

$Y=(24cm/tan(32.12))$

Then, Y=38cm

In this case, you must add 8cm of water to the tank to move the beam on the bottom 5cm
