Which of the following describes deposition?

1 answer:

7 0

Deposition is geological process of sediments, soil and rocks that are added to land-form or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited. Technically Building up layers of sediment.

A race car traveling at 10 meters per second accelerates at 1.5 meters per second squared while moving a distance of 600 meters.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

vi = 10 m/s

a = 1.5 m/s^2

d = 600 m

vf = ?

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

vf^2 = 10^2 + 2*1.5 * 600

vf^2 = 100 + 1800

vf^2 = 1900

sqrt(vf^2) = sqrt(1900)

vf = 43.59 m/s

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule ( $H_{2}O$ ) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

What are tectonic plates, and which of Earht's layers are they composed of?

motikmotik

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?

anastassius [24]

The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
$\rho = \frac{AR}{L}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
$A=\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
$\rho = \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}$

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
$\rho' = \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4 \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L} = 4 \rho$
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

yvonne van gennip of the netherlands ice skated 10.0 km with an average speed of 10.8 m/s. suppose vang ennip crosses the finish

Sophie [7]

By conservation of momentum, we will find that the mass is 4.97 kg.

So in the original system, we have two objects, the bouquet of flowers of mass M that is not moving and Yvonne, which has a mass of 63 kg and a speed of 10.8 m/s.

Then the total momentum of this system is:

P = (63kg)*(10.8m/s) + M*(0 m/s) = 680.4 kg*m/s.

Remember the conservation of momentum, thus, the final momentum must be equal to the above one.

In the final situation, Yvonne and the bouquet move together with a speed of 10.01 m/s,

Then the final momentum is:

P' = (63kg + M)*(10.01 m/s)

And that must be equal to the initial momentum, then we have the equation:

(63kg + M)*(10.01 m/s) = 680.4 kg*m/s.

630.63kg*m/s + M*10.01 m/s = 680.4 kg*m/s.

M*10.01 m/s = 680.4 kg*m/s - 630.63kg*m/s = 49.77 kg*m/s

M = (49.77 kg*m/s)/(10.01 m/s) = 4.97 kg

So the mass of the bouquet is 4.97 kg
