Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Desertification is usually defined as the process by which a productive land is transformed into a desert. This process occurs mainly in the arid, semi-arid as well as in the dry sub-humid areas, where there occurs less amount of rainfall and presence of less or no moisture content in the air.

It is caused by various processes, such as-

  • Cutting down of trees, in order to make urban areas.
  • Lack of rainfall.
  • Overgrazing of animals.
  • Low level of groundwater.
  • Forest-fire can also lead to desertification, as the trees are burned by this process.
  • Soil erosion also is a major cause.
  • It also occurs due to changes that occur in the climate of the area.

Thus, the above-given statement is true.

A beam of protons moves in a circle of radius 0.20 m. The protons move perpendicular to a 0.36-T magnetic field. (a) What is the
gregori [183]

Answer:

a) v=6.898\times 10^{6}\ m.s^{-1} is the speed of each proton

b) F_c=3.97\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given:

radius of path of motion, r=0.2\ m

we know charge on protons, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

magnetic field strength, B=0.36\ T

we've mass of proton, m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

a)

From the equivalence of magnetic force and the centripetal force on the proton:

F_B=F_C

q.v.B=\frac{m.v^2}{r}

q.B=\frac{m.v}{r}

where:

v = speed of the proton

(1.6\times 10^{-19})\times 0.36=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times v}{0.2}

v=6.898\times 10^{6}\ m.s^{-1} is the speed of each proton

b)

Now the centripetal force on each proton:

F_c=m.\frac{v^2}{r}

F_c=1.67\times 10^{-27}\times \frac{(6.898\times 10^6)^2}{0.2}

F_c=3.97\times 10^{-13}\ N

If you weighed 100 lb on Earth, what would you weigh at the upper atmosphere of Jupiter? For reference, Jupiter has a mass that
nignag [31]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

A 100 lb person would weigh 300.33 lbf at the upper atmosphere of Jupiter

Explanation:

To solve the question we note that

Mass of object = 100 lb =‪ 45.35924‬ kg

Mass of Jupiter = 300×Mass of Earth = 300×5.972 × 10²⁴ kg =1.7916×10²⁷ kg

Radius of Jupiter = 10× Radius of Earth = 10×6,371 km = 63710 km

Gravitational constant, G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg-1 s-2

Gravitational force is given by F_G= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Plugging in the values we get

F_G = \frac{6.67408*10^{-11}*45.35924*1.7916*10^{27}}{63710^2} = 1335.93 N

Converting into lbf gives 1335.93 N *0.2248 lbf/N = 300.33 lbf

What can waves be transmitted by? How do you know?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

i don’t know what kind of waves you mean but if you’re talking about sound waves...

Explanation:

“Sound waves are transmitted through solids, liquids, and gases. Light waves are transmitted through transparent materials (may be clear or colored material such as filters) that allow most of the light that strikes them to pass through them. Only a small amount of light is reflected or absorbed.”

What is the momentum of a 2000 kg mass moving at 3 meters per second
podryga [215]

Answer:

<h2>6000 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 2000 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>6000 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
