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 ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho
dlinn [17]

Answer:

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius = 2R

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state  

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Therefore the enclosing layer moves x =\frac{-R}{2}

A laser with a power of 1.0 mW has a beam radius of 1.0 mm. What is the peak value of the electric field in that beam
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

The pressure of air pushing down on a house roof is extremely large. Why is the roof not crushed?
Degger [83]
There is still air inside of a house, which is pushing the roof upwards, so the forces are equal and the roof is not crushed.
