Explanation:

The acceleration tells us how the speed changes per unit of time. If we say a body has a negative acceleration we are saying that its speed decreases over time.

If a body has a positive initial velocity and a negative acceleration: the velocity decreases. On the contrary, if the automobile has a negative initial velocity (in the opposite direction) and a negative acceleration: the velocity is increasing. Thus, an accelerating automobile starting from rest can have a negative acceleration.

Soil formation involves both

Softa [21]

The process of soil formation involves the following steps: Accumulation of materials, leaching and losses (because of weather factors particles are leached and eroded away or taken up from the soil by plants), Transformation and illluviation (the chemical weathering of silt, sand, and the formation of clay minerals as well as the change of organic materials into decay resistant organic matter), podsolisation and translocations (strong acidic solutions breakdown the clay minerals). From the given options soil formation involves both physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Correct answer:D

Two tuning forks of frequency 480 hz and 484 hz are struck simultaneously. what is the beat frequency resulting from the two sou

umka21 [38]

Ans: Beat frequency = $f_b$ = 4Hz

Explanation:
The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. In other words, the number of beats per second is equal to the difference in frequency. It is due to the destructive and constructive interference. According to this interference, sound will be soft or loud.

Hence. the formula is:
Beat frequency = $f_b = |f_2 - f_1|$

Since,
 $f_1 = 480Hz$
$f_2 = 484Hz$

Therefore,
Beat frequency = $f_b = |484 - 480|$

=> Beat frequency = $f_b = 4Hz$

Does anyone know how to solve this?

FromTheMoon [43]

Yes. There is a substantial number of people ... members of Brainly as well as non-members ... students, puzzle solvers, and just average educated thinkers, who would be able to solve it.
