What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?

Physics
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]3 years ago
8 0
<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>

The acceleration of a train moving from rest and its speed reaches 36m/sec in 9 sec​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

4 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as: Δv/Δt (the difference of the velocity over a time period in which happens that difference).

Remember that a difference is calculated by subtracting the initial value of a physical quantity from its final value.

In our case:

Δv = Vfinal - Vinitial = 36m/s - 0 m/s = 36m/s

Δt = 9s

a = Δv/Δt = 36m/s / 9s = 4m/s^2

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.
Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is  1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(c) The energy lost when the coaster drops is 531,512.8 J.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J

Spesifikasi solder listrik 220 volt/60 watt. solder tersebut dipasang pada tegangan 110 volt. daya ada solder listrik tersebut a
Katarina [22]
One of the useful forns of the formula for electrical power is: Power = (voltage squared) / (resistance). Knowing that power is proportional to (voltage squared), we can see that if the voltage is reduced to 1/2, the power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value. The 220volt/60watt appliance, when operated on 110 volts, dissipates 60/4 = 15 watts.

What leads astronomers to believe that some large moons associated with the giant planets have compositions that are roughly hal
Sonja [21]
<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>
