Biology

Answer:

D. Thermal expansion

Explanation:

MECHANICAL WEATHERING

can be defined as the gradual disintegration of rock into smaller particles which later turn into soil. when mechanical weathering occurs, it doesn't change the chemical composition of the rock. mechanical weathering are caused by abrasion by ice water, thermal expansion, root of trees growing on the rock.

THERMAL EXPANSION

This is a mechanical  process of weathering. during the day when there is high temperature and hits the rock surface, the rock absorbs heat expands . at night when the temperature drops the rock contrast. Repeated action of expansion and contraction results in gradual breakdown of rock to form soil.

Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s
slava [35]

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

<em>Speed </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude</em>

<em>Velocity </em>is looking at the <em>magnitude </em><em>and </em><em>direction.</em>

Also the phosphates needed to create ATP will be inhibited and with a negative charge the cell will not reach threshold to propagate a reaction along the axon.</span>
