Suppose you have a large boulder in your yard that you’d like to move. How could you break it into smaller pieces without using

a sledgehammer?

Is the question that is trying to be answered here how to move the boulder, or how to break up a boulder? If the purpose of the question is how to move the boulder from A to B, then you roll it.

-- Build a long, skinny campfire all around the rock, as close as possible to the rock, so the hot coals are right around the underside of the rock, and the flames lick up and around it.

-- Let it burn there for a few hours, so that a lot of the outside of the rock gets really hot.

-- Throw a big bunch of cold water on top of the rock ... enough so that it runs down the whole outside of the rock.

The thermal stresses that suddenly propagate through the rock, on the surface and for some distance into it, crack a layer of some thickness into several pieces, and the pieces fall off onto the ground.

If the cracking and crumbling doesn't extend far enough in, then just pick up the pieces of the layer that DID crumble off, and then go through the  whole same process again, with the inside smaller rock that remains.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!

A jet plane is cruising at 300 m/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.0 km, the je

<h2>The answer got is reasonable.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = 300 m/s  

Acceleration, a = ?

Final velocity, v = 400 m/s  

Displacement,s = 4 km = 4000 m

Substituting  

v² = u² + 2as

400² = 300² + 2 x a x 4000

a = 8.75 m/s² = 8.8 m/s²

The acceleration is 8.8 m/s²

The answer got is reasonable.

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t
Lapatulllka [165]
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .
