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.

Why does Mars not have an electric field and why
tangare [24]

Answer:

The difference lies in the planets' respective magnetic fields, because while Earth's magnetism comes from within, Mars' does not. Earth's magnetism comes from its core, where molten, electrically conducting iron flows beneath the crust. Its magnetic field is global, meaning it surrounds the entire planet

According to newtos first law of motion. what is required to make a object slow down.
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that slows down moving objects. If you roll a ball across a shaggy rug, you can see that there are lumps and bumps in the rug that make the ball slow down. The rubbing, or friction, between the ball and the rug is what makes the ball stop rolling. External Force is required.
