Breaking rocks into pieces increases the rate at which the rock will weather chemically because breaking the rock exposes more surface area to weather.

Which of the following material offers the lowest resistivity?
Yuki888 [10]
Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood: 1.00\cdot 10^{3} \Omega \cdot m
Salt water: 2.00\cdot 10^{-1} \Omega \cdot m
Silver: 1.59\cdot 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m
Lead: 2.20\cdot 10^{-7} \Omega \cdot m
<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>

Which law is described by saying that doubling the absolute temperature will double the pressure of a sample of gas in a rigid c
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Gay Lussac law

Explanation:

Gay Lussac law states that for a gas kept at constant volume (so, in a rigid container), the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

In mathematical formula:

\frac{p}{T}=k

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

According to this law, we see therefore that if the absolute temperature of the gas is doubled:

T' = 2T

The pressure will also double:

\frac{p}{T}=\frac{p'}{T'}\\p' = p \frac{T'}{T}=p\frac{2T}{T}=2p

A meter stick whose mass is 290 grams lies on ice. You pull at one end of the meter stick, at right angles to the stick, with a
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer

given,

mass of the stick = 290 grams = 0.29 Kg

Force on the stick on one side = F =  9 N

force acting perpendicular to stick.

magnitude of acceleration

rate of change of angular momentum is equal to Force

rate of change of angular momentum = 9 N

F = m a

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{9}{0.29}

a = 31.034 m/s²

Direction of motion will in the direction of force application or in the direction of change of velocity

A satellite orbiting Earth has a tangential velocity of 5000 m/s. Earth’s mass is 6 × 1024 kg and its radius is 6.4 × 106 m.
Aloiza [94]
When a satellite is moving around the Earth's orbit, two equal forces are acting on it. The centripetal and the centrifugal force. The centripetal force is the force that attracts the object toward the center of the axis of rotation. The opposite force is the centrifugal force. It draws the object away from the center. When these forces are equal, the satellite uniformly rotates along the orbit.

Centripetal force = Centrifugal force
Mass of satellite * centripetal acceleration = Mass of satellite * centrifugal acceleration
Centripetal acceleration = Centrifugal acceleration

\frac{ M_{E}*G }{  ( r_{E} )^{2}  } =ω^2r

where

M_{E} = mass of earth

To convert to angular velocity:

ω = 5000/r

Then,

\frac{ (6 \ x \  10^{24}) *(6.6742 \ x \ 10^{-11} ) }{ ( 6.4 \ x \  10^{6})^{2} }= ( \frac{5000}{r} )^{2} r

r = 2557110.465 m

Therefore, the distance of the centers of the earth and the satellite is 2.6 x 10^6 m.
