Which are causes of mechanical weathering? (check all that apply)

Physics

solmaris [256]4 years ago

The correct answers are:

B. plant growth;

C. animal actions;

The mechanical weathering is a type of weathering where physical force is included into the breaking up of the rocks. The plants and the animals are both causing this type of weathering with their actions. The plants can cause mechanical weathering with their roots, as they grow and surround a rock, they are able to create such a pressure that they can break the rock apart. Also, as their trunks are getting bigger, if there's rocks right next to them, the pressure from the growing of the trunk will crack the rocks. The animals are able to move the rocks, as well as pushing them, or even deliberately throwing them, so they manage to break up parts of them and cause mechanical weathering.

One of two nonconducting spherical shells of radius a carries a charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface, the other carri
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) The spheres are non conducting , charge will not move on the surface so neutralization of charge by + ve and - ve charge is not possible. Charges will remain intact on them . The electric field inside them will be zero . Electric field outside shell  will not be spherically symmetrical . Lines of force will emanate from the surface of positively charged shell  outwardly oriented  and end at negatively charged shell .

B )

distance between the centres of spherical shell

= 2 a

potential energy of charges

= k q₁ x q₂ / R

= k x - Q x Q / ( 2a )

= - k Q²/ 2a

So work needed to separate them to infinity will be equal to

= k Q²/ 2a

Consider two planets in space that gravitationally attract each other if the mass of one of them stays the same and the mass of
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

D. half as much

Explanation:

let m and M be the mass of the planets and r be the distance between them.

then: the force of attraction between them is given by,

F = G×m×M/(r^2)

if we keep one mass constant and double the other and also double the distance between them.

the force of attraction becomes:

F1 = 2G×m×M/[(2×r)^2]

   = 2G×m×M/[4×(r)^2]

   = (1/2)G×m×M/(r^2)

   = 1/2×F

therefore, when you double one mass and keep the other mass constant and double the distance between the masses you decrease the force by a factor of 1/2.

a bungee jumper momentarily comes to rest at the bottom of the dive before he springs back upward. at that moment, is the bungee
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

No, the bungee jumper is not at equilibrium.

This can be explained when we consider a bungee jumper as a mass that is undergoing simple harmonic motion. At extreme points i.e. at the bottom, the velocity of the jumper is zero but not the acceleration because it is acting in the opposite direction that is why the jumper moves upward.
