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.

Find the mass and center of mass of the solid E with the given density function ρ. E lies under the plane z = 3 + x + y and abov

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Work:

Density function: ρ(x, y, z) = 8

x-bounds: [0, 1], y-bounds: [0, x], z-bounds: [0, x+y+3]

The mass M of the solid is given by:

M = ∫∫∫ρ(dV) = ∫∫∫ρ(dx)(dy)(dz) = ∫∫∫8(dx)(dy)(dz)

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8z(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x+8y+24](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8xy+4y²+24y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[8x²+4x²+24x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[8x³/3+4x³/3+12x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 8/3+4/3+12

= 16

The mass of the solid is 16 units.

Now we have to find the center of mass of the solid which requires calculating the center of mass in the x, y, and z dimensions.

The z-coordinate of the center of mass Z is given by:

Z = (1/M)∫∫∫ρz(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8z(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫4z²(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[4(x+y+3)²](dx)(dy)

= ∫∫[4x²+24x+8xy+4y²+24y+36](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4x²y+24xy+4xy²+4y³/3+12y²+36y]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[28x³/3+36x²+36x]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[7x⁴/3+12x³+18x²], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 7/3+12+18

Z = (7/3+12+18)/16 = 2.021

The y-coordinate of the center of mass Y is given by:

Y = (1/M)∫∫∫ρy(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8y(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8yz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8xy+8y²+24y](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[4xy²+8y³/3+12y²]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[20x³/3+12x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[5x⁴/3+4x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 5/3+4

Y = (5/3+4)/16 = 0.3542

The x-coordinate of the center of mass X is given by:

X = (1/M)∫∫∫ρx(dV) = (1/16)∫∫∫8x(dx)(dy)(dz)

Calculate the integral then divide the result by 16.

First integrate with respect to z:

∫∫8xz(dx)(dy), evaluate z from 0 to x+y+3

= ∫∫[8x²+8xy+24x](dx)(dy)

Then integrate with respect to y:

∫[8x²y+4xy²+24xy]dx, evaluate y from 0 to x

= ∫[12x³+24x²]dx

Finally integrate with respect to x:

[3x⁴+8x³], evaluate x from 0 to 1

= 3+8 = 11

X = 11/16 = 0.6875

The center of mass of the solid lies at (0.6875, 0.3542, 2.021)

Sarah and Maisie are analysing data from their school sports day. Looking at the 1500 m results for Stephen, Maisie believes tha

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

What is indicated by the slope of an acceleration vs. time graph?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Option A is tge correct answer.

Explanation:

The reason for above answer is the slope of acceleration vs time graph shows the velocity as when the acceleration gets positive , the velocity gets increased and when the acceleration gets negative tgen velocity also decreases.

hope it helps..
