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.

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 31.0 nC , respecti

allsm [11]

Answer:

The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

Explanation:

From Gauss's Law

Φ = Q/ε₀

where;

Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C

Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀

Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

Q = −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC

Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃

− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃

− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃

− 21.7nC = q₃

Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC

A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the

irina [24]

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$x=V_{o} cos \theta t$ (1)

$y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ (2)

Where:

$x$ is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

$V_{o}=23 m/s$ is the cannonball initial velocity

$\theta=0\°$ since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

$t$ is the time

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball

$y_{o}=1.96 m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating $t$ from (2):

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}}$ (3)

$t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (4)

$t=0.63 s$ (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

$x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s$ (6)

Finally:

$x=14.49 m$

g A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2 A. The current is reduced to 1.4 A when an additional 2.2 Ω resistor

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

R1 = 5.13 Ω

Explanation:

From Ohm's law,

V = IR............... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = current, R = resistance.

From the question,

I = 2 A, R = R1

Substitute into equation 1

V = 2R1................ Equation 2

When a resistance of 2.2Ω is added in series with R1,

assuming the voltage source remain constant

R = 2.2+R1, and I = 1.4 A

V = 1.4(2.2+R1)................. Equation 3

Substitute the value of V into equation 3

2R1 = 1.4(2.2+R1)

2R1 = 3.08+1.4R1

2R1-1.4R1 = 3.08

0.6R1 = 3.08

R1 = 3.08/0.6

R1 = 5.13 Ω
