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.

I attach a 4.1 kg block to a spring that obeys Hooke's law and supply 3.8 J of energy to stretch the spring. I release the block

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

Explanation:

Given;

mass of attached block, m = 4.1 kg

energy of the stretched spring, E = 3.8 J

period of oscillation, T = 0.13 s

First, determine the spring constant, k;

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

where;

T is the period oscillation

m is mass of the spring

k is the spring constant

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\k = \frac{m*4\pi ^2}{T^2} \\\\k = \frac{4.1*4*(3.142^2)}{(0.13^2)} \\\\k = 9580.088 \ N/m\\\\$

Now, determine the amplitude of oscillation, A;

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2$

where;

E is the energy of the spring

k is the spring constant

A is the amplitude of the oscillation

$E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2\\\\2E = kA^2\\\\A^2 = \frac{2E}{k} \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2*3.8}{9580.088} }\\\\A = 0.0282 \ m\\\\A = 2.82 \ cm$

Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillation is 2.82 cm

A 5cm tall object is placed 4cm in front of a converging lens that has a focal length of 8cm. Where is the image located in ____

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

a. -8 cm

Explanation:

$d_{o}$ = distance of the object = 4 cm

$d_{i}$ = distance of the image = ?

$f$ = focal length of the converging lens = 8 cm

using the lens equation

$\frac{1}{d_{o}} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{d_{i}} = \frac{1}{8}$

$d_{i}$ = - 8 cm

Modern wind turbines generate electricity from wind power. The large, massive blades have a large moment of inertia and carry a

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Each blade is in the form of rod with axis near one end of the rod

Moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x m l²

where m is mass of the blade

l is length of each blade.

Total moment of moment of 3 blades

= 3 x $\frac{1}{3}$ x m l²

ml²

2 )

Given

m = 5500 kg

l = 45 m

Putting these values we get

moment of inertia of one blade

= 1/3 x 5500 x 45 x 45

= 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

Moment of inertia of 3 blades

= 3 x 37.125 x 10⁵ kg.m²

= 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m²

c )

Angular momentum

= I x ω

I is moment of inertia of turbine

ω is angular velocity

ω = 2π f

f is frequency of rotation of blade

d )

I = 111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² ( Calculated )

f = 11 rpm ( revolution per minute )

= 11 / 60 revolution per second

ω = 2π f

= 2π x 11 / 60 rad / s

Angular momentum

= I x ω

111 .375 x 10⁵ kg.m² x 2π x 11 / 60 rad / s

= 128.23 x 10⁵ kgm² s⁻¹ .
