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.

An object that weighs 2.450 N is attached to an ideal massless spring and undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period o

Viktor [21]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 24.1 N/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the object, W = 2.45 N

Time period of oscillation of simple harmonic motion, T = 0.64 s

To find,

Spring constant of the spring.

Solution,

In case of simple harmonic motion, the time period of oscillation is given by :

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

m is the mass of object

$m=\dfrac{W}{g}$

$m=\dfrac{2.45}{9.8}$

m = 0.25 kg

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2m}{T^2}$

$k=\dfrac{4\pi^2\times 0.25}{(0.64)^2}$

k = 24.09 N/m

k = 24.11 N/m

So, the spring constant of the spring is 24.1 N/m.

As a projectile falls, what happens to the components of velocity?

netineya [11]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

An object when when projected at an angle, will have some horizontal velocity and vertical velocity such that,

$v_x=v\cos\theta\ \text{and}\ v_y=v\sin\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle of projection

The horizontal component of the projectile remains the same because there is no horizontal motion. Vertical component changes at every point.

As a projectile falls, vertical velocity increases in magnitude, horizontal velocity stays the same .

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level

Genrish500 [490]

Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.
