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.

You apply a net force on a soccer ball of 15 N. If the acceleration it has is 5 m/s2 what is the mass of the ball?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the ball can be found by using the formula

$m = \frac{f}{a} \\$

f is the force

a is the acceleration

We have

$m = \frac{15}{5} = 3 \\$

We have the final answer as

What is a <br> quadratic graph

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola whose axis of symmetry is parallel to the y -axis. The coefficients a,b, and c in the equation y=ax2+bx+c y = a x 2 + b x + c control various facets of what the parabola looks like when graphed.

What is the net torque on the square plate, with sides 0.2 m, from each of the three forces? F1=18 N, F2=26 N, and F3=14 N. Use

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Side = 0.2 m

Force $F_{1}=18\ N$

Force $F_{2}=26\ N$

Force $F_{3}=14\ N$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₁

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}d_{1}$

$\tau_{1}=-F_{1}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{1}=-18\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{1}=-1.8\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₂

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}d_{2}$

$\tau_{2}=F_{2}\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{2}=26\times\dfrac{0.2}{2}$

$\tau_{2}=2.6\ N-m$

We need to calculate the torque due to force F₃

Using formula of torque

$\tau_{3}=F_{3}d_{3}$

$\tau_{3}=(F_{3}\sin45+F_{3}\cos45)\times\dfrac{a}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\tau_{3}=0.1(14\sin45+14\cos45)$

$\tau_{3}=1.92\ N-m$

We need to calculate the net torque on the square plate

$\tau=\tau_{1}+\tau_{2}+\tau_{3}$

$\tau=-1.8+2.6+1.92$

$\tau=2.72\ N-m$

Hence, The net torque on the square plate is 2.72 N-m.

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Incomplete question as the unit of volume is not written correctly.So the complete question is here:

A straightforward method of finding the density of an object is to measure its mass and then measure its volume by submerging it in a graduated cylinder. What is the density of a 240-g rock that displaces 89.0 cm³?

Answer:

$d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=240g

Volume V=89.0 cm³

To find

Density d

Solution

If rock displaces 89.0 cm³ of water means volume of rock is also 89cm³

$d_{Density}=\frac{mass}{volume}\\d_{Density}=\frac{240g}{89.0cm^{3} } \\d_{Density}=2.7g/cm^{3}$
