Mechanical weathering blank

Physics
1 answer:
Tresset [83]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering is the physical disintegration of rocks into chunks and bits.

Weathering is the physical and chemical disintegration of rocks to form sediments and soils.

  • Mechanical weathering is also known as physical weathering.
  • The sole aim of mechanical weathering is to increase the surface area of rocks so that chemical weathering will be more effective.
  • Mechanical weathering is made possible by:
  1. Pressure release on rock
  2. Frost action
  3. Thermal expansion and contraction.
  4. Alternate wetting and drying
  5. Salt crystal growth
  6. Biological activities

Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Shah did not trust the results of an experiment that she had read about, so she is conducting the experiment herself. She goes through the same set of steps and measures the effect of the amount of sugar on a single organism.

Which best describes what Shah is doing?

replication

repetition

both repetition and replication

neither repetition nor replication

Answer:

replication

Explanation:

Replication in scientific experiments refer to the process of going through all the steps in an experiment in order to obtain the same set of results initially obtained.

All scientific experiments is expected to be replicated under identical experimental conditions. If the results obtained by a scientific investigation cannot be replicated under identical circumstances by other scientists, then the scientific data must be taken with a pinch of salt.

Shah is expected to obtain almost exactly the same data as the original researchers who first published the data.

If a speeding train hits the brakes and it takes the train 39 seconds to go from 54.8 m/s to 12 m/s what is the acceleration?
jekas [21]

Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let |a| = 22 lb and |b| = 16 lb. Rou
SVEN [57.7K]

Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here

Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)  

Answer:

Resultant Force=33.8 lb

Angle=67.2°

Explanation:

Given data

Fa=22 lb

Fb=16 lb

Θ=55⁰

To find

(i) Resultant Force F

(ii)Angle α

Solution

First we need to represent the forces in vector form

\sqrt{x} F_{1}=22j\\ F_{2}=u+v\\F_{2}=16sin(55)i+16cos(55)j\\F_{2}=16(0.82)i+16(0.5735)j\\F_{2}=13.12i+9.176j

Total Force

F=F_{1}+F_{2}\\ F_{2}=22j+13.12i+9.176j\\F_{2}=13.12i+31.176j

The Resultant Force is given as

|F|=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\|F|=\sqrt{(13.12)^{2} +(31.176)^{2} }\\ |F|=33.8lb

For(ii) angle

We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x

So

tan\alpha =\frac{31.176}{13.12}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{31.176}{13.12})\\\alpha =67.2^{o}
