Frost wedging happens when _____.

Physics
1 answer:
KiRa [710]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break

Weathering is a natural process in which the rocks break into pieces or sediments by the action of wind, water and chemical agents. Frost wedging is a physical weathering process. It occurs in an area where temperature fluctuations occurs due to change in the climatic conditions. This occurs due to rapid heating and cooling. The rocks lying in a cold environment, the water residing in the rocks gets freezed. The water in ice form that is solid form acquire more space than in liquid form, therefore, the developed ice will affect the physical structure of the rock. The formation of ice results in the development of break or crack in the rock typically in the shape of a wedge and thus the phenomena is called as frost wedging.

Hence, frost wedging happens when water freezes inside a rock, causing it to break.

What is the magnitude of g at a height above Earth's surface where free-fall acceleration equals 6.5m/s^2?
prohojiy [21]

You've given the answer, right there in your question.

The "magnitude of gravity" is described in terms of the acceleration
due to it, and you just told us what that is.

We can also notice that the figure you gave is about 0.66 of the
acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface. That tells us that
the distance from the Earth's center at that height is about 

                     (1 / √0.66) = 1.23 times

the Earth's radius, so the height is about  910 miles above the surface.

If blue light hits a red filter, what kind of light comes through the filter?
kotegsom [21]
It can be either C or B

Reasons it can be C: Red and Blue together(if I'm correct in art) is the combined color of two of the 3 primary colors to get a purple/violet color and if said filter is see through or just too dense for the light to even penetrate the said filter(in theory) but all in all purple is the answer with the two primary colors blue and red.

But also, it depends on what kind of filter it is, if the filter is like a screen filter then it will just come out in blue with the slightly different colors of again purple but in a darker tone then the actual eye can see.

Or it can be just C again cause the filter can be a film but that's a bit too far and to complex for right now so I believe it is B

A 1.5-kg ball is throw at 10 m/s. What is the balls momentum?
alexdok [17]

Answer : The momentum of ball is, 15 kg.m/s

Explanation :

Momentum : It is defined as the motion of a moving body. Or it is defined as the product of mass of velocity of an object.

Formula of momentum is:

where,  

p = momentum  = ?

m = mass  = 1.5 kg

v = velocity = 10 m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Therefore, the momentum of ball is 15 kg.m/s
