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.

seropon [69]

Answer:

The maximum value of the induced magnetic field is $2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of plate = 30 mm

Separation = 5.0 mm

Frequency = 60 Hz

Suppose the maximum potential difference is 100 V and r= 130 mm.

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

$\omega=2\pi f$

Put the value into the formula

$\omega=2\times\pi\times60$

$\omega=376.9\ rad/s$

When r>R, the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the r.

We need to calculate the maximum value of the induced magnetic field that occurs at r = R

Using formula of magnetic filed

$B_{max}=\dfrac{\mu_{0}\epsilon_{0}R^2\timesV_{max}\times\omega}{2rd}$

Where, R = radius of plate

d = plate separation

V = voltage

Put the value into the formula

$B_{max}=\dfrac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times(30\times10^{-3})^2\times100\times376.9}{2\times130\times10^{-3}\times5.0\times10^{-3}}$

$B_{max}=2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$

Hence, The maximum value of the induced magnetic field is $2.901\times10^{-13}\ T$ .

vivado [14]

Answer:

B = 0.546 T, F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

The magnetic force is

F = q v x B

We can calculate the magnitude of the force and find the direction by the right hand rule

F = q v B sin θ

Let's use Newton's second law

F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

We substitute

q v B sin θ = m v² / r

The angle between the field and the radius of the circle is 90º so sin 90 = 1

q B = m v / r

B = m v / q r

Let's calculate ’

B = 1.67 10⁻²⁷ 2.97 10⁷ / (1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.568)

B = 0.546 T

The foce is

F = q v B

F = 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 2.97 10⁷ 0.546

F = 2.59 10⁻¹² N
