As surface area increases, weathering rate

1 answer:

8 0

A rock's exposure to the weathering elements and its surface area can affect its rateof weathering. Rocks that are constantly bombarded by running water, wind, and other erosion agents, will weather more quickly. Rocks that have a large surface areaexposed to these agents will also weather more quickly.

hope this helps some .-.

Can anyone help me with any parts in question number 1: parallel circuit?

Leno4ka [110]

Question #1:

a). The sketch is attached to this answer.

b). The equivalent resistance of 30Ω and 50Ω in parallel is

1 / (1/30 + 1/50) = 18.75 Ω

c). I = V/R = (100/30) = (3 and 1/3) Amperes

d). Follow the wires, and you see that the 50Ω resistor is
connected directly to the battery, and so is the voltmeter.
So the voltage across the 50Ω resistor, and the reading
on the voltmeter, is 100 volts.

e). I = V/R
Through the 30Ω resistor: I = 3-1/3 A
Through the 50Ω resistor: I = 2 A

f). In the parallel circuit, both resistors are connected
directly to the battery. So neither resistor even knows
that the other one is there. Each resistor sees 100 volts,
and the current through each resistor is 100/R, just as if
it were the only resistor in the circuit.

What is the number at the end of an isotope’s name?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Explanation:

The liquid contains only one element. -The liquid is a pure substance. The number at the end of an isotope's name is the -mass number. While looking at xenon (Xe) on the periodic table, a student needs to find an element with a smaller atomic mass in the same group.

A ductile metal wire has resistance R. What will be the resistance of this wire in terms of R if it is stretched to three times

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the resistance is $R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}$ .

If we stretch the wire to a new length L2 = 3L, the cross-sectional area will also change. If the cross-sectional area doesn't change throughout the wire, we can say that:

Volume = L*A = 3L * A2 being A2 the new area after stretching the wire.

Since the volume remains the same we conclude that A2 = A/3

With this information, we calculate the new resistance:

$R2=\rho *\frac{L2}{A2}=\rho *\frac{3*L}{A/3}=\rho * 9 * \frac{L}{A}$

Since $R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}$ , and by simple inspection of the previous equation, we get:

R2 = 9*R

Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere?

Margaret [11]

You can eliminate the answer A because the moon is super cold
For answer B, atmosphere is contained of gasses, not just oxygen alone
Definitely not C
The answer is D because the moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold the gasses, as a result, only a small amount of gasses has an attraction to it ( the moon has a little atmosphere though) but not enough to be considered
