Answer:

abrasion

Explanation:

Abrasion is the grinding away of rock by friction and impact during transportation. Rocks are broken down into smaller particles by the mechanism of weathering. There after erosion causes the transportation of these rock particles.The rocks particles began to mechanically scrape themselves due to friction . This process of rocks scraping themselves to causing wearing on the surface is known as Abrasion. The rock particles might be transported by wind, glacier, waves and erosion.

Due to abrasion the rock particles might further disintegrate into more smaller particles.

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

  The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

   Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

   statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

    Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

   Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

  Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

     If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

    Statement 6 is false.

Help on finding kinetic energy??
Jobisdone [24]
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.

65. The weight of a body when totally immersed in a liquid is 4.2N if he weight of the liquid displaced is 2.5N. Find the weight
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Given, Apparent weight(W₂)=4.2N

          Weight of liquid displaced (u)=2.5N

          Let weight of body in air = W₁

Solution,

             U=W₁-W₂

              W₁=4.2=2.5=6.7N

∴Weight of body in air is 6.7N
