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.

The x and y components of the velocity vector is 17.32 m/s and 10 m/s respectively.

<h3>What is the x - component of the velocity?</h3>

The x-component of the ball's velocity is the velocity of the ball in the horizontal direction or x-axis.

The velocity of the ball in x-direction is calculated as follows;

Vx = V cosθ

where;

  • Vx is the horizontal velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vx = (20 m/s) x (cos 30)

Vx = 17.32 m/s

The velocity of the ball in y-direction is calculated as follows;

Vy = V sinθ

where;

  • Vy is the vertical velocity of the ball
  • V is the speed of the ball
  • θ is the angle of inclination of the speed

Vy = 20 m/s x sin(30)

Vy = 10 m/s

Ann is driving down a street at 61 km/h.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

12.267 seconds approximately.

Explanation:

The units can be simplified into m/s, in which case you would have 61000/3600. Simplify that to 16 and 17/18. This is your meters per second, so multiply that by .724 to get the answer.
