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.

It will take the battery 15 hours to discharge completely.

<h3>Energy stored in a battery</h3>

Energy is defined as the ability or capacity to work. The formula for calculating the energy stored in a battery is expressed as;

Energy stored=Power×Time

Energy stored = ΔV  * t  

where

ΔV is the change in velocity

t is the time

Substitute

Energy stored = 12.0 * 90.0

Energy stored = 1080 W.h

Total power consumed by the headlight = 2 * 36

Total power consumed by the headlight = 72Watts

Determine the time it takes to dischage

Time = Energy Stored/Power

Time = 1080/72

Time = 15hrs

Hence it will take the battery 15 hours to discharge completely.

The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is __________ the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Sun.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

same as

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law, the force that the Earth exert on the Sun would be equal (and in opposite direction) with the force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

Also Newton's gravitational law states the formula for the attraction between objects with mass, is the same for both objects

Define the term energy density of a body under strain​
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Please mark as Brainliest!!

Explanation:

Strain energy is defined as the energy stored in a body due to deformation. The strain energy per unit volume is known as strain energy density and the area under the stress-strain curve towards the point of deformation. When the applied force is released, the whole system returns to its original shape.
