<span>Mechanical Weathering</span>
BartSMP [9]4 years ago
4 0
The correct answer is physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering. An example of this would be when water falls into the cracks of a rock. It freezes during cold times and expands in size, which causes the rock to crack even more. When it melts, the crack is bigger and new water goes inside and cracks it even more, and so on and so forth.

When the number of turns in a solenoid and its length are both doubled, the ratio of the magnitude of the new magnetic field ins
Georgia [21]

If you double the number of turns and double the length, the value N/L remains the same and hence the magnitude of the magnetic field stays the same.

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in.

The magnitude of the magnetic field in an infinite (L>>R) solenoid, is proportional to:

I*N/L

Where

I = current

N = number of turns

L = length of wire

So, if you double the number of turns and double the length, the value N/L remains the same and hence the magnitude of the magnetic field stays the same.

A cannon shoots a ball at an angle θ above the horizontal ground. (a) Neglecting air resistance, use Newton's second law to find
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

a)  x = v₀ₓ t ,  y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

Explanation:

This is a projectile launch problem, let's use Newton's second law on each axis

X axis

       F = m a

Since there is no acceleration on the x axis, the force on this axis is zero

Y Axis  

       -W = m a_{y}

       -m g = m a_{y}  

       a_{y}  = -g

In this axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

Now we can use science to find the position of the body on each axis

X axis

       x = v₀ₓ t + ½ a  t²

As the acceleration on this axis is zero

      x = v₀ₓ t

Y Axis

       y = v_{oy} t + ½ a_{y}  t²

The acceleration on this axis is –g

        y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

B) to find the maximum value of distance r

        r =√ x² + y²

        r = √( v₀ₓ² t² + (v_{oy} t + ½ g t²)²

We can find the maximum value of r using time respect derivatives

      dr / dt = 0

      0 = ½ 1/√( v₀ₓ² t² + (v_{oy} t + ½ g t²)²    (v₀ₓ² 2t + 2 (v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)(v_{oy} - ½ g2t)

We simplify this expression

         0 = v₀ₓ² 2t + 2 (v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)  (v_{oy} - ½ g2t)

       -v₀ₓ² t =( v_{oy} t - ½ g t²)  (v_{oy} - ½ g2t)  

      -v₀ₓ² t = v_{oy}² t -3/2 gt² v_{oy} + 1/2 g² t³  

       ½ g² t²- 3/2 g v_{oy} t  = v_{oy}² + v₀ₓ²

Let's use trigonometry to find go and vox

         sin θ = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos θ = vox / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

        v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

We replace

         ½ g² t² -3/2 g v_{oy} t = v₀ (sin² θ +  cos² θ)

          g t² - 3v₀ sin θ t = 2 v₀/g

 

The time is maximum for the angle is zero

When talking about Acceleration ,what is significant about the about the sign(+ or -)?​
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Acceleration at its most basic is the act of increasing your running speed. From a standing start (or blocks), you explode into action. If you’re already running, you pick up the pace. Acceleration continues until you can no longer increase your speed, at which point you achieve maximum velocity (top-end speed). Acceleration seems simple enough. The plus means your increasing speed, the k=minus means your decreasing in speed.
