<span>Mechanical Weathering</span>
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

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.

How long does it take for a train to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 40m/s if it accelerates at 3 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t              Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t          Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t        Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30                     Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the  the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when  he dives into the water body, As he ascends  out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following  Boyle's Law.  Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly  to the surface or else the  expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually  cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.
