Ice wedging is brought about by ____.

Physics
1 answer:
grigory [225]3 years ago
7 0
<span>Ice wedging is caused by water freezing and thawing. During this process of conversion of the water into ice the water is expanded and crack in the ground is formed. These cracks are formed duing the winter, when the water freezes, expands and the enlarges the cracks. In summer, when the ice melts more water is accumulated in the cracks and the process repeats.</span>

What will happen to the 0.1 N force if one charges is increased by a factor of 3?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges is given by the following expression

F = \frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}  Q₁ and Q₂ are two charges and d is distance between two.

.1 = \frac{KQ_1Q_2}{d^2}

If Q₁ becomes three times , force will become 3 times . Hence force becomes .3 N in the first case.

Force F = .3 N

If charge becomes one fourth , force also becomes one fourth .

F= \frac{.1}{4}

= .025 N.

A particular circular track on level ground has a circumference of 400 m. a walker, traveling counterclockwise and starting at t
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Average speed: 0.5 m/s. Average velocity: 0

Explanation:

Average speed is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the total distance covered (the length, of one lap of the track, so d = 400 m)

t is the time taken to cover that distance (so, t = 800 s)

Substituting,

v=\frac{400}{800}=0.5 m/s

Instead, average velocity is defined as

v=\frac{d}{t}

where this time,

d is the displacement, which is the vector connecting the starting point to the final point of the motion

t is still the time taken (800 s)

However, in this case the walker starts and finishes his trip at the same point: therefore, the displacement is zero (d=0), and this means that the average velocity is zero as well.

Una bola de 1 kg gira alrededor de un circulovrtical en el extremo de un cuerda. El otro extremo de la cuerda esta fijo en el ce
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

La diferencia entre las tensiones máxima y mínima es de 19.614 newtons.

Explanation:

Puesto que la bola gira en un círculo vertical, existe claramente una diferencia entre las tensiones debido a la influencia de la gravedad y la tensión que resulta de la aceleración centrípeta experimentada por la masa. La máxima tensión ocurre cuando la bola se encuentra en el nadir (o la sima) del trayecto circular, la cual se describe por la Segunda Ley de Newton:

T_{max} - m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{L}

En cambio, la mínima tensión aparece cuando la bola se encuentra en el cénit (o la cima) del trayecto circular, descrita por la misma ley de Newton:

T_{min} + m\cdot g = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{L}

Donde:

T_{min}, T_{max} - Tensiones mínima y máxima, medidas en newtons.

m - Masa de la bola, medida en kilogramos.

g - Constante gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

L - Distancia con respecto al eje de rotación, medida en metros.

v - Rapidez tangencial, medido en metros por segundo.

Se elimina la aceleración centrípeta de ambas expresiones por igualación:

T_{min} + m\cdot g = T_{max} - m\cdot g

Ahora, la diferencia entre las tensiones máxima y mínima es:

T_{max} - T_{min} = 2\cdot m \cdot g

Si m = 1\,kg y g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, entonces:

T_{max} - T_{min} = 2\cdot (1\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)

T_{max}-T_{min} = 19.614\,N

La diferencia entre las tensiones máxima y mínima es de 19.614 newtons.
