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.

The lungs art part of The excretory system....
somatic nervous system is ..... autonomic nervous system....

The process in which organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment is called homeostasis. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments. Here are just three of the many ways that human organ systems help the body maintain homeostasis:
Respiratory system: A high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood triggers faster breathing. The lungs exhale more frequently, which removes carbon dioxide from the body more quickly.
Excretory system: A low level of water in the blood triggers retention of water by the kidneys. The kidneys produce more concentrated urine, so less water is lost from the body.
Endocrine system: A high concentration of sugar in the blood triggers secretion of insulin by an endocrine gland called the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb sugar from the blood.

Justify why sound waves need a medium to propagate with example??

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Sound needs a material medium for their propagation like solid, liquid or gas to travel because the molecules of solid, liquid and gases carry sound waves from one point to another. Sound cannot progress through the vacuum because the vacuum has no molecules which can vibrate and carry the sound waves.

On a journey of 600 km, a train was delayed 1 hour and 30 min after having covered 1 4 of the way. To arrive on time at the dest

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The train travelled 10hours.

Explanation:

Using speed= distance/time ...eq1

Let the time taken by train to cover the journey be t.

Let the speed of train be s

Time= distance/speed ...eq2

Time t =600/s ...eq3

The train is delayed for 1 1/2 hours=3/2 hours

Train increased by 15km/hr.

Train travelled 1/4 of 600k.= 150km.

Speed increased by s + 15 to cover the remaining 450km

t = 150/s + 400/(s + 15) + 3/2 ..eq4

Equating eq3 and 4

600/s= 150/s + 460/(s + 15) + 3/2

450/s = 3/2 + 450/(s + 15)

3s^2 + 45s -13500=0

Solving the quadratic equation

S= -45 +-sqrt(45^2-4(3×13500)/2×3

S= 60 , -75

Hence speed of train is 60km/hr

Using eq 2 distance/speed=time

600/60=10

t= 10hours
