Which landscape will erode more quickly? Assume the same precipitation and average temperature in each landscape.

Physics

1 answer:

Artemon [7]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

B. Landscape B

Explanation:

Shale is fine sediment pressed together to form rock.

Sandstone is larger (sand-grain-sized) sediment cemented together to form rock.

Shale erodes faster, as evidenced by the second attachment. That attachment shows erosion of a rock face consisting of interbedded shale and sandstone. The shale has receded significantly, leaving the sandstone layers with space between them.

Because the elevator moves at a constant speed, it's in equilibrium and the net force acting on it is zero. Then the tension in the cable exactly equals the magnitude of the elevator's weight, which is

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

Explanation:

We are given with, the speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s. Its wavelength is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

The speed of a wave is given in terms of frequency and wavelength as :

$v=f\lambda$ ,

f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

Which figure represents the electric field lines of two positive point charges?

Naddik [55]

Electric field lines of positive charges are always radially outwards

So here all field lines must have tendency to move out radially as well as two field lines never intersects with each other

So here field lines also do not intersects with each other

So overall the figure C is perfectly representing the field lines of two positive charges as these lines are not intersecting and also originating from two positive charges.

So answer must be

You are trying to determine the specific gravity of a solid object that floats in water. If m is the mass of your object, mS is

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Specific Gravity = m/[m(s)-m(os)]

Explanation:

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance. By this definition we need to find out the ratio of density of the object of mass m to the density of the surrounding liquid.

m = mass of the object

Weight in air

W (air) = mg, where g is the gravitational acceleration

Weight with submerged with only one mass

m(s)g + Fb = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 1

where Fb is the buoyancy force

Weight with submerged with both masses

m(os)g + Fb’ = mg + m(b)g, consider this to be equation 2

equation 1 – equation 2 would give us

m(s)g – m(os)g = Fb’ – Fb

where Fb = D x V x g, where D is the density of the liquid the object is submerged in, g is the force of gravity and V is the submerged volume of the object

m(s)g – m(os)g = D(l) x V x g

m(s) – m(os) = D(l) x V

we know that Mass = Density x V, which in our case would be, D(b) x V, which also means

V = Mass/D(b), where D(b) is the density of the mass

Substituting V into the above equation we get

m(s) – m(os) = [D(l) x m)/ D(b)]

Rearranging to get the ratio of density of object to the density of liquid

D(b)/D(l) = m/[m(s)-m(os)], where D(b)/D(l) denotes the specific gravity
