Describe the difference between a soil horizon and a soil profile

Physics
2 answers:
horsena [70]3 years ago

Answer:

The particles that accumulate on the rocks as time passes transform into the so-called integral soil profile. This profile is characterized by having different soil horizons, which are the different processes of soil formation, for example:

-the upper horizon is an area where organic matter accumulates, which provides enough carbon dioxide and some organic compounds.

-the next horizon is what is known as the leaching zone, where the different mineral materials dissolve due to the water that seeps into the soil.

-the next horizon is the so-called accumulation zone, where the chemicals that are dissolved in the filtered water are deposited and transformed into minerals

-the last horizon is the so-called transition zone, where the new material originates.

Soil profile includes all the sections/ horizons of the vertical soil depth from top to bottom including the transitions from one horizon to another. A soil horizon is a distinct layer/section of soil with more or less the same texture. Therefore, a soil profile is made of soil horizons.

Two particles, each of charge Q, are fixed at opposite corners of a square that lies in the plane of the page. A positive test c
amid [387]

Answer:

The magnitude of the net force is √2F.

Explanation:

Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:

F_N=\sqrt{F^{2}+F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2F^{2}}\\\\F_N=\sqrt{2}F

Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

An automobile with an initial speed of 4.92 m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 3.2 m/s2 . Find the final speed of the car
Rudik [331]

Answer:19.32 m/s

Explanation:

Given

initial speed of car(u)=4.92 m/s

acceleration(a)=3.2 m/s^2

Speed of car after 4.5 s

using equation of motion

v=u+at

v=4.92+3.2\times 4.5=4.92+14.4

v=19.32 m/s

Displacement of the car after 4.5 s

v^2-u^2=2as

19.32^2-4.92^2=2\times 3.2\times s

349.05=2\times 3.2\times s

s=54.54 m

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.
