Explain how surface and subsurface events are integral parts of the rock cycle.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the

BartSMP [9]

In the experiment of free fall bob released a bag of mass 1 lb

so here we can say that initial speed of the bag is Zero

time taken by the bag to free fall is given as

t = 1.5 s

also the acceleration of free fall is given as

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we will use kinematics equation here for finding the distance of free fall

$d = v_i * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8* 1.5^2$

$d = 4.9 * 2.25$

$d = 11.025 m$

so the bag will fall down by total distance of 11.025 m from its initial released position.

A typical student listening attentively to a physics lecture has a heat output of 100 w . how much heat energy does a class of 1

nexus9112 [7]

Since each student emits 100 W, so 170 students will emit:

total heat = 100 W * 170 = 17,000 W

Convert minutes to seconds:

time = 50 min * (60 s / min) = 3000 s

The energy is therefore:

E = 17,000 W * 3000 s

In creating his definition of horsepower, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, calculated the power output of a horse o

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

$P = 0.55 HP$

Explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 24 ft

Diameter = 731.52 cm = 7.3152 m

now the horse complete 144 trips in one hour

so time to complete one trip is given as

$t = \frac{3600}{144} s$

$t = 25 s$

now the speed of the horse is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

$v = \frac{\pi(7.3152)}{25}$

$v = 0.92 m/s$

Part a)

Now we know that the power is defined as rate of work done

it is given as

$P = F v$

$746 = F(0.92)$

$F = 810.9 N$

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

Work done to climb up to 3 m height is given by

$W = mgh$

now we have

$Power = \frac{Work}{time}$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

$P = \frac{(70kg)(9.81)(3)}{5.0s}$

$P = 412.02 Watt$

now we know that 1 HP = 746 Watt

so we have

$P = \frac{412}{746} = 0.55 HP$

During a baseball game, a batter hits a high .

Harman [31]

Answer: Due that we don't know the initial speed after hitting the ball, we are going to accept that the ball goes up for half of the time and then falls during other half part, that is 3.0 seconds each. Then we know that ball's movement is ruled by the acceleration of gravity formula, as follows: H = Vi * T + 1/2 * g * T^2 V = Vi + g * T where: H is height, Vi initial speed, g gravity acceleration and T time When we only consider the second half of the trajectory, we have that initial speed at the top of that movement is zero, because ball goes up till top, where stops and starts to go down, so : H = 0 * 3 + 1/2 * 32 * 3^2 = 144 ft. So the height of the pop-up is 144 feet.
