What types of changes occur during the erosion and deposition of sediments in a river?

Physics

Answer:

Slow-moving rivers generate extensive floodplains and meanders through erosion and deposition. Stream and river deposition can result in the formation of alluvial fans and deltas. Natural levees may be formed by floodwaters. Caves and sinkholes can arise as a result of groundwater erosion and deposition.

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water, but its index of refraction is 1.47, higher than that of water. When

kupik [55]

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given $n_{canola}= 1.47$

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water $n_{water}=1.33$

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

$sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}$

now putting values we get

$sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}$

c= $sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )$

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

A 900 kg car moves around a 500 m radius curve at 25.0 m/s. What is the centripetal force on

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

9375 N

Explanation:

From the question,

Centripetal force (F) = mv²/r.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the car, v = velocity of the car, r = radius of the curve.

Given: m = 900 kg, r = 600 m, v = 25 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (900×25²)/600

F = 9375 N.

Hence the centripetal force on the car is 9375 N

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g= $\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg$

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

$\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh$

Using g= $9.8m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086$

$V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}$

$V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}$

$V=1.3m/s$

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

$mv+Mv'=(m+M)V$

Using the formula

$0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)$

$0.015v=3.015(1.3)$

$v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3$

$v=261.3 m/s$

In which situation is maximum work considered to be done by a force?

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

A) When the angle between the Force (F) and Displacement (x) is 0°, because, Work done (W) is directly proportional to the Cosine of the Angle between the Force applied and the resultant displacement of the subject.

W = F•x cos ∅

If ∅ = 0°,

W = F•x ===> Maximum Work Done.

If ∅ = 45°,

W = F•x/√2

If ∅ = 90°,

W = 0

If ∅ = 180°,

W = –F•x ===> Minimum Work Done.

1. A 4-N force is used to move an object 2 m in 10 s. Which of the following is the power generated while moving the object?

guajiro [1.7K]

Power is the work done per unit time. Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} p=\frac{w}{t} \\ \text{where} \\ w=\text{work done} \\ t=\text{time} \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} \text{work done=fd} \\ f=force=4N \\ d=\text{displacement}=2m \\ t=2\sec s \\ p=\frac{fd}{t}=\frac{4\times2}{10}=\frac{8}{10}=0.8watts \end{gathered}$
