Frost wedging is a type of physical weathering of rock.

Explanation:

Physical or mechanical weathering affects the rock structurally but does not change the chemical composition. Mechanical forces will rub, break or shatter the rock surfaces. Wedging, abrasion, exfoliation are different types of physical weathering.

Water is one of the main sources which alter the structure of the rocks physically.

Frost wedging occurring due to flow of freezing water over the rocks. This frozen water enters the rock through the cracks and crevices on the rock surface, and will expand inside and makes the rocks to crack further and breaks it apart.

Dona rolls a marble with a speed of 5.0/m/s across a level table that is 1.6m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the tab

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

2.9 m

Explanation:

First find the time it takes to reach the floor.

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

(0 m) = (1.6 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.571 s

Next, find the distance it travels in that time.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = (0 m) + (5.0 m/s) (0.571 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (0.571 s)²

x = 2.86 m

Rounded to two significant figures, the marble travels 2.9 meters in the x direction.

You throw a baseball directly upward at time ????=0 at an initial speed of 14.9 m/s. What is the maximum height the ball reaches

xeze [42]

Answer:

Maximum height, h = 11.32 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

The baseball is thrown directly upward at time, t = 0

Initial speed of the baseball, u = 14.9 m/s

Ignoring the resistance in this case and using a = g = 9.8 m/s²

We have to find the maximum height the ball reaches above where it leaves your hand. Let the maximum height is h. Using third equation of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2ah$

At maximum height, v = 0

and a = -g = -9.8 m/s²

$h=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$h=\dfrac{0-(14.9\ m/s)^2}{2\times -9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 11.32 meters

Hence, the maximum height of the baseball is 11.32 meters.

A 5.20 kg chunk of ice is sliding at 13.5 m/s on the floor of an ice-covered valley when it collides with and sticks to another

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The chunk went as high as

2.32m above the valley floor

Explanation:

This type of collision between both ice is an example of inelastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved after the ice stuck together.

Applying the principle of energy conservation for the two ice we have based on the scenery

Momentum before impact = momentum after impact

M1U1+M2U2=(M1+M2)V

Given data

Mass of ice 1 M1= 5.20kg

Mass of ice 2 M2= 5.20kg

velocity of ice 1 before impact U1= 13.5 m/s

velocity of ice 2 before impact U2= 0m/s

Velocity of both ice after impact V=?

Inputting our data into the energy conservation formula to solve for V

5.2*13.5+5.2*0=(10.4)V

70.2+0=10.4V

V=70.2/10.4

V=6.75m/s

Therefore the common velocity of both ice is 6.75m/s

Now after impact the chunk slide up a hill to solve for the height it climbs

Let us use the equation of motion

v²=u²-2gh

The negative sign indicates that the chunk moved against gravity

And assuming g=9.81m/s

Initial velocity of the chunk u=0m/s

Substituting we have

6.75²= 0²-2*9.81*h

45.56=19.62h

h=45.56/19.62

h=2.32m
