How does vegetation in the soil affect the rate of erosion

Physics

Answer:

Plants slow down water as it flows over the land and this allows much of the rain to soak into the ground. Plant roots hold the soil in position and prevent it from being blown or washed away. Plants break the impact of a raindrop before it hits the soil, reducing the soil's ability to erode.

Which of the following is an example of heat convection?

lora16 [44]

I believe it’s a liquid inside a beaker on a hot Bunsen burner (c)

This is because : Everyday Examples of Convection
Boiling water - The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. Then, this hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion. Radiator - Puts warm air out at the top and draws in cooler air at the bottom.

Not sure if it’s right tho!

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener

maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules
__________________________________

Wait a minute ! Hold up ! Hee haw ! Whoa !
Excuse me. That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

A 2.45-kg frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 355 N/m. Initially the spring is neither stretch

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A. A = 0.913 m

B. amax = 132.24m/s^2

C. Fmax = 324.01N

Explanation:

When the block is moving at the equilibrium point , its velocity is maximum.

A. To find the amplitude of the motion you use the following formula for the maximum velocity:

$v_{max}=A\omega$ (1)

vmax = maximum velocity = 11.0 m/s

A: amplitude of the motion = ?

w: angular frequency = ?

Then, you have to calculate the angular frequency of the motion, by using the following formula:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (2)

k: spring constant = 355 N/m

m: mass of the object = 2.54 kg

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{355N/m}{2.45kg}}=12.03\frac{rad}{s}$

Next, you solve the equation (1) for A and replace the values of vmax and w:

$A=\frac{v}{\omega}=\frac{11.0m/s}{12.03rad/s}=0.913m$

The amplitude of the motion is 0.913m

B. The maximum acceleration of the block is given by:

$a_{max}=A\omega^2 = (0.913m)(12.03rad/s)^2=132.24\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 132.24 m/s^2

C. The maximum force is calculated by using the second Newton law and the maximum acceleration:

$F_{max}=ma_{max}=(2.45kg)(132.24m/s^2)=324.01N$

It is also possible to calculate the maximum force by using:

Fmax = k*A = (355N/m)(0.913m) = 324.01N

The maximum force exertedbu the spring on the object is 324.01 N

A negative charge is moving across a room from south to north. A magnetic field runs from east to west. In what direction is the

erica [24]

Here is your answer

C. towards the floor

REASON:

Using Fleming's Left hand rule we can determine the direction of force applied on a moving charged particle placed in a magnetic field.

The direction of current will be just opposite to the direction of electron(negative charge) because current moves from positive to negative terminal whereas electron moves from negative to positive terminal.

So, direction of current- North to South

Now applying Fleming's Left hand rule we get the direction of force in downward direction, i.e. towards the floor.
