Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
Weathering refers to the disintegration of rocks due to the different geological processes that are initiated by agents such as wind, water and ice.
In a region where the temperature is high, and there is sufficient amount of moisture content in the air, there occurs high rate of physical, chemical and biological type of weathering.
- Physical weathering processes such as freeze-thaw method and exfoliation method commonly occurs in this type of region.
- Chemical weathering processes such as hydrolysis, oxidation, as well as carbonation method occurs in the region of high temperature, moist climatic condition.
- Biological weathering also is possible up to some extent as the plants takes up water from the rainfall and also receive enough sunlight for its growth, as a result of which it leads to the breakdown of rocks.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
Answer:
Absolute zero is where the particles/molecules are not moving at all, meaning that there is no heat.
This means that the answer is:
1. All particles are moving and this movement allows us to measure the thermal energy of an object or substance. If the particles were able to completely stop moving this would be called reaching absolute zero.
Answer:
a) v₀ = 69.29 m / s
, b) t = 18.84 s
Explanation:
a) For this exercise we will use the projectile launch equations
x = v₀ₓ t
y = y₀ +
t - ½ g t²
Let's fix our reference system on the volcano, so the horizontal distance x = 1 km = 1000 m and the vertical distance y = -900 m, the initial height of the crater is I = 0 m. Let's replace to find the speeds
v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ
y = v₀ sin θ (x / v₀ cos θ) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos θ)2
y = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² sec² θ
½ g x² sec² θ / v₀² = x tan θ - y
v₀² = ½ g x² sec² θ / (x tan θ –y)
Let's calculate
v₀² = ½ 9.8 1000² sec² 40 / (1000 tan 40 - (-900))
v₀ = √ (8.35 10⁶ / 1,739 10³)
v₀ = 69.29 m / s
b) Flight time
x = v₀ₓ t
t = x / v₀ cos θ
t = 1000 / 69.29 cos 40
t = 18.84 s
Answer: Instantaneous speed is measured at each particular instant, and average speed is the sum of the instantaneous speeds.
