We often see cracks on rocks and stones why

Physics
1 answer:
Paul [167]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Due to the process of weathering and erosion.

Explanation:

  • As the rocks are made of different forms of minerals they may have an igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary origin. Hence the natural stone surfaces can be made of granite, lime, or even shale.  
  • The process of physical weathering that is called as mechanical weathering of rocks tends to break them apart and leads to the development of crack and small openings.
  • The diurnal exposure of bare rocks to extreme temperatures of day and night leads to onion peeling and slowly with water as an agent of erosion lead to cracks in joints of rocks.

How far apart must two protons be if the electrical force acting on either one is equal to its weight on the earth's surface whe
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

G M m / R^2 = F   force of attraction for proton

K e^2 / r^2 = F     force of attraction between 2 protons

G M m / R^2 = K e^2 / r^2

r^2 = K e^2 R^2 / (G M m)

r^2 = 9E9 * (1.6E-19)^2 * (6.37E6)^2 / (6.67E-11 * 5.98E24 * 1.7E-27)

r^2 = 9 * 2.56 * 40.6 / (6.67 * 5.98 * 1.7) * 10^-19

r^2 = 1.38 * 10^-30

r = 1.17E-15 m

Hello. I am confused on how to find this answer. I know it isn’t negative
sweet [91]

Answer: Positive

Explanation:

Are you familiar with differential calculus? In a plot of position vs. time, the velocity at any given moment is the derivative at that point. A derivative is just the slope. For this plot, the slope is x/t.

Looking at t = 1s, the slope is 1/1. This means the velocity is a positive 1m/s at time equal to 1 second

Why is it when a ballerina stands on her toes she exerts more pressure than an elephant on all fours
Murrr4er [49]

I'm not sure that's true ... we'd need to see some numbers.
But if it is true, it's the same reason why some places don't
want ladies to walk on their floors with high heels.

Pressure is        (weight) divided by (area).

Pressure exerted
by a ballerina      =    (ballerina's weight)/(area of her toe on the floor)

Pressure exerted
by an elephant    =    (elephant's weight)/(area of 4 elephant feet)

Pressure exerted by
a lady in high heels  = (lady's weight) / (area of 1 or 2 heels)

You can see that the greatest weight might not exert the greatest
pressure, and the smallest weight might not exert the smallest
pressure.  The area is important, and it takes an awful lot of toes
or high heels to equal the area of one or more elephant's feet.
