What is measurement

Geological events are what causes numerous changes and phenomena on the Earth's surface. Examples of these events include cliff erosion, volcanic eruption, or sedimentation at a mouth of a river.

Geological processes are extremely slow. However, because of the immense lengths of time involved, huge physical changes do occur - mountains are created and destroyed, continents form, break up and move over the surface of the Earth, coastlines change and rivers and glaciers erode huge valleys.

Geological events are both classified as internal and external. This means that these events occur both in the Earth's surface and interior.

8. There are different characteristics for each of the states of matter. Which statement

Ahat [919]

Answer:

a. Temperatures increase can change a solid to a liquid, but cannot change a liquid to a solid

b. The particles in a solid are much closer together than the particles in a liquid.

Explanation:

Any material expands when heated and contracts when cooled. So, when a body is heated to a particular temperature, it starts melting and changes into a liquid.

As the material expands the distance between the atoms or molecules increases and it will become a liquid. So it can move around the material. It doesn't become solid on further heating. But water is an exception where it contracts when heated from 0° to 4° C.

In solids, these atoms or molecules are closely packed. It is rigidly fixed.

The solid, as well as the liquid, has a definite volume, but the liquid does not have a definite shape.

The angle θ is slowly increased. Write an expression for the angle at which the block begins to move in terms of μs.

Reika [66]

Answer:

$tan \theta = \mu_s$

Explanation:

An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s R =0$ (1)

where

$mg sin \theta$ is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity, $\theta$ the angle of the slope

$\mu_s R$ is the frictional force, with $\mu_s$ being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline

The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is

$R-mg cos \theta = 0$

where

R is the normal reaction

$mg cos \theta$ is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope

Solving for R,

$R=mg cos \theta$

And substituting into (1)

$mg sin \theta - \mu_s mg cos \theta = 0$

Re-arranging the equation,

$sin \theta = \mu_s cos \theta\\\rightarrow tan \theta = \mu_s$

This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of $\mu_s$ , the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.
