Weathering of rocks can occur in many ways. In the western United States, strong winds can erode huge rock formations by blowing

millions of tiny grains of sand at these rocks. Which term accurately describes this type of weathering?

Answer: physical or mechanical weathering

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering which is also referred to as the physical weathering occurs when a rock is broken down into smaller pieces. In this case, there will be a physical change of the rock but its composition will not change.

Some examples include ice freezing and expansion of the cracks in the rock, Smstrong winds that carrycpieces of sand which then sandblast surfaces, moving water which causes abrasion etc.

Which solid dissolves faster in water?<br><br> sugar cube<br> or<br> powdered sugar

Verdich [7]

Answer: <em>Powdered sugar</em>

Powdered sugar dissolves faster compare to the sugar cube. Because sugar cube has less surface area (the granules are tightly packed) compared to powdered sugar

If the magnet is now pushed into the coil and then held stationary inside the coil describe fully what would you observe on the

alexira [117]

Answer:

E = q V B describes the electric field induced

E Proportional to V B

while the magnet is pushed into the coil the induced field (B) will increase (consider 1 turn of the coil)

If V is constant the E-field will increase due to increasing B and the galvanometer will deflect accordingly

When V drops to zero the deflection must again be zero

So one would see a blip due to the deflection of the galvanometer

Note that as V increases the galvanometer will deflect one way and then as V drops to zero the deflection will be opposite (drop to zero when V is zero)

B always increases to a constant value because of the properties of the magnet.

Use the words claim, evidence, reasoning to answer the following question:

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Well first a person makes a claim that a certain idea might make a great show. They get a control group together to test this theory and gather evidence that shows that people are interested. then the claimer uses reasoning to persuade potential directors and producers.

hope this helps you out!!:)))

Define nortons theorem

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

<em><u>In direct-current circuit theory, Norton's theorem is a simplification that can be applied to networks made of linear time-invariant resistances, voltage sources, and current sources. At a pair of terminals of the network, it can be replaced by a current source and a single resistor in parallel.</u></em>

An electron with velocity v = 1.0 ´ 106 m/s is sent between the plates of a capacitor where the electric field is E = 500 V/m. I

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The deviation in path is $4.39 \times 10^{-3}$

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity $v = 1 \times 10^{6}$ $\frac{m}{s}$

Electric field $E = 500$ $\frac{V}{m}$

Distance $x = 1 \times 10^{-2}$ m

Mass of electron $m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31}$ kg

Charge of electron $q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ C

Time taken to travel distance,

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

$t = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2} }{1 \times 10^{6} }$

$t = 10^{-8}$ sec

Acceleration is given by,

$F = qE$

$ma = qE$

$a = \frac{qE}{m}$

$a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 500}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} }$

$a = 8.77 \times 10^{13}$ $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

For finding the distance, we use kinematics equations.

$y = vt + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Where $v = 0$ because here initial velocity zero

$y = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.77 \times 10^{13 } \times (10^{-2} )^{2}$

$y = 4.39 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Therefore, the deviation in path is $4.39 \times 10^{-3}$
