4 0

Explanation:

In general, hot wet climates accelerate chemical weathering while cold dry climates accelerate physical weathering. Although the rate of weathering depends on the type of rock, rocks in tropical climates experience the highest rates of weathering because of the combination of high heat and heavy rainfall.

Riders on a ferris wheel move in a circle with a speed of 4.0 m/s. As they go around, they

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: D = 16m

Explanation: given values: a = 2 m/s2, v = 4 m/s
In this case we have to determine the diameter of the Ferris wheel.
Diameter of circle is given as: D = 2.r.
First we have to find radius of wheel. The best way to find that is using the centripetal acceleration equation: a = v2/r
Plug in values in above equation to find radius: 2 m/s2 = (4 m/s)2/r 2 m/s2 = (16 m2/s2)/r r = (16 m2/s2)/2 m/s2
r = 8.0m
Diameter of Ferris wheel is:
D = 2.r.
D = 2.8m
D = 16m

Your neighbor Paul has rented a truck with a loading ramp. The ramp is tilted upward at 25°, and Paul is pulling a large crate u

Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The ramp is tilted upwards at 25 degrees and Paul is pulling a large crate up the ramp with a rope that angles 10° above the ramp.

Total angle with respect to ramp is 35 degrees.

If Paul pulls with a force of 550 N.

The horizontal component of the force is given by :

$F_x=F\ cos\theta$
