The Grand Canyon is more than 400 km long and in some places almost 2 km deep. Which model best represents the main process that

formed the Grand Canyon?
Physics
1 answer:
satela [25.4K]3 years ago

Answer: Diagram A

Explanation:

The Grand Canyon was created by the constant flow of the Colorado river which physically broke down the rock for billions of years. It then carried off the rock as it flowed and as it kept doing this, the canyon kept getting deeper and deeper.

This is what is described in the first diagram. The water from the faucet is carrying the soil along with it much like the Colorado did to the rocks of the Grand Canyon.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16amu, which means the <em>molar mass</em>, the mass of one mole of oxygen atoms (1 mole = 6.02x10²³), is 16g.

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

Therefore, this is the required solution.

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

Which statement describes the reason for the change in the velocity of waves as temperature decreases?
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

O The particles of the medium move more slowly and there are fewer chances to transfer energy.

Explanation:

Various media are made up of particles. These particles are in constant motion according to the kinetic theory of matter. Recall that temperature has been defined as the average kinetic energy of the particles in a medium. Hence, for any given medium, the velocity of particle motion increases or decreases linearly with temperature.

The speed of particles in any medium increases or decreases as the temperature of the medium increases or decreases as emphasised above. Hence, at low temperature, the velocity of waves set up by the motion of particles in a medium decreases and transfer the wave energy to neighbouring particles occurs more slowly than at high temperatures.

An object weighing 49 N is pushed across a floor by a force of 12 N. What is the acceleration of the object?
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of object  = 49N

Force applied = 12N

Unknown:

Acceleration of object  = ?

Solution:

The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;

 Acceleration  = \frac{12}{49}   = 0.25m/s²
