Why is diffraction used in soil profiles?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:X-ray diffraction (XRD) is the technique most heavily relied on in soil mineralogical analysis. X-ray diffraction is a technique that provides detailed information about the atomic structure of crystalline substances. It is a powerful tool in the identification of minerals in rocks and soils.

Explanation:

XRD is used to identify the minerals composing clay-rich, hydrothermally altered rocks that occur on several Cascade volcanoes. Such rocks are believed to play an important role in the generation of large landslides and mudflows. XRD is used to analyze saline minerals, including borates.

As shown in the diagram below, a rope attached to a 500.-kilogram crate is used to exert a force of 45 newtons at an angle of 65

kaheart [24]

Answer:

19.01 N

Explanation:

F = Force being applied to the crate = 45 N

$\theta$ = Angle at which the force is being applied = $65^{\circ}$

Horizontal component of force is given by

$F_x=F\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_x=45\times \cos65^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow F_x=19.01\ \text{N}$

The horizontal component of the force acting on the crate is 19.01 N.

Two people are talking at a distance of 3.0 m from where you are and you measure the sound intensity as 1.1 × 10-7 W/m2. Another

ioda

Answer:

$6.1875\times 10^{-8}$

Explanation:

Assuming uniform spread of sound with no significant reflections or absorption. We know that sound intensity varies $I=\frac {k}{r^{2}}$ where r is the distance

Since intensity is given then when at 3 m

$1.1\times 10^{-7}= \frac {k}{3^{2}}$

$k=3^{2}\times 1.1\times 10^{-7}= 9.9\times 10^{-7}$

Since we have the constant then at 4m

Intensity, $I= \frac {9.9\times 10^{-7}}{4^{2}}=6.1875\times 10^{-8}$
