Why is diffraction used in soil profiles?

Physics
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago
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.

How is Aristotles model similar to Ptolemy’s model
Margarita [4]

I'm assuming you mean models of the solar system:

Both Aristotle and Ptolemy had the idea that the solar system was geocentric. This means that all objects in the solar system including the Sun revolve around the Earth.

<u>Answer</u>

5) b-c

6)    a-b and

       e-f

7) f-g

9) a-b = 0 m/s

    c-d = 0.6667 m/s

    e-f = 0 m/s

    f-g = -3 m/s

10) b-c ⇒ The cart is acceleration.

   e-f ⇒ The cart is moving backwards with a constant velocity.

<u>Explanation</u>

Answer

5) b-c

In the section b-c the cart is accelerating because the slope of the graph is changing. The gradient that represent velocity is increasing.

6) a-b and e-f

At this sections the distance is not changing at all. This can only mean that the cart is not moving. It is at rest.

7) f-g

At this section the slope is negative meaning the cart is moving back to where it came from.

9) a-b = 0 m/s

At a-b the cart is not moving. So the velocity is zero.

<u>     c-d = 0.66667 m/s</u>

Velocity = distance / time

               =(50-40)/(40-25)

                = 10/15

                 = 0.6667  m/s

   <u> e-f = 0 m/s</u>

At e-f the cart is not moving. So the velocity is zero.

 <u>   f-g = -3 m/s</u>

Velocity = distance / time

               = (60-30)/(65-75)

                = 30/-10

                = - 3 m/s

10) b-c ⇒ The cart is acceleration.

   e-f ⇒ The cart is moving backwards with a constant velocity.

Which quantity can be calculated using the equation E=mc2
EastWind [94]

Well, the equation describes the relationship among
three physical quantities ...

E . . . energy
m . . . mass
c . . . the speed of light.

Speaking strictly algebraically, if you know any two of them,
you can use the equation to calculate the third one.

A 0.537-kg basketball is dropped out of a window that is 5.88 m above the ground. The ball is caught by a person whose hands are
Monica [59]

Answer:

a) 20.54 J

b) 30.97 J

c) 10.43 J

d) -20.54 J

Explanation:

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88-1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times 3.9\\\Rightarrow W=20.54\ J

Work done by the ball's weight is 20.54 J

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (5.88)\\\Rightarrow W=30.97\ J

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 30.97 J

W=mgh\\\Rightarrow W=0.537\times 9.81\times (1.98)\\\Rightarrow W=10.43\ J

Gravitational potential energy of the basketball, relative to the ground, when it is released is 10.43 J

Change in gravitational potential energy

\Delta U=10.43-30.97=-20.54\ J

Change in gravitational potential energy is given by -20.54 J
