Answer:

Soil erosion is a naturally occurring process that affects all landforms. In agriculture, soil erosion refers to the wearing away of a field's topsoil by the natural physical forces of water and wind or through forces associated with farming activities such as tillage.

Answer:

It is the breakdown of soil due to natural processes

Explanation:

Soil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Soil deterioration and low water quality due to erosion and surface runoff have become severe problems worldwide

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

Explanation:

When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .

A wire has a cross sectional area of 4.00 mm2 and is stretched by 0.100 mm by a certain force. How far will a wire of the same m

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $0.05\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

Cross-sectional area of wire $A_1=4\ mm^2$

Extension of wire $\delta l=0.1\ mm$

Extension in a wire is given by

$\Rightarrow \delta l=\dfrac{FL}{AE}$

where, $E=\text{Youngs modulus}$

$\Rightarrow \delta_1=\dfrac{FL}{A_1E}\quad \ldots(i)$

for same force, length and material

$\Rightarrow \delta_2=\dfrac{FL}{A_2E}\quad \ldots(ii)$

Divide (i) and (ii)

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{0.1}{\delta_2}=\dfrac{A_2}{A_1}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.1\times \dfrac{4}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \delta_2=0.05\ mm$

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

$r = \frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r
