What causes coastal erosion

1 answer:

5 0

La erosión costera es la pérdida o desplazamiento de tierra, o la remoción a largo plazo de sedimentos y rocas a lo largo de la costa debido a la acción de olas, corrientes, mareas, agua impulsada por el viento, hielo transportado por el agua u otros impactos de marejadas ciclónicas.

To move a heavy object, like a refrigerator what could be used to help decrease the frictional force?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

A. Remove everything in the refrigerator to lighten the load.

B. Put a lubricant between the surface of the object and the floor

C. Use round objects, like pencils , to decrease the friction and push the refrigerator over the pencils more easily

Explanation:

Force of friction is a resistance force which acts between two surfaces which are in relative motion. Friction is both boon and bane. Due to friction, we are able to sit, walk etc but also, due to friction there is dissipation of energy. Friction can be reduced by applying lubricants, reducing contact area, reducing the load.

F = μN where N is the normal force which depends on the mass.

Thus, by reducing the load, force of friction can be reduced. Round objects like wheels can also be used. By this the contact area reduces.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 14,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

tatiyna

Sam and Sally are traveling aboard a spacecraft that approaches the asteroid Ceres within 14,000 kilometers. Sally will experience 1.989 × 10⁻¹¹ N of force.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Given data

Mass of asteroid ,m₁ = 8.7 1020 kg

Mass of sally,m₂ = 67 kg

Gravitational constant,G = 6.6 × 10⁻¹¹ kg⁻² m²

Distance of seperation,R = 14,000 km

$\rm F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{R^ 2} \\\\ F = 6.6 \times 10^{-11 }\times \frac{8.71020 \times 67 }{(14,000)^2} \\\\F = 1.989 \times 10^{-11 } \ N$
