The difference is that physical weathering is a process that weathers rock without a chemical reaction or change. Chemical weathering changes the identity of rocks and it involves a chemical reaction or change.

How long will a plane have to fly continuously with 900 miles per hour in order to cover the same distance as that from Earth to
hammer [34]

I'm not sure about the distance to the nearest star, but it's probably about        4 light-years (L-y).

1 L-y = 1.86 * 10E5 mi/sec * 3600 sec/hr * 24 hr/day * 365 day/yr

1 L-y = 5.9 *10E12 mi   and 4 L-y = 2.3 *10E13 mi    distance to star

2.3 * 10E13 mi / 900 mi/hr = 2.6 * 10E10 hr       hours to star

2.6 * 10E10 hr / (24 hr/day) = 1.1 * 10E9 day     days to star

1.1 * 10E9 day / 365 day/yr = 3 * 10E6 yr = 3 million years to star

Sunlight appears white. However, rainbows, sunburn and the ability to see colors tell a different story.Explain what each of the
alexdok [17]
A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm  to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.

b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.

c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see  grass as green in color.

d) Light of wavelength below  400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.

</span><span>Connect the red (positive) cable from the car with the bad battery to the red (positive) on the good battery. </span>

<span>Then connect the black (negative) from the good battery to a grounding point on the other car which should be tightened and metal should be clean.
</span>
<span>Once the car with bad battery has started, the removal of the cable should be in the opposite order. The Red (positive) which was the the First Cable to go on should be the last cable to be taken off.</span>

A square plate of edge length 9.0 cm and negligible thickness has a total charge of 6.90 10-6 C. Estimate the magnitude E of the
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

E= 4.35*10^6 N/C

Explanation:

Let's find the area charge density of the plate

α= 6.9*10^-6/9*10^-2 = 7.7*10^-5C/m2

Now we can calculate the electric field just of the plate

E =α/2e =7.7*10^-5/2*8.85*10^-12 = 4.35*10^6 N/C
