<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Deflation

<u>Deflation</u> is the process by which wind removes surface materials.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Erosion refers to a process in which soil, rock, and other surface material are removed from their location and transported to another by natural agents such as water and wind.
<em><u>The main mechanism of wind erosion is deflation. Deflation involves erosion by wind of loose material from flat areas of dry uncemented sediments such as those in deserts, dry lake beds, flood plains etc. The removed particles are then transported to another region where they may form sand dunes on a beach or in a desert.</u></em>

What is 1/12+7/9 hj

Umnica [9.8K]

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} \\ \\ = \frac{1 \times 3}{12 \times 3} + \frac{7 \times 4}{9 \times 4} \\ \\ = \frac{3}{36} + \frac{28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{3 + 28}{36} \\ \\ = \frac{31}{36} \\ \\ \huge \purple{ \boxed{\therefore \: \frac{1}{12} + \frac{7}{9} = \frac{31}{36} }} \\$

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor is 121 nano-Coulomb, how many excess electrons are on that plate? Write you

Julli [10]

Answer:

n = 756.25 giga electrons

Explanation:

It is given that,

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor, $Q=121\ nC=121\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Let n is the number of excess electrons are on that plate. Using the quantization of charges, the total charge on the negative plate is given by :

$Q=ne$

e is the charge on electron

$n=\dfrac{Q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{121\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

$n=7.5625\times 10^{11}$

n = 756.25 giga electrons

So, there are 756.25 giga electrons are on the plate. Hence, this is the required solution.

Planet 1 orbits Star 1 and Planet 2 orbits Star 2 in circular orbits of the same radius. However, the orbital period of Planet 1

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The mass of Star 2 is Greater than the mass of Start 1. (This, if we suppose the masses of the planets are much smaller than the masses of the stars)

Explanation:

First of all, let's draw a free body diagram of a planet orbiting a star. (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can build an equation with the sum of forces between the start and the planet.

$\sum F=ma$

We know that the force between two bodies due to gravity is given by the following equation:

$F_{g} = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

in this case we will call:

M= mass of the star

m= mass of the planet

r = distance between the star and the planet

G= constant of gravitation.

so:

$F_{g} =G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$

Also, if the planet describes a circular orbit, the centripetal force is given by the following equation:

$F_{c}=ma_{c}$

where the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_{c}=\omega ^{2}r$

where

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

Where T is the period, and $\omega$ is the angular speed of the planet, so:

$a_{c} = ( \frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}r$

or:

$a_{c}=\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}}$

so:

$F_{c}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

so now we can do the sum of forces:

$\sum F=ma$

$F_{g}=ma_{c}$

$G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

in this case we can get rid of the mass of the planet, so we get:

$G\frac{M}{r^{2}}=(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

we can now solve this for $T^{2}$ so we get:

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GM}$

We could take the square root to both sides of the equation but that would not be necessary. Now, the problem tells us that the period of planet 1 is longer than the period of planet 2, so we can build the following inequality:

$T_{1}^{2}>T_{2}^{2}$

So let's see what's going on there, we'll call:

$M_{1}$ = mass of Star 1

$M_{2}$ = mass of Star 2

So:

$\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{1}}>\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{2}}$

we can get rid of all the constants so we end up with:

$\frac{1}{M_{1}}>\frac{1}{M_{2}}$

and let's flip the inequality, so we get:

$M_{2}>M_{1}$

This means that for the period of planet 1 to be longer than the period of planet 2, we need the mass of star 2 to be greater than the mass of star 1. This makes sense because the greater the mass of the star is, the greater the force it applies on the planet is. The greater the force, the faster the planet should go so it stays in orbit. The faster the planet moves, the smaller the period is. In this case, planet 2 is moving faster, therefore it's period is shorter.
