<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>

A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

A baseball player hits a homerun, and the ball lands in the left field seats, which is 103m away from the point at which the bal
Sati [7]

(a) The ball has a final velocity vector

\mathbf v_f=v_{x,f}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,f}\,\mathbf j

with horizontal and vertical components, respectively,

v_{x,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos(-38^\circ)\approx16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

v_{y,f}=\left(20.5\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin(-38^\circ)\approx-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is constant throughout its trajectory, so v_{x,i}=v_{x,f}, and the horizontal distance <em>x</em> that it covers after time <em>t</em> is

x=v_{x,i}t=v_{x,f}t

It lands 103 m away from where it's hit, so we can determine the time it it spends in the air:

103\,\mathrm m=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t\implies t\approx6.38\,\mathrm s

The vertical component of the ball's velocity at time <em>t</em> is

v_{y,f}=v_{y,i}-gt

where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Solve for the vertical component of the initial velocity:

-12.6\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=v_{y,i}-\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)\implies v_{y,i}\approx49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

So, the initial velocity vector is

\mathbf v_i=v_{x,i}\,\mathbf i+v_{y,i}\,\mathbf j=\left(16.2\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf i+\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathbf j

which carries an initial speed of

\|\mathbf v_i\|=\sqrt{{v_{x,i}}^2+{v_{y,i}}^2}\approx\boxed{52.4\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}}

and direction <em>θ</em> such that

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{y,i}}{v_{x,i}}\implies\theta\approx\boxed{72.0^\circ}

(b) I assume you're supposed to find the height of the ball when it lands in the seats. The ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> is

y=v_{y,i}t-\dfrac12gt^2

so that when it lands in the seats at <em>t</em> ≈ 6.38 s, it has a height of

y=\left(49.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6.38\,\mathrm s)^2\approx\boxed{119\,\mathrm m}

A cosmic ray (an electron or nucleus moving ar speeds close to the speed of light) travels across the Milky Way at a speed of 0.
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Cosmic ray's frame of reference: 99,875 years

Stationary frame of reference: 501,891 years

Explanation:

First of all, we convert the distance from parsec into metres:

d=30,000 pc =9.26\cdot 10^{20} m

The speed of the cosmic ray is

v=0.98 c

where

c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light. Substituting,

v=(0.98)(3.0\cdot 10^8)=2.94\cdot 10^8 m/s

And so, the time taken to complete the journey in the cosmic's ray frame of reference (called proper time) is:

T_0 = \frac{d}{v}=\frac{9.26\cdot 10^{20}}{2.94\cdot 10^8}=3.15\cdot 10^{12} s

Converting into years,

T_0 = \frac{3.15\cdot 10^{12}}{(365\cdot 24\cdot 60 \cdot 60}=99,875 years

Instead, the time elapsed in the stationary frame of reference is given by Lorentz transformation:

T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c^2})^2}}

And substituting v = 0.98c, we find:

T=\frac{99,875}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.98c}{c})^2}}=501,891 years
