Hello!
The removal of vegetation causes the desertification and erosion of soil. The roots of the plants that are inside the soil create a sort of net that prevents the material to be dragged by the water from the rain. They also absorb any excess water that can weaken the soil structure. If vegetation is removed from the soil, the nutrients can be dragged by water currents and slowly the desertification will occur.

Answer:
(i) The wavelength is 0.985 m
(ii) The frequency of the wave is 36.84 Hz
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the string, m = 0.0133 kg
tensional force on the string, T = 8.89 N
length of the string, L = 1.97 m
Velocity of the wave is:
(i) The wavelength:
Fourth harmonic of a string with two nodes, the wavelength is given as,
L = 2λ
λ = L/2
λ = 1.97 / 2
λ = 0.985 m
(ii) Frequency of the wave is:
v = fλ
f = v / λ
f = 36.29 / 0.985
f = 36.84 Hz
Answer:
a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?
Solution
a.
i = Q/t = ne/t
n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s
So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
= 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons
≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons
b
The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target
total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton
= 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton
= 30 × 10⁷ J
heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)
ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)
= 30 × 10⁷/14.62
= 2.05 × 10⁷ °C
Answer:
250N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Time = 4s
Momentum = 1000kgm/s
Unknown:
Force = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;
Ft = Momentum
F is the force
t is the time
So;
F x 4 = 1000kgm/s
F = 250N
