How is a mesa formed

Physics
2 answers:
mina [271]3 years ago
4 0

Mesas form by weathering and erosion of horizontally layered rocks that have been uplifted by tectonic activity. Variations in the ability of different types of rock to resist weathering and erosion cause the weaker types of rocks to be eroded away, leaving the more resistant types of rocks topographically higher than their surroundings. This process is called differential erosion. 

Hope it helps!

Mesas are formed by erosion, when water washes smaller and softer types of rocks away from the top of a hill. The strong, durable rock that remains on top of a mesa is called caprock. A mesa is usually wider than it is tall.

I takes you 42 minutes to travel 32 miles to Ann Arbor. What was your<br> speed getting there?
frez [133]

Answer: 45.71 mi/h

Explanation:

Speed S is defined a:

S=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=32 miles is the traveled distance

t=42 min \frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.7 h is the time

Solving:

S=\frac{32 miles}{0.7 h}

S=45.71 mi/h This is the speed

The value of the normal force exerted on a 2,000 gram block on a table
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

N = 19.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a block, m = 2000 g

1 kg = 1000 g

It means, 2000 g = 2kg

We need to find the value of normal force on the block on a table. Normal force is balanced by the weight of the block as follows :

N = mg, g is acceleration due to gravity

N = 2 kg × 9.8 m/s²

N = 19.6 N

So, the normal force acting on the block is 19.6 N.

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
