Answer:
Explanation:
While each of these can cause erosion and weathering, lightning is probably the least important as it occurs less frequently and affects a much smaller surface area when it strikes.
Wind is not very effective by itself, but it can carry abrasives which work to degrade rock surfaces. It covers a very large area at once so the net effect can be moderate to large especially desert areas where plants are not readily available to disrupt the flow.
Rain covers huge areas and is quite common.
Freezing/Thawing cycles cover large areas and are quite common in the temperate and arctic latitudes and even in tropical altitudes.
Attached is a photo taken atop Half Dome in Yosemite National Park showing two of thousands of divots in the rock there caused by lightning strikes. The current in the lightning heats the stone causing water trapped in it to flash to steam. The increased pressure inside the stone can overwhelm the material strength and blow rock chunks over a fairly good sized area. This is a fairly rapid weathering and erosion when it occurs, but that is typically limited to a few dozen days per year and occurs mostly on high ground where lightning is more likely to strike earth.
Answer:
11.82 N upward and parallel to the incline.
Explanation:
Let g = 9.81 m/s2. Gravity that acts on the bin has a magnitude of
W = mg = 3*9.81 = 29.43 N
The gravity component that is parallel to the 40 degree incline is
If the bin is moving at constant speed, then the net force (parallel to the incline) is also 0. Gravity is balanced with the push force of 26 N and the friction force.
The magnitude of friction force is 26 - 18.9 = 7.08 N
The the bin is moving down the incline, then gravity is 18.9N , friction is 7.08 N, one must create an upward force of 18.9 - 7.08 = 11.82 N parallel with the incline to balance this.
60,000 is 100 times as much as 600
Answer:
C. Between North and West
Explanation:
Since all have equal masses and the red ball and green ball are moving in south and east direction, the blue ball would most likely be moving between the north and West direction.
Answer:
227 m/s
Explanation:
Kinetic energy formula:
- where m = mass of the object (kg)
- and v = speed of the object (m/s)
Let's find the kinetic energy of the 145-g baseball moving at 31.0 m/s.
First convert the mass to kilograms:
Plug known values into the KE formula.
Now we want to find how fast a 2.70-g ping pong ball must move in order to achieve a kinetic energy of 69.6725 J.
First convert the mass to kilograms:
Plug known values into the KE formula.
The ping-pong ball must move at a speed of 227 m/s to achieve the same kinetic energy as the baseball.
