A huge, jagged rock sits atop a windy cliffside. Over a period of many years, how will the rock MOST LIKELY change?

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Wind erosion will take place extensively as the cliff-side is exposed on the outcrop. Due to the wind erosion, the large, jagged rock will undergo the process of weathering where the softer parts of the rock will be eroded much rapidly in comparison to the harder parts, as a result of which the overall size of the rock will decrease and the surface will be uneven and somewhat rough. This will take place over a due course of time. The main agent that is responsible for erosion is the wind.

Thus, the given rock will become smaller and less smooth after a definite period of time.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

It will become smaller and less smooth. Only because with the wind blowing sand or other other small items it will cause the rock to be pelted which will chip the surface, breaking and making the rock small and rougher

To lower the voltage from a "120 V" outlet, what is used (first, at least) in most situations
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

B. Transformer

Explanation:

A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.

If the current through a 20-ω resistor is 8.0 a , how much energy is dissipated by the resistor in 1.0 h ?
fiasKO [112]
1 hour = 3600 seconds.
Energy dissipated = I²Rt = 8²×20×3600 = 4608000 J

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.
