What are some characteristics of soil? ​

Physics

Anarel [89]3 years ago

Soils are composed of organic matter (stuff that used to be alive, like plants and animals) and small inorganic matter. There are three basic soil types: sand, silt, and clay. Sand is comprised of tiny rock fragments and is the roughest in texture. Clay becomes sticky or greasy when wet, and very hard when dry.

Which of the follow are examples of an object accelerating? (choose 4) A car turning a corner A ball rolling on the ground and s
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Cart spinning, ball rolling, ball falling, ball going up

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is a vector magnitude, this means that it also has a module, direction, therefore, any of the two things that change, the acceleration changes. Let's examine the examples:

- Car turning a corner. In this case the speed direction is changing, which is reflected in an acceleration of the system

- A ball rolling on the ground. As the speed is decreasing the acceleration module is changing

- Ball falling in this case the speed increases, so there is an acceleration

- Constant speed box. Here with the constant speed in module and direction There is no acceleration

- Paper falling with constant speed. As the speed is constant There is no acceleration

- Ball moving up. In this case the module gives the speed is decreasing, There is an acceleration

- Chair on the floor zero speed and does not change, therefore there is no acceleration

Consider the relationship of the variables in Newton’s second law. In a drag car race, the force applied to the car is doubled b
daser333 [38]

Recall that the force on an object is related to the mass and acceleration of that object by the formula F = ma, where m is the mass of the object and a is its acceleration. What happens when we double F? Well, you might remember from algebra that, in order to keep our equality true, if we double one side, we must also double the other, so our equation becomes 2F = 2ma. Now, this means one of two things: either the mass has doubled, or the acceleration has doubled.

We can tell right away that it'd be absurd if a race car doubled in mass every time it hit the gas, so the quantity doubling must be the <em>acceleration. </em>If we call the car's current velocity v1, we'll be adding the doubled acceleration to get its new velocity. Mathematically, v = v1 + 2a.

We can now conclude that, by doubling the force:

  • The acceleration of the car will double,
  • The mass of the car will stay the same, and
  • The velocity of the car will increase by double the original acceleration

A 100-g block slides back and forth on a frictionless surface between two springs, as shown in Fig. 7.18. The left-hand spring h
Andreyy89

(a) Energy is conserved at every point in the block's motion, so the potential energy P stored in the first spring at its maximum compression is the same as is stored in the second spring.

The total work performed on the block by the first spring is

W = -1/2 (110 N/m) (0.21 m²) = -2.4255 J

The work performed by the second spring is the same, so

W = -1/2 (240 N/m) x²

Solve for x :

x² = -2W/(240 N/m) = 0.0202125 m²

x ≈ 0.14 m = 14 cm

(b) By the work-energy theorem, the total work performed by either spring on the block as the spring is compressed is equal to the change in the block's kinetic energy. The restoring force of the spring is the only force involved. At maximum compression, the block has zero velocity, while its kinetic energy and hence speed is maximum just as it comes into contact with either spring.

W = 0 - K

W = -1/2 (0.10 kg) v²

v² = -2W/(0.10 kg) = 48.51 m²/s²

v ≈ 7.0 m/s
