Which term best describes those processes that move weathered rock materials and soils downslope?

A small sphere is hung by a string from the ceiling of a van. When the van is stationary, the sphere hangs vertically. However,

Paraphin [41]

Answer: 42.49 $m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to keep in mind the following:

While the sphere hangs it is under the effect of gravity. It is creating a Angle of 90° taking the roof as a reference.

Gravity can be noted as a Acceleration Vector. The magnitud for Earth's Gravity is a constant: 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

The acceleration of the Van will affect the sphere also, but this accelaration will be on the X-axis and perpendicular to the gravity. Because this two vectors are taking action under the sphere they will create a angle. This angle can be measured as a relation of the two magnitudes.

Tangent (∅) = Opossite Side / Adyacent Side

By trigonometry, we know the previous formula. This formula allows us to find the Tangent of a angle as a relation between the two perpendiculars magnitudes. In this case the Opossite Side will be the Gravity Accelaration, while the Adyancent Side is the Van's Acceleration.

(1) Tangent (∅) = Gravity's Acceleration (G) / Van's Acceleration (Va)

Searching for the Va in (1)

Va = G/Tan(∅)

Where ∅ in this case is equal to 13.0°

Va = 9.81 $m/s^{2}$ / Tan(13.0°)

Va = 42.49 $m/s^{2}$

The vans acceleration need to be 42.49 $m/s^{2}$ to create an angle of 13° with the Van's Roof

Gauss’ law: a. Relates the surface charge density to the electric field.b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surf

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the flux of certain fields through a closed surface is proportional to the magnitude of the sources of that field within the same surface. The electric flux expresses the measure of the electric field that crosses a certain surface. Therefore, the electric field on a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a

Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f$
