Explanation:

The forces acting on the rock include Normal Force, Gravitational force & Friction force

It's possible for it to stay on the boulder because the normal force balances it's weight. also because static friction acts on the boulder up to it's limiting friction even if it were on an attempt to move as a result of air resistance. gravitational forces act upon it by mainly affecting it it's weight. as altitude increases, it's weight decreases since gravity varies from a height to another.

Answer:

For the First answer I cant answer it But I can help you :  

The solid has constituent particles tightly packed and the lattice vibrations are carried out by them in their fixed position however oscillations take place about their mean position. These vibrations are increased as soon as there is increase in the temperature which eventually leads to the more chaotic motion of the constituents. At a fixed critical point of temperature, the bonds are broken and the constituent particles are spaced apart changing their phase into liquid. When more temperature is increased by gaining heat energy then the liquid changes into gas where the motion of constituent particles moving freely is dominant.

A 100 Newton force applied to a machine lifts a 400 N object. What is the actual mechanical advantage of
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

m = 4

Explanation:

It is given that,

A 100 Newton force applied to a machine lifts a 400 N object.  

We need to find the mechanical advantage of  this machine.

The mechanical advantage of a machine is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force is 400 N and input force is 100 N

So, mechanical advantage becomes :

m=\dfrac{400}{100}\\\\m=4

So, the mechanical advantage of this machine is 4.

14. Which type of heat transfer (caused by uneven heating) moves air and water around the earth and creates weather? Question 14
Katena32 [7]

Answer: convection

Explanation:

There are three ways in which the heat (thermal energy) transfer occurs:  

<u>1. By Conduction</u>, when the transmission is by the direct contact.  

<u>2. By Convection</u>, heat transfer in fluids (like water or the air, for example).  

<u>3. By Radiation</u>, by the electromagnetic waves (they can travel through any medium and in vacumm)

In this especific case, we will talk about convection, which occurs when the hottest parts of a fluid ascend to the coldest zones, generating a continuous circulation of the fluid (better known as convective current) transmitting heat to the cold zones by decreasing the density caused by the increase in temperature.

This is what happens in Earth, when the convective heat transfer occurs, through the movement of groups of molecules that make up the medium (water and air in this situation) changing with temperature and creating the weather .
