Mechanical weathering refers to the natural fragmentation of rocks into smaller fragments through physical processes. This type of weathering occurs without altering the chemical composition of the rocks. Examining the options: 1. Hydration involves a substance absorbing water. 2. Carbonation relates to the dissolving of carbon dioxide in liquid, predominantly water. 3. Oxidation is the interaction of oxygen with elements. 4. Exfoliation describes the process where rocks are worn away in layers rather than grain by grain. Clearly, the last option, Exfoliation, aligns with the definition of mechanical weathering, making it one of its forms.

serg [2593]

Answer:

The accurate statements are

2. The train is not an inertial frame of reference.

5. The train could be moving at a constant velocity in a circular path.

8. The train must be undergoing acceleration.

Explanation:

As we observe that the string forms an angle with the horizontal

we can formulate the force equation relevant to the given ball

F_x = Tcos\theta

ma = Tcos45

similarly in the Y direction

mg = Tsin45

Thus we conclude

\frac{ma}{mg} = cot 45

a = g cot45

This leads us to deduce that the train is accelerating with an acceleration identical to that of gravity

The correct statements will be

2. The train is not an inertial frame of reference.

5. The train could be moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

8. The train must be experiencing acceleration.

A proton (mass = 1.67 10–27 kg, charge = 1.60 10–19 C) moves from point A to point B under the influence of an electrostatic for
serg [2593]

Answer:

20.353125 V

Explanation:

m = Mass of proton = 1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

q = Charge of proton = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v_A = Velocity of proton at point A = 50 km/s

v_B = Velocity of proton at point B = 80 km/s

The relationship derived from energy conservation is as follows:

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_B^2-v_A^2)=q(V_B-V_A)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=\dfrac{1}{2q}m(v_B^2-v_A^2)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}(80000^2-50000^2)\\\Rightarrow V_B-V_A=20.353125\ V

The determined potential difference is 20.353125 V

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate
inna [2205]

Answer:

the time it takes after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

initially given information

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thickness = 0.1 mm = 1 ×10^{-4} m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 ×10^{-5} Ns/m²

temperature of air = 15°C

to determine

time needed for the puck to reduce its speed by 10%

solution

we note that velocity changes from 0 to v

assuming initial velocity = v

therefore final velocity = 0.9v

implying a change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

shear stress acting on the surface is expressed as

= µ \frac{du}{dy}

therefore

= µ \frac{v}{h}............1

substituting the values

= 1.75 ×10^{-5} × \frac{v}{10^{-4}}

= 0.175 v

the area between the air and puck is given by

Area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}

area = \frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}

area = 7.85 × \frac{v}{10^{-3}} m²

thus, the force on the puck can be represented as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × 10^{-3}

force = 1.374 × 10^{-3} v

now applying Newton's second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = mass \frac{dv}{dt}

- 1.374 × 10^{-3} v = 0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}

solving for t = \frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}

the time needed after impact for the puck is 2.18 seconds

What is the number N0 of 99mTc atoms that must be present to have an activity of 15mCi?
Keith_Richards [2256]
Based on my findings, within a period of 2 hours, there are certain atoms remaining. N = N0 * 2^(-t/6.020) = N = N0 * 2^-0.33223 = 0.7943 N0 Thus, the quantity of atoms that undergo disintegration is N0 - N = N0 * (1 - 0.79430) = 0.2057 N0 This must equate to 15 mCi = 15 * 3.7 * 10^7 = 5.55 * 10^8 atoms N0 = 5.55 * 10^8 / 0.2057 = 2.698 * 10^9 atoms Consequently, 2.698 * 10^9 atoms represents the value of N0.

9. A 2 liter bottle of Coke weighs about 2 kilograms. If that bottle were combined with an equal amount of anti-Coke, how many J
Maru [2355]

Answer:

The energy expected to be released is calculated to be 4182 Joules.

Explanation:

The total mass of coke is 2 kg, which is equivalent to 2000 g

1 calorie per gram corresponds to 4.184 Joules of energy

4.184 J/gC * 2000g results in 8368 J

1 food calorie approximates to 4186 J

By subtracting, we find 8368 - 4186

Hence, the total energy that will be released amounts to 4182 Joules.
