What type of energy is involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>First question: The type of energy involved when a river moves sediment and erodes its banks is: option d. Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. A body (in this case the water) that moves has an energy associated with its motion that is proportional to the speed (exactly to the square of the speed). When the water collides with the banks it is the kinetic energy of the river that erodes it Second question: the answer is the option d. As gravity pulls water down a slope potential energy changes to knietic energy. This is the, water loses altitude and gains velocity. The potential energy. which is proportional to the height, decreases and the kinetic energy, which is proportional to the square of the speed, increases.</span>

Two horizontal forces, 230 N and 120 N, are exerted in opposite direction on a crate. What is the horizontal acceleration of the

nignag [31]

Answer:

a = 5.5 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF =m*a

where:

F = Force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 20 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the force of 230 [N] as positive, in this way the other force will be negative, by pointing in the opposite direction.

$230 - 120 = 20*a\\110 = 20*a\\a=5.5 [m/s^{2} ]$

In the one pulley system when you move the Mass from The 20-centimeter Mark to the 15 centimeter mark it moves to my 5cm how far

hoa [83]

Answer:

5 cm

Explanation:

Remember that in the pulley system the rope moves the same distance in both ends of the pulley, what the pulley system does is creating a mechanical advantage which basically means that it takes less effort to pull than the actual effort it would take, so for example if you have to lift a box that is 800 N, with a pulley system and the mechanical advantage you'd have to pull with less force.

Oduvanchick [21]

Lead-207 can change into Lead-208.

When Lead-207 is bombarded with neutrons, the atom acquires the neutron. Adding a neutron only changes the mass number of the atom. This does not involve change in the identity of the atom. So, Lead-207 can change into Lead-208 without change in its chemical properties.
