At its deepest, Happy Valley is close to 330 m (a bit over 1000 feet) deep, and it once was at least as high as the mountains ar

ound the valley. Let us call the thickness of rock removed from the valley each year, your answer in the previous blank, 0.000033 m. Then the depth of the valley, 330 m, divided by the erosion rate, 0.000033 m/yr, yields the number of years it took to hollow out Happy Valley, __________yr. This should be a large number.

Answer: 10,000,000 years

Explanation:

Erosion of a land-form is a very slow process, it takes several years to convert a hill into valley by the soil erosion.

Various factors of soil erosion are:

  • Loss of vegetation is the primary condition for soil erosion because the roots of the plants bind the soil and prevent the losing of soil by the effect of wind and flowing water.
  • Rain water.
  • Blowing winds.
  • Ice of the glaciers.
  • Agricultural practices also make the soil exposed to the above mentioned factors.
  • Over grazing by animals.
  • Mining activities.

Time for erosion= \frac{Depth of Erosion}{ersion Rate}\\\\

Time for erosion=\frac{330}{3.3\times 10^{-5}}

Time for erosion=10^{7} years

The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright star
Oxana [17]

Answer:

T=183.21K

Explanation:

We have to take into account that the system is a ideal gas. Hence, we have the expression

PV=nRT

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the ideal gas constant.

Thus, it is necessary to calculate n and V

V is the volume of a sphere

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5.9*10^{15}m)^3=8.602*10^{47}m^3

V=8.86*10^{50}L

and for n

n=\frac{(4000M_s)/(2*mH)}{6.022*10^{23}mol^{-1}}=3.95*10^{36}mol

Hence, we have (1 Pa = 9.85*10^{-9}atm)

T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{(6.8*10^{-9}*9.85*10^{-6}atm)(8.86*10^{50}L)}{(0.0820\frac{atm*L}{mol*K})(3.95*10^{36}mol)}\\\\T=183.21K

hope this helps!!

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon
Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}

force of gravity = - mg

F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}

                        = \dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg

                        = m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)

                        =9 x 29.067

                        = 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Two objects, each of weight W, hang vertically by spring scales as shown in the figure. The pulleys and the strings attached to
valentinak56 [21]

The reading on the scale is the tension on the string that connects the two objecst. In order to support the blocks it must pull the weights by a force magnitude of W. So, the tension of the rope is W. Therefore, the reading on the scale is W, D.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Devonte pushes a wheelbarrow with 830 W of power. How much work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard in 11 s? Roun
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 9130 joules

Explanation:

Workdone by wheelbarrow = ?

Time = 11 seconds

Power = 830 watts

Recall that power is the rate of doing work. Thus, power is workdone divided by time taken.

i.e Power = (workdone/time)

830 watts = Workdone / 11 seconds

Workdone = 830 watts x 11 seconds

Workdone = 9130 joules

Thus, 9130 joules of work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard.
