Why does the foundation of a very large building often go all the way down to the bedrock?
Because large buildings weigh a lot. Subsoil has varying degrees of 'bearing capacity' - the amount of weight it can carry. If you put a lot of weight on a subsoil of low bearing capacity it will compact, or be pushed aside. If the subsoil on the site of a large building has insufficient bearing capacity to carry the loads imposed on it by the building then the foundations would have to be taken to bedrock as this has 'unlimited' bearing capacity.
Where does green sand come from?
Olivine crystals are removed from the eroding land aside the water, by the movement of the sea. Eventually, supply will end, and the sand will look like any other sand. How long it takes for this natural occurrence to 'run out' is dependent upon the amount that is in the land from which it comes.
Making of ferric alum?
Ferric alum is made by dissolving bauxite in sulfuric acid to obtain aluminum sulfate. Ferric oxide is then added to this solution to form ferric alum. The solution is then set aside for the crystals of ferric alum to form through a process called crystallization.
Explain the difference between the volcanic activity that occurs at a hot spot and the volcanic activity that occurs at a subduction boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate?
the second one is a result of the oceanic plate being pushed into the magma while the ring of fire is like how those crusts are formed by the lava reaching the surface then creating a mountain like structure then another one is made and the first one is pushed aside and erodes. Hawaii an example of this
The gases in your atmosphere aside from oxygen and nitrogen make up what percentage of dry air?
Aside from Oxygen and Nitrogen, which make up roughly 99% of the Earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is comprised of approximately 0.93% argon, and 0.038% carbon dioxide. The remaining 0.032% is a mixture of other gasses in relatively minuscule amounts.
What is the volume of water pushed out of the way by object called?
The volume of water pushed out of the way by an object is called the displaced volume or the volume of water displaced. This is the volume of water that is moved aside when an object is immersed in a fluid.
Everything in or on water pushes some water aside even if just a little bit. This is called .?
This is called "displacement", as the weight of water that moves is equal to the weight of the object on the water. Heavier objects displace more water. If the total weight of the object is greater than the water displaced by its volume, it is denser than water, and sinks.
How much water is pushed aside when an object sinks?
When an object sinks in water, it displaces a volume of water equal to its own volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Air resistance as you move faster?
As an object moves faster through the air, there is an increase in air resistance acting against it. This is due to a greater amount of air molecules being disturbed and pushed aside, resulting in a higher force opposing the motion of the object. The increase in air resistance can lead to higher energy consumption and slower acceleration for the moving object.
How can you determine upthrust in water?
Upthrust, also known as buoyant force, can be determined by the weight of the water displaced by an object. The upthrust is equal to the weight of the water that is pushed aside by the object when it is submerged. This can be calculated using Archimedes' principle.
Why does water rise when you put an object in it. kids answers?
When you put an object in water, it pushes some of the water out of the way. The water that gets pushed aside takes up more space, so the water level rises to make room. Think of it like how when you push your toys aside to make room for a new toy in your toy box.
What is it called when something in water pushes water aside?
This is called displacement, where an object submerged in water pushes water aside to make space for itself. This can be observed with objects like boats or swimmers in water.
How much fluid does an object displace?
An object displaces an amount of fluid equal to its own volume. This is known as Archimedes' principle of buoyancy. This means that the object pushes aside or moves an equivalent volume of fluid when it is submerged in a liquid.
What is the displacement of water?
When objects cannot be easily measured with a ruler water displacement is used to measure the objects volume. Water displacement measures the amount of water that is displaced, or moved. The amount that the waster rises is mL indicates the volume of the object in Cm3
A completely submerged object displaces it own?
volume of water, causing an equal volume of water to be pushed aside or displaced. This displacement of water creates a buoyant force that acts in the opposite direction to the force of gravity, helping to support the object in the water.
How could you find the invisible man in Piccadilly circus?
By the reactions of those he pushed aside.
Everything in or on water pushes some water aside even if it's just a little bit What is this called?
This is called "displacement", as the weight of water that moves is equal to the weight of the object on the water. Heavier objects displace more water. If the total weight of the object is greater than the water displaced by its volume, it is denser than water, and sinks.
