A conglomerate is a rock that forms as a result of compaction and cementation.

Conglomerate rock is a type of sedimentary rock which are formed as a result of compaction and cementation.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>Rock </h3>
  • A rock is a naturally occurring substances that is a solid mixture of one or more minerals together with organic matter.
  • Rocks are classified based on the chemical composition, texture and the way they are formed.  
<h3>Rock cycle</h3>
  • One type of rock may change from one form to another through a rock cycle.
  • Rock cycle is the process through each various rocks change from one form to another, normally an interchange between the three major types of rocks.
<h3>Major classification of rocks:</h3><h3>Sedimentary rocks </h3>
  • Sedimentary rocks are types of rocks that are formed through accumulation of sediments at low temperatures in tectonic layers and sinks. The process involved include compaction and cementation of sediments.
  • These sediments includes; pebbles, shells, sand and other material fragments.  
  • The sediments accumulates in layers and then harden into rocks over a period of time.
  • Examples of sedimentary rocks include; limestone and conglomerate
<h3>Metamorphic rocks</h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result of changes that occurs due to intense heat and pressure under the surface of the earth. They result from action of heat and pressure on other rocks that pre-existed.
  • These types of rocks are characterized by shiny crystals, ribbon-like layers among other features.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are marble and gneiss
<h3>Igneous rocks </h3>
  • These are types of rocks that are formed as a result hardening and cooling of magma from volcanic eruptions. Magma may cool inside the earth or when on the surface of the earth as a result of volcanic eruptions. The lava from this eruptions cools and hardens to form metamorphic rocks.
  • Igneous rocks are glass-like and shiny with no crystals. They may also have tiny spaces and holes due to gas bubbles trapped during the cooling process.
  • Examples of igneous rocks include obsidian and basalt.

Key words: Rocks, chemical composition, sedimentary rocks, conglomerate.

The equation used to predict the theoretical period Ty of a simple pendulum assumes a small amplitude of oscillation. A student
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice E".

Explanation:

In this situation the option e is right because its resistance decreases through time, however, the time is the same for the same reason, whereas the sphere deteriorates, somehow it travels shorter distances however if the air resistance becomes are using the amplitude of movement declines, that's why other choices were wrong.

022 (part 1 of 4) 10.0 points A ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 24.5 m/s. How high does it rise? The accelerati
svetoff [14.1K]

1)

Answer:

Part 1)

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

v_f = 24.5 m/s

Explanation:

Part 1)

initial speed of the ball upwards

v_i = 24.5 m/s

so maximum height of the ball is given by

H = \frac{v_i^2}{2g}

H = \frac{24.5^2}{2(9.80)}

H = 30.6 m

Part 2)

As we know that final speed will be zero at maximum height

so we will have

v_f - v_i = at

0 - 24.5 = (-9.8)t

t = 2.5 s

Part 3)

Since the time of ascent of ball is same as time of decent of the ball

so here ball will same time to hit the ground back

so here it is given as

t = 2.5 s

Part 4)

since the acceleration due to earth will be same during its return path as well as the time of the motion is also same

so here its final speed will be same as that of initial speed

so we have

v_f = 24.5 m/s

2)

Answer:

a = 9.76 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is released from rest

so the displacement of the object in vertical direction is given as

y = \frac{1}{2}at^2

4.88 = \frac{1}{2}a(1^2)

a = 9.76 m/s^2

3)

Answer:

v = 29.7 m/s

Explanation:

acceleration of the rocket is given as

a = 90 m/s^2

time taken by the rocket

t = 0.33 min

final speed of the rocket is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (90)(0.33)

v_f = 29.7 m/s

4)

Answer:

Part 1)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

d = 6.72 m

Explanation:

Part 1)

As it took t = 2.3 s to hit the water surface

so here we will have

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2.3^2)

y = 25.95 m

Part 2)

Distance traveled by it in horizontal direction is given as

d = v_x t

d = 2.92 \times 2.3

d = 6.72 m

What is the change in thermal energy E if the coefficent of kinetic friction between the box and floor is .4 , the distance the
Jet001 [13]

This question can be solved using the concept of friction energy.

The thermal energy change is b "258.4 J".

The change in thermal energy will be equal to the friction energy produced during the motion of the box.

Change\ In\ Thermal\ Energy = E = Friction\ Energy\\\\E = \mu fd

where,

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

f = force applied = 38 N

d = distance traveled by the box = 17 m

Therefore,

E = (0.4)(38\ N)(17\ m)

<u>E = 258.4 J</u>

A hoop (I = MR2) of mass 3 kg and radius 1.1 m is rolling at a center-of-mass speed of 11 m/s. An external force does 842 J of w
Scilla [17]

Answer:

v_f = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Since the hoop is rolling on the floor so its total kinetic energy is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

now for pure rolling condition we will have

v = R\omega

also we have

I = mR^2

now we will have

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(mR^2)\frac{v^2}{R^2}

KE = mv^2

now by work energy theorem we can say

W = KE_f - KE_i

842 J = mv_f^2 - mv_i^2

842 = 3(v_f^2) - 3\times 11^2

now solve for final speed

v_f = 20 m/s
