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.

A 4.00-kg particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time according to x 5 t 1 2.0t 3, where x is in meters and t
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is ,

x =t + 2 t³ ,

dx/dt = velocity ( v ) = 1 + 6 t²

a) kinetic energy = 1/2 m v² = .5 x 4 ( 1 + 6 t² )² = 2 ( 1 + 6 t²)²

b ) Acceleration = dv /dt = 12 t .

force( F ) = mass x acceleration = 4 x 12 t = 48 t

Power = force x velocity = 48 t x ( 1 + 6 t²). = 48 t + 288 t³ )

work done = ∫ F dx =∫ 48 t x( 1 + 6t² )dt ; =  [48t²/2 + 48 x 6 x t³ /3 = 24 t² + 96 t³ )]₀² =  864 J

Milk containing 3.7% fat and 12.8% total solids is to be evaporated to produce a product containing 7.9% fat. What is the yield
ratelena [41]

Answer:

the yield of product is YP=46.835 % and the concentration of solids is

Cs = 27.33%

Explanation:

Assuming that all the solids and fats remains in the milk after the evaporation, then the mass of product mP will be

Mass of fat in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.037 = mP* 0.079

mP = 100 kg* 0.037/0.079  =  46.835 kg

then the yield YP of the product is

YP= mP / 100 kg =  46.835 kg / 100 kg = 46.835 %

YP= 46.835 %

the concentration of solids Cs is

Mass of solids in 100 kg of milk = 100 kg* 0.128 = 46.835 kg * Cs

Cs = 100 kg* 0.128 / 46.835 kg  = 0.2733 = 27.33%

Cs = 27.33%

On a hot summer day, 3.50 ✕ 106 J of heat transfer into a parked car takes place, increasing its temperature from 36.5°C to 44.4
anygoal [31]

Answer:

a) \Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b) \Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}

Explanation:

a)

Given:

amount of heat transfer occurred,dQ=3.5\times 10^6\ J

initial temperature of car, T_i=36.5+273=309.5\ K

final temperature of car, T_f=44.4+273=317.4\ K

We know that the change in entropy is given by:

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{3.5\times 10^6}{(44.4-36.5)} (heat is transferred into the system of car)

\Delta s=443037.9747\ J.K^{-1}

b)

amount of heat transfer form the system of house, dQ=5.8\times 10^8\ J

initial temperature of house, T_i=23.5+273=296.5\ K

final temperature of house, T_f=5.3+273=278.3\ K

\Delta s=\frac{dQ}{T_f-T_i}

\Delta s=\frac{5.8\times 10^8}{278.3-296.5}

\Delta s=31868131.8681\ J.K^{-1}
