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.

In an electromagnetics lab, you are studying two coils which have a mutual inductance of M=300 mH. Suppose that the current in t
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The mutual inductance of the two coils is

M = 300mH = 300 × 10^-3 H

M = 0.3 H

Current increase in the coil from 2.8A to 10A

∆I = I_2 - I_1 = 10 - 2.8

∆I = 7.2 A

Within the time 300ms

t = 300ms = 300 × 10^-3

t = 0.3s

Second Coil resistance

R_2 = 0.4 ohms

We want to find the current in the second coil,

The same induced EMF is in both coils, so let find the EMF,

From faradays law

ε = Mdi/dt

ε = M•∆I / ∆t

ε = 0.3 × 7.2 / 0.3

ε = 7.2 Volts

Now, this is the voltage across both coils,

Applying ohms law to the second coil, V=IR

ε = I_2•R_2

0.72 = I_2 • 0.4

I_2 = 0.72 / 0.4

I_2 = 1.8 Amps

The current in the second coil is 1.8A

What is newton's 3rd law of physics ​
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
