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.

Why are there the 3 kinds of AC power?
Roman55 [17]
There are three major kinds of power supplies: unregulated (also called brute force), linear regulated, and switching. The fourth type of power supply circuit called the ripple-regulated, is a hybrid between the “brute force” and “switching” designs, and merits a subsection to itself.

An object, with a final position of x = 100.1 meters, initially started at x = -12.13 meters. What was its displacement? (Unit =
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

112.23 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the final position minus the initial position.

Δx = x − x₀

Δx = 100.1 m − (-12.13 m)

Δx = 112.23 m

Two narrow slits 0.02 mm apart are illuminated by light from a CuAr laser (λ = 633 nm) onto a screen. a) If the first fringe is
Masja [62]

Answer:

a) 0.063m

b) 2.72°

c) 3151 fringes

d) 1.87*10^-6m

Explanation:

a) To find the screen distance you use the following formula:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}\\\\D=\frac{dy}{m\lambda}

D: screen distance

d: distance between slits

m: order of the fringes

λ: wavelength

By replacing the values of the parameters you obtain:

D=\frac{(0.02*10^{-3}m)(0.2*10^{-2}m)}{(1)(633*10^{-9}m)}=0.063m

b) The condition for dark fringes is given by:

\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})=dsin\theta

for the first dark fringe the angle is:

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}{d})\\\\\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{(633*10^{-9}m)(1+\frac{1}{2})}{0.02*10^{-3}m})=2.72\°

c) the visible number of fringes is given by:

N=1+2\frac{D}{d}=1+\frac{0.063m}{0.02*10^{-3}}=3151 \ fringes

d) the wavelength of a laser in which its first order fringe coincides with the third one of the CuAr laser is:

y=\frac{(3)(633*10^{-9}m)(0.063m)}{0.02*10^{-3}m}=5.98*10^{-3}m\approx0.59cm\\\\\lambda'=\frac{dy}{mD}=\frac{(0.02*10^{-3}m)(0.59*10^{-2}m)}{(1)(0.063m)}=1.87*10^{-6}m

A slingshot is fired with an initial velocity of 100 m/s at an angle of 55° follows a parabolic trajectory and hits a stationary
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon is approximately 57.358 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the slingshot motion are;

The initial velocity of the slingshot, v = 100 m/s

The angle (to the horizontal) at which the slingshot is fired makes, θ = 55°

The path of the slingshot which hits the stationary balloon at the top of its flight = Parabolic trajectory

The horizontal component of the velocity = vₓ = v·cos(θ) = Constant

vₓ = 100 × cos(55°) ≈ 57.358

The horizontal speed with which the slingshot hits the balloon = vₓ ≈ 57.358 m/s.
