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.

HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Since binary is only 1 and 0, you can use a flashlight to display something similar to Morse code (see explanation below)

Explanation:

In binary, 1 means "on" and 0 means "off". A way you can use visible light is through turning on and off a flashlight. If the flashlight is turned on, it would represent a 1. If the flashlight is turned off, it would represent a 0. To make the message easier and more accurately understood for the receiver make sure to flash the lights in a consistent pattern (ex. each flash lasts no longer than half a second, one second between each digit, etc.)

For example, let's say you're trying to send the message "11001"

  on     on    off     off     on

0       1       2       3       4       5      <em>Numbers represent seconds</em>

As you can see above the message starts at 0 seconds. Between 0 and 1 seconds the flashlight is turned on once. Between 1 and 2 seconds the flashlight is turned on again, Between 2 and 3 seconds as well as 3 and 4 seconds the flashlight is not turned on at all. And finally between 4 and 5 seconds the flashlight is turned on.

2. A 0.8 kg tetherball hangs on the end of a cord. It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground. a. What is the maximum
skad [1K]

Answer:

E = 16.464 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of tetherball, m = 0.8 kg

It is hit by a child and rises 2.1 m above the ground, h = 21. m

We need to find the maximum gravitational potential energy of the ball. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 0.8 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2.1 m

= 16.464 J

So, the maximum potential energy of the ball is 16.464 J.

A 0.43 kg hammer is moving horizontally at 5.2 m/s when it strikes a nail and comes to rest after driving the nail 0.014 m into
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The duration of the impact is 0.005384 seconds

Explanation:

Given

m = 0.43 kg

v = 5.2 m/s

x = 0.014 m

Knowing the formulas

v^{2}_{f} = v^{2}_{i} + 2ax\\0 = 5.2^{2}  + 2a*0.014\\a = - 965.71 m/s^{2} \\\\vf = vi + at\\0 = 5.2 + (965.71)t\\t = 0.005384 s
