Mkey [24]2 years ago

When it comes to the composition of the Earth, three main types of rock come into play. These are known as metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, and igneous rock, respectively. Also known as “fire rock” (derived from the Latin “ignus”), these type of rock are the most common type of rock in the Earth’s surface. In fact, combined with metaphoric rock, igneous rock makes up 90 to 95% of all rock to a depth of 16 km from the surface.

Igneous rocks are also very important because their mineral and chemical makeup can be used to learn about the composition, temperature and pressure that exists within the Earth’s mantle. They can also tell us much about the tectonic environment, given that they are closely linked to the convection of tectonic plates. But just how are these rocks formed?

In essence, igneous rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma (or lava). As hot, molten rock rises to the surface, it undergoes changes in temperature and pressure that cause it to cool, solidify, and crystallize. All told, there are over 700 known types of igneous rock, the majority of which are formed beneath the surface of the Earth’s crust. However, some are also formed on the surface as a result of volcanic activity.

Those that fit into the former category are known as intrusive (or plutonic) rocks, while those that fit into the latter are known as extrusive (or volcanic) rock. In addition to these, there is also hypabyssal (or subvolcanic rock), a less common form of igneous rock that is formed within the Earth between plutonic and volcanic rocks. hope that helped

You toss a ball straight up with an initial speed of 30m/s. How high does it go, and how long is it in the air (neglecting air r
Brut [27]

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is tossed straight up with an initial speed of 30 m/s

We need to find the height it will go and the time it takes in the air.

At its maximum height, its final speed, v = 0 and it will move under the action of gravity. Using equation of motion :

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u -gt

i.e. u = gt

t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{30\ m/s}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t=3.06\ s

So, the time for upward motion is 3.06 seconds. It means that it will in air for 3.06×2 = 6.12 seconds

Let d is the maximum distance covered by it.

d=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Putting all values

d=30(3.06)-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.06)^2\\\\d=45.91\ m

Hence, it will go to a height of 45.91 m and it will in the air for 6.12 seconds.

To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, F−. How many grams of
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
kaheart [24]
You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.
