Any collection of things that have some influence on one another can be thought of as a system. When we talk about a system, we

are also talking about all the parts that should be included, how those parts interact with one another, and to how the system as a whole relates to other systems. We think of Earth as both an open and a closed system: energy enters and leaves (open system) but matter does not (closed system). Matter flows between reservoirs or sinks along pathways or fluxes.
There are three types of reservoirs in the lithospheric cycle: igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Various processes, such as burial and melting, volcanism, or erosion move this material from one reservoir to another. The major process that drives the rock cycle is plate tectonics, the movement of Earth's crustal plates that is driven by convection currents of the magma within the Earth itself.

Students are investigating the types of rocks found in various locations throughout California, the state where they live and attend school. What hypothesis might the students formulate to guide their research on rock formation, given that they live in California?
A) If volcanoes are the source of land masses in California, that most of the rock in the state should be igneous.
B) If California is the site of several plate boundaries, we would expect to see mostly metamorphic rock at the boundary sites.
C) If there is movement at plate boundaries and sediment is the result of erosion, then we would expect to find mostly sedimentary rock at plate boundaries.
D) Because there are mountainous regions in California and sedimentary rock is the result of erosion, we would expect to find mostly sedimentary roc

When water changes into vapor this is called?
Scorpion4ik [409]

When water changes into vapor, it is called evaporation.  BONUS:  This is formed by the boiling point of water, which is 230°F (Fahrenheit) or 110°C (Celsius).

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston
Kamila [148]
From gas laws:
\frac{PV}{T} = Constant

Therefore,
\frac{ P_{1}  V_{1} }{ T_{1} } =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2} }{ T_{2} }

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
T_{2} =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2}  T_{1} }{ P^{1}  V^{1} } =  \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K = 786.04 °C

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 35-g object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard.
alukav5142 [94]

To develop this problem it will be necessary to apply the concepts related to the frequency of a spring mass system, for which it is necessary that its mathematical function is described as

f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Here,

k = Spring constant

m = Mass

Our values are given as,

m = 35g = 35*10^{-3}kg

f = 1 Hz

Rearranging to find the spring constant we have that,

k = (2\pi f \sqrt{m})^2

k = 4\pi^2 f^2 m

k = (4) (\pi)^2 (1) (35*10^{-3})

k = 1.38N/m

Therefore the spring constant is 1.38N/m
