Oxana [17]3 years ago

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is called granite. These rocks are usually pink, gray or white  in color depending on the minerals found on the rock. Generally, granite would have a range of 20% to 60% by volume of quartz and a minimum of 35% feldspar. This rock is a result from  volcanic arcs and from the collision of continental masses. Due to its abundance, it has been used in a number of applications. It is used as an aggregate and filler in roading and construction industries. It is also cut and polished to be used in foyers, building facings, bench counters and tops.

under what conditions would a scale record a weight for an object which is equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force on
d1i1m1o1n [39]
In a non accelerated frame, also called inertial frame, when no additional forces are acting upon the body.

For instance, a scale in free fall will not record the weight, but zero, like the astronauts. But also, if someone is pulling the object or pushing it, the scale will record some other value.

After a surface interval my pressure group is D. I want to do a repetitive dive to 38 feet for 32 minutes. What will be my new p
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

New pressure group is N

Explanation:

The Repetitive Dive table has to be checked, the residual nitrogen for the maximum depth of 38 feet as a "D" diver, then add that to the actual dive time to get the total nitrogen time. The total nitrogen time and the maximum depth of 38 feet would put you on a pressure group N.

A 2300 kg sailboat is moving west at 5.5 m/s when an eastward wind
pogonyaev

The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of

950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²

Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of

<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)

<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s

which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.
