A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is ________

Physics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
6 0
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.

How much energy ( in joules ) is released when 0.06 kilograms of mercury is condensed to a liquid at the same temperature ?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

B. 17,705.1 J

Explanation:

The hear released when the mercury condenses into a liquid is given by:

Q=m \lambda_v

where

m = 0.06 kg is the mass of the mercury

\lambda_v is the latent heat of vaporization

For mercury, the latent heat of vaporization is \lambda_v = 296 kJ/kg, so the heat released during the process is:

Q=(0.06 kg)(296 kJ/kg)=17.76 kJ = 17,760 J

So, the closest option is

B. 17,705.1 J

Which of the following choices is a single-replacement reaction? A. 2K + Br2 2KBr B. 2H2 + O2 2H2O C. Mg + FeO Fe + MgO D. C + 2
Otrada [13]
A single replacement reaction occurs when two different cations switch places to combine with the same anion. One element forms a compound while another element is released from the compound. In a single replacement reaction, or single displacement reaction, a single<span> uncombined element replaces another in a compound.

So you're answer is probably c.

An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first
nordsb [41]

Answer:

a=0.555m/s^2

Explanation:

First we find the distance traveled from the moment the engineer reacts to the car, assuming uniform movement

X=VT

X=(18)(0.45)=8.1m

then we find the distance at which the deceleration begins, which is obtained by subtracting the total distance with the inner result

X=300-8.1=291.9

finally we use the equation for constant acceleration

Vf=0 final speed

Vo=18m/s= initial speed

X=291.9m

(Vf^2-Vo^2)/2X=a

(0-18^2)/(2*291.9)=a

a=0.555m/s^2
