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.

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Assuming that the vertical speed of the ball is 14 m/s we found the given values:

a) V₀ = 23.4 m/s

b) h = 27.9 m

c) t = 0.96 s

d) t = 4.8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the vertical speed is 14 m/s (founded in the book) the initial speed of the ball can be calculated as follows:

$V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh$

Where:

$V_{f}$ : is the final speed = 14 m/s

$V_{0}$ : is the initial speed =?

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h: is the height = 18 m

$V_{0} = \sqrt{V_{f}^{2} + 2gh} = \sqrt{(14 m/s)^{2} + 2*9.81 m/s^{2}*18 m} = 23.4 m/s$

b) The maximum height is:

$V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} - 2gh$

$h = \frac{V_{0}^{2}}{2g} = \frac{(23. 4 m/s)^{2}}{2*9.81 m/s^{2}} = 27.9 m$

c) The time can be found using the following equation:

$V_{f} = V_{0} - gt$

$t = \frac{V_{0} - V_{f}}{g} = \frac{23.4 m/s - 14 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 0.96 s$

d) The flight time is given by:

$t_{v} = \frac{2V_{0}}{g} = \frac{2*23.4 m/s}{9.81 m/s^{2}} = 4.8 s$

I hope it helps you!

A migrating bird flew across a lake at an average speed of 18 meters per second. Was the distance that the bird flew across the

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

It cannot be said with 100% guarantee.

Explanation:

Since bird is travelling with 18 meters per second, that means that it covers a distance of 18 meters in 1 second.

for part 1 we convert 20 minutes into seconds, thus, 20 * 60 = 1200 seconds.

Distance covered in 1200 seconds will be:

S = v * t (S is distance , v is speed, t is time)

18 * 1200 = 21600 meters = 21.6 Kilometers

If the bird took less than 20 minutes than distance covered would be less than 21.6 Kilometer which could be greater than or lesser than 21 Kilometers. On average we can say that the distance bird travelled will be less than 21 Kilometer. But it is not definite.

For part B convert 0.4 hours into seconds to find the distance it travelled.

0.4 * 60 * 60 = 1440 seconds

Distance covered will be

18 * 1440 = 25920 meters = 25.9 Kilo meters.

Again, if the bird takes less than 0.4 hours to cover the lake, the lake will be less than 25.9 kilometers long. This means that it could be greater than or lesser than 21 kilometers. It cannot be definitive
