What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?

Physics

Grace [21]3 years ago

The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.

In the oscillating spring ball system, where is the velocity of the ball the greatest?
nlexa [21]

The speed of an object in a mass-spring system is given under the function

v = \pm \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}(A^2-x^2)}

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

A = Amplitude

x = Position

When the position is at the equilibrium point (x = 0), the speed will be maximum, and could even be expressed as

v_{max}= A\sqrt{\frac{x}{m}}

So the correct answer is B.

Deffense [45]
The answer is D using the work formula
W= F•d but if it was against gravity, it would be 0 if gravity is exerting the same amount, I would pick D using the formula, but I'm not so sure sorry

andriy [413]

Answer:

the answer es c, the doppler Shift of spectral lines within the galaxy's spectrum

Explanation:

This is due to redshift, red approach or redshift, occurs when electromagnetic radiation, usually visible light, which is emitted or reflected from an object, is shifted to red at the end of the electromagnetic spectrum. More generally, redshift is defined as an increase in the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation received by a detector compared to the wavelength emitted by the source. This increase in wavelength corresponds to a decrease in the frequency of electromagnetic radiation. Instead, the decrease in wavelength is called blue shift. Any increase in wavelength is called "redshift", even if it occurs in electromagnetic radiation of non-visible wavelengths, such as gamma rays, X-rays and ultraviolet radiation. This designation can be confusing since at longer wavelengths than red (eg infrared, microwave and radio waves), "redshifts" move away from the red wavelength. So when talking about frequencies of waves smaller than red continues to mean that the wavelength tends to lengthen and not resemble red.

A redshift can occur when a light source moves away from an observer, corresponding to a Doppler shift that changes the perceived frequency of the sound waves. Although the observation of such redshifts, or their counterpart, towards blue, has numerous terrestrial applications (eg Doppler radar and radar gun),  astronomical spectroscopy uses Doppler redshifts to determine the movement of distant astronomical objects. This phenomenon was first predicted and observed in the 19th century when scientists began to consider the dynamic implications of the wave nature of light.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Incomplete question

This is the complete question

The Earth possesses an electric field of (average) magnitude 150 near its surface. The field points radially inward. Calculate the net electric flux outward through a spherical surface surrounding, and just beyond, the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field is 150N/C inward

i.e E = - 150 i

Then, electric flux (Φ) is given as

Φ=∮E.dA

Surface area of a sphere is

A=4πr²

dA=8πr dr

The area is outwardly i.e

dA=-8πr dr i

Φ=∮E.dA

Φ=∮-150 i • 8πr i dr from 0 to R

Φ= -1200π∮rdr. From 0 to R

Φ= -1200π r²/2. From 0 to R

Φ= -600π [R² -0²]

Φ= -600πR²

Where R is radius of earth which is 6,400,000m

Φ= -600πR²

Φ= -600π(6400000)²

Φ= -7.72×10^16 Nm²/C
