Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Rocks contains pores and spaces in them in which water gets trapped, and this causes the rock to break as water increases its volume due to freezing. This rocks are then eroded and are carried away into the streams and channels. The rivers and streams can carry particles of various shapes and size, which are further transported and deposited at a different place.

This particles or sediments then gets compacted and lithified in due course of time, and forms sedimentary rocks.

Water is also needed to undergo metasomatism process, that creates a metamorphic rock.

Hence, water flow is also an important driving force in rock cycle, along with tectonic activities.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

If a gun is sighted to hit targets that are at the same height as the gun and 95 m away, how low will the bullet hit if aimed di

Elina [12.6K]

Horizontal distance between the bullet and the target (s) = 195 m

Horizontal velocity of the bullet (u) = 275 m/s

Time taken to cover the horizontal distance = $\frac{Distance}{velocity}$

Time taken (t) = $\frac{195}{275}$

t = 0.709 s

Now, in the vertical direction:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Let the depth covered be h.

Time taken (T) = 0.709 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Now, using the seconds equation of motion:

$h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 +\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times 0.709^2$

h = 2.463 meters

Hence, the bullet will hit 2.463 meters below the target.

If a system absorbs heat and also does work on its surroundings its energy

VashaNatasha [74]

This is, I think, about heat engines and the first law of thermo ?Hot reservoir supplies heat to the system at a high temperature. System does work.System rejects some heat to a cold reservoir at a low temperature.That's a word description of a thermo block diagram. And I think it refers to the "steady state". Seems reasonable that the system would have to warm up (car engines, eg), during which process the (internal ?) energy would presumably rise. In the steady state, however, the energy will presumably be constant. If it continued to rise ... the thing would overheat ????
