Refraction is when it is broken light, or how much propagating waves are bent. Reflection is light bouncing off of an object and being transferred somewhere else, like a flashlight on a mirror whose light is seen on the ceiling.

Explain how the principle of uniformitarianism would help geologists determine the source of a layer of particular igneous rock
HACTEHA [7]

Explanation:

The principle of uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton, a Scottish geologist to explain geologic processes and how they relate in space.

According to the principle "the present is the key to the past and geologic process occurring today have occurred in times past. ".

  • Saddled with this knowledge, geologists can understand and unravel how rocks form and how the earth has been sculpted.
  • Today, in some places on earth, we see volcanic activities.
  • Such a place is on the Hawaiian Islands where hot plumes are coming to the surface.
  • In like manner, the lava cools and solidifies to form new volcanic basalt.  
  • Using this knowledge, any geologist can unravel any igneous rock.
  • From the activities in Hawaii, we know that past igneous rocks must have been formed by the cooling and solidification of magma.
  • This the tenet of the uniformitarian principle.

A 1200 kg car starts from rest and travels 100m in a time of 10 seconds . A) what is the acceleration of the car? B) what force
SVEN [57.7K]
Given:
Mass (m) = 1200 kg
Distance (s) = 100 m
Time (t) = 10 seconds
Now,
velocity (v) =  \frac{distance}{time}

                         = \frac{100~ m}{10~seconds}

                         = 10 m/s
<span><u>Note that this one is the final velocity.</u></span><u />
We also know that, 
initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s .......<span> because the car starts from rest.
</span>Now,
acceleration (a)= \frac{change~in~velocity}{time}

                               = \frac{v-u}{t}

                               = \frac{10-0}{10}

                               = 1 m/s²
Now,
Force (F) = mass (m) * acceleration (a)
                = 1200 kg * 1 m/s²
                = 1200 kg.m/s²
                = 1200 N
Now,
Work Done (W) = Force (F) * displacement (s) ....<span>note that displacement is                                                                                                      same as distance.
</span><span>                          = 1200 N * 100 m
</span>                          = 120000 N.m
                          = 120000 J
Now,
Power (P) = \frac{Work~done(W)}{time(t)}

                 = \frac{120000~J}{10s}

                 = 12000 J/s
                 = 12000 watt
SO,
 A) The acceleration of the car is 1 m/s².
 B) 1200 Newton (N) force must have acted on the car.
 C) The velocity of the car after 10 seconds is 10 m/s.
 D) 120000 Joule (J) work was done on the car.
 E) The engine produced a minimum power of 12000 watt.
