The answers are:
1. Compaction - grains move closer together.
2. Foliation - parallel alignment of platy grains.
3. Recrystallization - grains take on a larger size.
4. Burial metamorphism - when a rock changes because of surrounding pressure.

Compaction produce rocks that have a tighter grain arrangement due to heat and pressure the rock undergoes. This process reduces the size of the rock.

Foliation occurs when pressure is put on one side of the grains more than any other direction. This creates platy structured rocks, which align under pressure.

Recrystallization is a process where the chemical composition a rock is changed. The mineral grains that are produced in this process are larger than the original grains.

Burial metamorphism occurs when rocks get buried deeper and deeper. They change due to the pressure from the overlying layers.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

93328 kg

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of mud = 1900 kg/m³

Volume of the cuboid is given by

$V=2300\times 750\times 1.4\\\Rightarrow V=2415000\ m^3$

Volume is also given by

$V=Al\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{V}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{2415000}{520\times 520}\\\Rightarrow l=8.9312\ m$

The length of the cuboid is 0.89312 m

For the small volume

$V_a=al\\\Rightarrow V_a=5.5\times 8.9312\\\Rightarrow V_a=49.12\ m^3$

Mass is given by

$m=\rho V_a\\\Rightarrow m=1900\times 49.12\\\Rightarrow m=93328\ kg$

The mass of the mud is 93328 kg

What is the magnitude of the electric field at the origin produced by a semi-circular arc of charge = 7.6 μc, twice the charge o

Anna [14]

Orient the semi-circle arc such that it is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Now, by symmetry, the electric field in the x-direction cancels to zero. So the only thing of interest is the electric field in the y-direction.

dEy=kp/r^2*sin(a) where k is coulombs constant p is the charge density r is the radius of the arc and a is the angular position of each point on the arc (ranging from 0 to pi. Integrating this renders 2kq/(pi*r^3). Where k is 9*10^9, q is 9.8 uC r is .093 m
