Answer:

C. Heat and Pressure

Explanation:

The arrow which is labeled A points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock.

There are three types of Rocks:

1. Igneous Rock

2. Metamorphic Rock

3. Sedimentary Rock

Rock cycle:

Rock cycle is the process that describes the transition between these three types of rocks. Each type has its own form and its own equilibrium condition. The rock type alters when it is pushed out of its equilibrium conditions.

Transition of Igneous rock to Metamorphic rock:

Igneous rock forms when magma cools down. The transition of Igneous Rock to Metamorphic Rock is a result of a process called Metamorphism. Metamorphism is the alteration in the structure of rock as a result of certain heat and pressure conditions. Inside Earth heat comes from pressure. Heat with pressure does not melt the rock but it bakes the rock. Baking is not melting but it changes the shape of the rock while it is still solid. It actually forms crystals. Because the rock changes its structure, it is called Metamorphic Rock.

A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 70 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strik

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The velocity of a ball will be "-70.13 m/s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

u = 70 m

t = 0.0 s

g = a = -9.8 m/s²

s = -1 m

v = ?

As we know,

The equation of motion will be:

⇒ $v^2-u^2=2as$

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒ $v^2-(70)^2=2\times (-9.8)\times (-1)$

⇒ $v^2-4900=19.6$

⇒ $v^2=19.6+4900$

⇒ $v^2=4919.6$

⇒ $v=\sqrt{4919.6}$

⇒ $v=70.13 \ m/s$

In downward direction, it will be:

⇒ $v=-70.13 \ m/s$

A lightning strike can transfer as much as electrons from the cloud to the ground. if the strike lasts 2ms , what is the average

malfutka [58]

The average electric current in the lightning will be 8 × $10^{-17}$ A

<h3>Why Lightning Conductors on top of a tower ?</h3>

The lightning conductors are long metal strips running from the spike end of a conductor on the top of a building to the earth. They are used to prevent buildings from destruction when struck by thunder or lightning.

Given that a lightning strike can transfer as much as electrons from the cloud to the ground. if the strike lasts 2ms, to calculate the average electric current in the lightning, we will first consider the charge released.

one charge = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

Average current I = Q/t

Where

Q = charge = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C

t = time = 2ms = 2 × $10^{-3}$ s

I = current = ?

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

I = 1.6 × $10^{-19}$ C ÷ 2 × $10^{-3}$

I = 8 × $10^{-17}$ A

Therefore, the average electric current in the lightning will be 8 × $10^{-17}$ A

From laboratory measurements, we know that a particular spectral line formed by hydrogen appears at a wavelength of 486.1 nanome

aksik [14]

Answer:

The star is moving toward us

Explanation:

The wavelength of a distant object changes due to the change in the distance between the observer and the object. This is known as the Doppler effect.

If the wavelength decreases this means that the wavelength in going towards blue which is shorter wavelength. This is known as blue shift. If blue shift occurs then it means that the object is coming closer to the observer.

Hence, the star described here has blue shifted and is moving closer to us.
