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.

Superman is riding his bicycle. At the base of a hill, he has a specific amount of kinetic energy. Then he coasts up the hill wi

algol13

Answer:

D. Friction and air resistance created heat on his trip up the hill.

Explanation:

Energy transformation from one form to another is not 100% efficient. This is the postulate of the first law of thermodynamics.

Most of the energy transformation is not purely 100%.

When energy is transformed, some are usually wasted.

In this case, in moving from bottom up, Superman produced some heat and encountered air resistance.
To reach the top, he must have overcome the resistance and produce enough heat to power him through.
This reduces the amount of potential energy that should have been the same as the kinetic energy down below.

slava [35]

Answer:

d) An object that is speeding up always has a positive acceleration, regardless of the direction it travels.

Explanation:

a ) a) An object that is slowing down while traveling in the negative x-direction always has a positive acceleration.

It has negative acceleration in the negative x-direction.

b) An object that is speeding up while traveling in the negative x-direction always has a positive acceleration.

It has a positive acceleration in the negative x-direction'

c) An object that is slowing down always has a negative acceleration, regardless of the direction it travels.
