Answer:

Sediments compact and cement together.

Explanation:

Generally, rocks are of three main types viz: Igneous, sedimentary and metarmophic rocks. Based on the question, the sedimentary rocks are that group of rocks formed by the coming together of sediments.

Sedimentary rocks can be formed in the following steps;

1. Rocks that have existed before undergoes weathering i.e. are broken down into smaller particles called sediments.

2. These sediments are then transported by currents e.g water

3. Deposited sediments accumulate and gathered round.

4. The accumulated sediments become compacted i.e. squashed and cemented i.e. stick together to form the sedimentary rock, in a process collectively lithification.

Hence, compaction and cementation (lithification) are the next steps in the process of sedimentary rocks formation after deposition.

Under which type of change in the ecosystem ( fast change or slow change) would more organisms be able to survive and why?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

slow change

Explanation:

If the change is slow they have time to adapt. An example of a fast change is human deforestation. With their habitat suddenly removed, the organisms living there will have to find new shelter and food fast. It's likely that they'll not even be able to find anything to survive off of and die, because organisms tend to have very specific needs. For example, pandas would go extinct if bamboo was eradicated.

Freshwater fish would not be able to adapt if it was suddenly dropped into salt water. They would die. An example of a slow change would be the slow addition of salt to freshwater. Fish that are better able to survive within higher levels of salinity will be more likely to reproduce. Slowly through reproduction a new type of fish suited to salt water may be developed over several generations.

A point on the edge of a flywheel with a radius of 16 cm is rotating at a rate of 10 radians per second. What is the linear spee

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

9600 cm/min

Explanation:

Well, the circumference of the flywheel is 2π×the radius(16 cm). That's how far the spot moves in one revolution.

10 radians per second divided by 2π is the number of revolutions per second.

So multiply that times the circumference and that's the distance the point has traveled.

let the linear speed of the spot be v

$v= \frac{10}{2\pi}\times2\pi\times16= 160cm/sec$

therefore, v= 160×60= 9600 cm/min
