What type of data allows geologists to know what rock layers lie underneath Minnesota?

1 answer:

5 0

The answer is well log data, it is a detailed log of information taken from a borehole which geologist used to study geological formations of the earth's layer taken from samples returned from the borehole which was dugged.

A crane lifts an air conditioner to the top of a building. If the building is 12 m high, and the air conditioner has a mass of 2

andrey2020 [161]

Work needed = 23,520 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

height = 12 m

mass = 200 kg

Required

work needed by the crane

Solution

Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object

Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.

Can be formulated

W = F x d

W = Work, J, Nm

F = Force, N

d = distance, m

F = m x g

Input the value :

W = mgd

W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m

W = 23520 J

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive p

aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C

Separation = 4.22 cm

a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.

Solution:

First of all:

Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:

$F_{p}$ = $q_{p}$ E

and, we know that, F = ma

So,

$m_{p}$ a = $q_{p}$ E

a = $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ Equation 1

So,

The distance covered by the electron is:

S = ut + 1/2 $at^{2}$

Here, u = 0.

S = 1/2 $at^{2}$

Put equation 1 into the above equation:

S = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 2

So,

Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:

(D-S) = 1/2 x ( $\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }$ ) $t^{2}$ Equation 3

We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,

$q_{p}$ = $q_{e}$ = q

By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:

$\frac{S}{D-S}$ = $\frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }$

Solve the above equation for S,

S $m_{p}$ = $m_{e}$ D - $m_{e}$ S

So,

S = $\frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p}) }$

Plugging in the values,

As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x $10^{-31}$ and the mass of proton is 1.67 x $10^{-27}$

S = $\frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27} }$

S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)

b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.

So,

we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.

So,

S = $\frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na}) }$

As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23

S = $\frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}$

S = 2.56 cm
