What is a mafic rock

1 answer:

5 0

Mafic is an adjective describing a silicate mineral or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron, and is thus a portmanteau of magnesium and ferric. Most mafic minerals are dark in color, and common rock-forming mafic minerals include olivine, pyroxene, amphibole, and biotite

Calculate the total resistance in a parallel circuit made up of resistances of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 4Ω. (Hint: When converting to a decim

Answer:

Total resistance = 0.92Ω

Explanation:

For parallel connected resistors we have effective resistance

$\frac{1}{R_{eff}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+.....$

Here parallel circuit made up of resistances of 2Ω, 3Ω, and 4Ω.

That is

R₁ = 2Ω

R₂ = 3Ω

R₃ = 4Ω

Substituting

$\frac{1}{R_{eff}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eff}}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eff}}=\frac{6+4+3}{12}\\\\R_{eff}=\frac{12}{13}=0.92ohm$

Total resistance = 0.92Ω

A car travels due east 14 miles in 18 minutes. Then, the car turns around and returns to its starting point, taking an additiona

N76 [4]

Answer:

(a) The average speed is 0.85 milles/minute

(b) The average velocity is zero

Explanation:

In order to answer part (a) and (b) you have to apply the formulas for average speed and average velocity which are:

<em>-Average speed formula:</em>

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where d is the total distance traveled and t is the tota time

Replacing the given values:

$v=\frac{14+14}{18+15}\\v=\frac{28}{33} \\v=0.85$ milles/minute

Notice that you have to replace the total distance, which is 14 milles for the go plus 14 milles for the return. The same for the total time.

<em>-Average velocity formula:</em>

V = Δx/Δt

Where V is the velocity vector, Δx is the displacement and Δt is the change in time

V= $\frac{X2-X1}{t2-t1}$

Where X2 is the final position and X1 is the initial position

In this case X1= 0 i and X2=0 i (i is the unit vector in the x direction). So, the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the average velocity is:

V= 0 i [milles/minute]

The eagle drops the trout a height of 6.1 m the fish travels 7.9 m horizontaly before hitting the water what is the velocity of

Semenov [28]

The velocity of the eagle is 7.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the fish is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal velocity of the fish is equal to the horizontal velocity of the eagle

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$
