<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Sedimentary rock

Granite is uplifted by the movement of tectonic plates. It will most likely become a <em><u>sedimentary rock</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Granite is an intrusive igneous rock that is coarse-grained and light-colored, mainly composed of feldspar and quartz. It forms from the crystallization or the cooling of magma in the Earth's crust.
<em><u>When igneous rocks such as granite undergo weathering and erosion they form sediments that are deposited, then compacted and cemented by the movement of tectonic plates resulting to the formation of sedimentary rocks.</u></em>

(a) Calculate the self-inductance of a solenoid that is

adell [148]

Answer:

a) 0.142mH

b) 14mV

Explanation:

the complete answer is:

(a) Calculate the self-inductance of a solenoid that is <ghtly wound with wire of diameter 0.10 cm, has a cross-sec<onal area of 0.90 cm2 , and is 40 cm long. (b) If the current through the solenoid decreases uniformly from 10 to 0 A in 0.10 s, what is the emf induced between the ends of the solenoid

a) the self inductance of a solenoid is given by:

$L=\frac{\mu_o N^2 A}{L}$

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4\pi*10^{-7}N/A^2

A: cross sectional area = 0.9cm^2=9*10^{-5}m

L: length of the solenoid = 40cm = 0.4m

The N turns of the wire is calculated by using the diameter of the wire:

N = (40cm)/(0.10cm)=400

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

$L=\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7}N/A^2)(400)^2(9*10^{-5}m^2))}{(0.4m)}=1.42*10^{-4}H$

the self inductance is 1.42*10^{-4}H = 0.142mH

b) to find the emf you can use:

$emf=L\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t}=(1.42*10^{-4}H)\frac{10A-0A}{0.10s}=0.014V=14mV$

the emf induced is 14mV

Find the initial velocity of a ball that has a final velocity of 17.9 m/s, west after it accelerated at 63.7 m/s2, west for 0.21

Musya8 [376]

Explanation:

Taking west to be positive, given:

v = 17.9 m/s

a = 63.7 m/s²

t = 0.21 s

Find: v₀

v = at + v₀

17.9 m/s = (63.7 m/s²) (0.21 s) + v₀

v₀ = 4.52 m/s

The initial velocity is 4.52 m/s west.

Block with mass m =7.6 kg is hung from a vertical spring. when the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.29 m. w

PSYCHO15rus [73]

1) 256.9 N/m

The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the block hanging on the spring:

$F=mg=(7.6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=74.5 N$

And the spring constant can be found by using Hook's law, because we know that the displacement caused by this force is x = 0.29 m:

$F=kx\\k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{74.5 N}{0.29 m}=256.9 N/m$

2) 1.08 Hz

The angular frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by the formula:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{256.9 N/m}{7.6 kg}}=5.81 rad/s$

And the frequency of oscillation is given by:

$\omega=2\pi f\\f=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{5.81 rad/s}=1.08 Hz$

3) 2.19 m/s

The velocity at time t of the block is given by:

$v=v_0 cos (\omega t)$

where

$v_0 = 4.4 m/s$ is the initial velocity of the block

$\omega=5.81 rad/s$ is the angular frequency

t is the time

Substituting t=0.36 s, we find the speed of the block at that time:

$v(0.36 s)=(4.4 m/s) ( cos ((5.81 rad/s)(0.36 s)) = -2.18 m/s$

And the negative sign means that the direction of the velocity is upward (because the initial velocity was downward)

4) 25.6 m/s^2

The maximum acceleration is given by:

$a_0 = \omega^2 A$

where A is the amplitude of the oscillation.

We can find the amplitude by using the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the kinetic energy at the equilibrium point must be equal to the elastic potential energy at the point of maximum displacement:

$K=U\\\frac{1}{2}mv_0^2 = \frac{1}{2}kA^2\\A=\sqrt{\frac{mv_0^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(7.6 kg)(4.4 m/s)^2}{256.9 N/m}}=0.76 m$

So, the maximum acceleration is

$a_0 = \omega^2 A=(5.81 rad/s)^2 (0.76 m)=25.6 m/s^2$

5) 95.1 N

The magnitude of the net force acting on the block is given by the difference between the weight and the restoring force of the spring:

$F=mg-kx$

First, we need to find the position x at t=0.36 s, which is given by

$x(t)=A sin(\omega t)=(0.76 m)(sin ((5.81 rad/s)(0.36 s))=0.66 m$

And so, the net force is

$F=(7.6 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)-(256.9 N/m)(0.66 m)=-95.1 N$

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is upward.

Define the term acceleration due to gravity

kifflom [539]

Answer

Acceleration

Acceleration Means rate of Change of velocity with respect to time.

acceleration due to gravity

when a body falls freely means no other force act on it except gravitational force that time velocity of object does not remains constant but it changes as it approaches towards the ground it means body get accelerated and this acceleration which is gained by the body due to gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity it is denoted by g. Acceleration due to gravity is different on different planet. SI unit of is m/s^2 . On earth its standard value is 9.80665m/s^2.
