Answer:

Heat and pressure

Explanation:

There are mainly three types of rocks- igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic. These rocks continuously change their form by the rock cycle due to heat and pressure. The rock cycle indicates a rock can't stay in its previous form and changes with time. The newly formed rock is the metamorphic rock. The metamorphic rock forms by application of high heat and pressure. These two energy is the catalytic agent to change the volume and composition of the rock.

It happens when the tectonic plates displace, and the upper plates go down, the lower plates come up. Due to this displacement, the underlying rocks come under high pressure. As a result of their shape and composition changes. Sometimes, this crushing of earth causes rising of molten lava to the crust. This lava comes in contact with the crustal rock changes its forms. The newly metamorphic rocks are a combination of new and old rock. They have recrystallized and reorganized.

e.g. Granite changes to gneiss and limestone form marble under high pressure and heat.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac
frutty [35]

Answer:

Velocity=1.1m/s

Amplitude=0.35m

Explanation:

Given:

time 't' = 2.9s

wavelength 'λ'= 5.5m

distance 'd'=0.7m

The time period 't' is the time b/w two successive waves. Therefore, the time it takes from the boat to travel  from its highest point to its lowest is a half period.

So, T = 2 x 2.9 => 5.8 s

As we know that frequency is the reciprocal of time period, we have

f= 1/T = 1/5.8 =>0.2 Hz

In order to find how fast are the waves traveling, the velocity is given by

Velocity = f λ

V= 0.2 x 5.5 =>1.1m/s

The distance between the boat's highest point to its lowest point is double the amplitude.

Therefore , we can write

Amplitude 'A'= d/2 =>0.7/2 =>0.35m

The op amp in this circuit is ideal. R3 has a maximum value of 100 kΩ and σ is restricted to the range of 0.2 ≤ σ ≤ 1.0. a. Calc
Firlakuza [10]

I have attached the circuit image missing in the question.

Answer:

A) The range of vo is; -6.6V≤ vo ≤-1V

B) σ = 0.1861

Explanation:

A) First of all, Let VΔ be the voltage from the potentiometer contact to the ground.

Thus; [(0 - vg)/(2000)] +[(0 - vΔ)/(50,000)] = 0

So, [(- vg)/(2000)] +[(- vΔ)/(50,000)] = 0

Simplifying further; -25 vg - vΔ = 0

From the question, vg = 40mV = 0.04 V

So - 25(0.04) = vΔ

So: vΔ = - 1 V

Now, [vΔ/(σRΔ)] + [(vΔ - 0)/(50,000)] + [(vΔ - vo)/((1 - σ)RΔ))] = 0

So, multiplying each term by RΔ to get; [vΔ/(σ)] + [(vΔ x RΔ)/(50,000)] + [(vΔ - vo)/((1 - σ))] = 0

So RΔ = 100kΩ or 100,000Ω from the question.

So, substituting for RΔ, we get,

[vΔ/(σ)] + [2vΔ] + [(vΔ - vo)/((1 - σ))] = 0

Let's put the value of - 1 for vΔ as gotten before.

So, ( - 1/σ) - 2 + [(-1 - vo)/(1 - σ)] = 0

Now let's make vo the subject of the equation to get;

-1 - vo = (1 - σ)[2 + (1/σ)]

-1 - vo = 2 - 2σ + (1/σ) - 1

-vo = 1 + 2 - 2σ + (1/σ) - 1

-vo = 2 - 2σ + (1/σ)

vo = - 1 (2 - 2σ + (1/σ))

When σ = 0.2; vo = - 1(2 - 0.4 + 5) =

- 1 x 6.6 = - 6.6V

Also when σ = 1;

vo = - 1(2 - 2 + 1) = - 1V

Therefore, the range of vo is;

- 6.6V ≤ vo ≤ - 1V

B) it will saturate at vo = - 7V

So, from;

vo = - 1 (2 - 2σ + (1/σ))

-7 = - 1 (2 - 2σ + (1/σ))

Divide both sides by (-1)

7 = (2 - 2σ + (1/σ))

Now, subtract 2 from both sides to get; 5 = - 2σ + (1/σ)

Multiply each term by α to get;

5σ = - 2σ^(2) + 1

So 2σ^(2) + 5σ - 1 = 0

Solving simultaneously and picking the positive value , we get σ to be approximately 0.1861

Why do sex cells contain only half the number of chromosomes needed for offspring? Explain
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

None, egg cells don't have chromosomes. No, sex cells do have chromosomes. Meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomes–one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number.

Compute the work performed when 32 pounds is lifted 10 feet.
Murljashka [212]
W = force * displacement
W = 32 pounds * 10 feet
Now you need to convert it to newton and meters
W = 142 N * 3.048 m = 434 J
(I approximated the conversions- I hope it helps)
