The rock cycle is a slow process is true

This is true.

Why?

Rock comes in many forms and is caused in different ways. Lava comes up from volcanoes (yes quickly) but what happens then? It is gradually eroded by weather. It breaks down into small rocks and stones and then into fine grains often forming very rich soil. Eventually, it reaches rivers where it is deposited as mud. Some carry on into the sea as salt. Both mud and silt solidify.

What is a cool example of newtons 3rd law?

USPshnik [31]

This law means that when one object exerts force on another, the same amount of force is exerted on the initial object, but in the opposite reaction. For example, when a billiard ball strikes another ball, the second ball is propelled forward. Simultaneously, the momentum of the first ball is slowed or stopped by opposing force. The amount that the first object is affected by the opposing force depends on the mass and motion of the second object.

How are particles in liquids, solids, and gases the same? How are they different?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

A piano wire with mass 2.60g and length 84.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplit

likoan [24]

Answer:

Power will be 0.2023 watt

And when amplitude is halved then power will be 0.0505 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass of the Piano wire m = 2.60 gram = 0.0026 kg

Length of wire l = 84 cm = 0.84 m

So mass density $\mu =\frac{m}{l}=\frac{0.0026}{0.84}=0.0031kg/m$

Tension in the wire T = 25 N

Frequency f = 120 Hz

So angular frequency $\omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 120=753.6rad/sec$

And amplitude A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

We have to find the generated power

Power is given by $P=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu T}\omega ^2A^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{0.0031\times 25}\times 753.6^2\times 0.0016^2=0.2023watt$

From the relation we can see that power $P\ \propto\ A^2$

So if amplitude is halved then power will be $\frac{1}{4}$ times

So power will be equal to $\frac{0.2023}{2}=0.0505watt$

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a

klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
