Igneous rocks are conglomerates, predominantly composed of rounded

gravel

Explanation:

The statement that igneous rocks are conglomerate predominantly composed of rounded gravel is not correct. Igneous rocks are rocks formed from magma that cools and solidifies.

Conglomerates are sedimentary rocks that are made of rounded clasts in a matrix.
They differ from igneous rocks that crystallize from molten magma.
Sedimentary rocks are usually derived from the process of weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition on the earth surface.
Igneous rocks forms from crystallized magma which can be on the surface or deep within the crust.

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

For 2.0 x 10³ J;

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J;

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m

Ch 27 HW Exercise 27.12 10 of 20 Constants A horizontal rectangular surface has dimensions 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm and is in a unifor

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Magnetic field, B = 0.88 T

Explanation:

It is given that,

The dimension of rectangular surface is 2.80 cm by 3.15 cm. The area of rectangular surface is, $A=8.82\ cm^2=0.000882\ m^2$

Angle between the uniform magnetic field and the horizontal, $\theta=31$

Magnetic flux, $\phi=4\times 10^{-4}\ Wb$

Let B is the magnitude of magnetic field in which the rectangular surface is placed. It is given by :

$\phi=BA\ cos\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle between magnetic field and the area

Here, $\theta=90-31=59^{\circ}$

$B=\dfrac{\phi}{A\ cos\theta}$

$B=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-4}}{0.000882\times cos(59)}$

B = 0.88 T

So, the magnitude of magnetic field is 0.88 T. Hence, this is the required solution.

A magnet has stronger force of attraction at the poles than in the middle why?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

The molecular magnets are arranged in an open chain so that the north pole or the south pole of the molecular magnets lie in the same direction which gives strong force at the poles whereas two opposite poles are arranged at the middle and the force cancel each other. So, poles have more force than the middle portion.

An elevator weighing 2,200 lbs is raised one story in 20 seconds. If the distance between stories is 10 feet, the power develope

Harman [31]

To calculate for the power developed in the elevator motor in ft.lb/s, we multiply the distance and the weight of the elevator and divide the product by the time.
Power = (10 ft)(2200 lb) / 20 s = 1100 ft.lb/s

Next, convert the calculated value to HP.
1100 ft.lb/s x (1 HP/ 550 ft.lb/s) = 2 HP
