The deeper you go, the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up.

Answer:

Pressure is force per unit area. In this case the force is primarily the weight of the overlying rock. So , in very simple terms, the deeper you go the more rock must be supported so the more force is required and the pressure goes up. It is basically the same thing that happens in the ocean and in the atmosphere.

How much heat is absorbed by a 71g iron skillet when its temperature rises from 11oC to 29oC?
diamong [38]
The right formula to use for this calculation is the heat capacity formula, 
Heat absorbed, Q = MCT, Where 
M = Mass of the substance = 71
C = Specific heat capacity for iron = 0.450 J/gc
T = Change in temperature = 29 - 11 = 18
Q = 71 * 0.450 *18 = 575.10
The amount of heat absorbed by the iron skillet is 575 J.

If the window is 11 m above the ground, find the time the stone is in flight.
rjkz [21]
d=vi*t+(1/2)gt²

d=11 m
g=9.8 m/s²
vi=0 m/s

11 m=0 m/s*t+(1/2)9.8 m/s²t²
11 m=4.9 m/s²t²
t²=11 m / 4.9 m/s²
t=√(11 m / 4.9 m/s²)=1.489... s≈1.5 s

Answer: the time the sone is in flight is 1.5 s

Arada [10]
From the planks equation
E=hv
V= c/ wave length
V= 3×10^8/30×10^-9
=1×10^16
E= hv
6.63×10^-34×1×10^16
= 6.63×10^-18
