An unconformity, or abnormality in the layers of rocks, signifies that the process of layering was somehow interrupted. The only feasible choice for this would be (B), where erosion would have interrupted the layering process.

Weight is influenced by which of the following
nignag [31]

Out of the given options, weight is influenced by mass and gravity

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The object's mass is defined as the quantity of a matter with which the object is formed. It can change its state of matter but the quantity will remain the same. However, the weight is defined as how much force gravity exerts on the object's mass to pull it.

The mass is always same irrespective the location but the weight may vary from one place to the other while talking for the bigger picture. For example, the object's weight may be 60 kg on Earth but when it is measured on the moon, it will be lesser.

The weight of an object generally has nothing doing with the volume and it doesn't depend solely on the gravitational pull. The mass plays a crucial role.

Carlos was camping and getting cold as the sun went down. He wanted to light a fire for warmth and light. However, he discovered
storchak [24]
1. The chemical reaction produced by Carlo's fire is exergonic because energy is "going out". As the reaction proceeds, entropy increases as the energy stored in the dry wood and leaves are used up as fuel to create the fire which produces low quality light and warmth.  

2. This reaction is a classic example of an exothermic reaction. Exothermic reactions are characterized with the presence of heat and light in the products. Combustion reactions are always exothermic in nature.

3. Catalyst are substances that are used to speed up reactions by lowering the activation requirement. Catalysts aren't consumed in the reaction and can still be chemically retrieved afterwards. In this situation, the leaves cannot be retrieved after the reaction ends. The leaves speed up the heating of the wood but it does not behave as a catalyst.

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is
Brilliant_brown [7]

Question:

The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:

Alternative             Precipitation                                

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100                       100                    300

Expand           350                       500                   200

Build new       750                       300                    0

If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?

A. $140,000

B. $170,000

C. $285,000

D. $305,000

E. $475,000

Answer:

D. $170,000

Explanation:

The expected long run profits are  for

                        Low                Normal                 High

Do nothing    -100*0.3                100*0.2                   300*0.5 = 140

Expand           350*0.3                500*0.2                  200*0.5 = 305

Build new       750*0.3                300*0.2                  0*0.5    = 285

Therefore the expected long run profits are

$140,000

$305,000

$285,000

Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand

=$305,000

EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000

Sound waves have relatively long wavelengths. We can hear people around the corner before we can see them. Which wave behavior d
pogonyaev
I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.  
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

5. What is the velocity of a Nolan Catholic football player if he runs 200.0 m in 24.0 s?
Degger [83]

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed {\sf{8.33 \: m \:/s \: }}}}}

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 200 metre

Time taken = 24 second

Velocity = ?

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>velocity</u><u> </u>

\boxed{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken}}}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity =  \frac{200 \: m}{24 \: s} }}

\dashrightarrow{ \sf{velocity = 8.33 \: m/s}}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
