The answer is A. heat and pressure

Explanation:
A metamorphic rock is a result of a transformation of a pre-existing rock. The original rock is subjected to very high heat and pressure, which cause obvious physical and/or chemical changes.

You are on a new planet, and are trying to use a simple pendulum to find the gravity experienced on this new planet. You find th

levacccp [35]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Period based on the length of its rope and gravity, mathematically it can be expressed as

$T= 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

g = Gravity

L = Length

T = Period

Re-arrange to find the gravity we have

$g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2}$

Our values are given as

$L = 0.35m\\T = 2s\\$

Replacing we have

$g = \frac{4\pi^2 L}{T^2}$

$g = \frac{4\pi^2 0.35}{2^2}$

$g = 3.45 m/s^2$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

A particle travels in a circular orbit of radius 21 m. Its speed is changing at a rate of 23.1 m/s2 at an instant when its speed

Yuri [45]

The particle has an acceleration vector with one component directed toward the center of its orbit, and the other directing tangentially to its orbit. Call these components $\vec a_c$ ( $c$ for center) and $\vec a_t$ ( $t$ for tangent). Then its acceleration vector has magnitude

$|\vec a|=\sqrt{\|\vec a_c\|^2+\|\vec a_t\|^2}$

We have

$\|\vec a_c\|=\dfrac{\|\vec v\|^2}r$

where $\|\vec v\|$ is the particle's speed and $r$ is the radius of orbit, so

$\|\vec a_c\|=\dfrac{\left(37.2\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2}{21\,\rm m}=65.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

We're given that the particle's speed changes at a rate of 23.1 m/s^2. Its velocity vector points in the same direction as $\vec a_t$ , i.e. perpendicular to $\vec a_c$ , so

$\|\vec a_t\|=23.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Then the magnitude of the particle's acceleration is

$\|\vec a\|=\sqrt{\left(65.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)^2+\left(23.1\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)^2}=\boxed{69.8\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}}$
