Examine the images of the Grand Canyon below. Notice that most of the canyon consists of layers of sedimentary rocks, but if you

were to hike down into the inner gorge you would encounter the Vishnu Schist, a metamorphic rock. Which process were involved as the Vishnu Schist metamorphosed?

Intense temperature and pressure of regional metamorphism

Explanation:

The process that cause the formation of the Vishnu Schist is the intense temperature and pressure as a result of regional metamorphism.

  • Regional metamorphism is an extensive metamorphism of an area as a result of temperature and pressure changes.
  • The schist is a foliated metamorphic rock usually found in areas of moderate to high grade temperature and pressure.
  • The Vishnu schist must have been metamorphosed before the new sediments were deposited on top.

Which object has more momentum?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

Calculate the acceleration of gravity as a function of depth in the earth (assume it is a sphere). You may use an average densit
Ber [7]

Solution :

Acceleration due to gravity of the earth, g $=\frac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\frac{G(4/3 \pi R^2 \rho)}{R^2}=G(4/3 \pi R \rho)$

Acceleration due to gravity at 1000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-1000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 822486 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.822 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 8.23 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 2000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-2000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 673552 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.673 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 6.73 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 3000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-3000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 3371 \times 153.86 \times 10^{-8}$

  = 5.18 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity at 4000 km depths is :

$g=G\left(\frac{4}{3}\pi (R-d) \rho\right)$

$g=6.67 \times 10^{-11}\left(\frac{4}{3}\times 3.14 \times (6371-4000) \times 5.5 \times 10^3\right)$

  $= 153.84 \times 2371 \times 10^{-8}$

  $=0.364 \times 10^{-2} \ km/s$

 = 3.64 m/s
