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.

If you know that the rock fell 4.9 m in 1 s , how far did it drop in the first 0.5 s after you dropped it?
klio [65]
When an object is free-falling, no other force is acting upon it but the gravitational force. Because of this, the equations of motion are simplified. We can determine first the initial velocity:

v = √2gy = √2(9.81)(4.9) = 9.805 m/s

Then, we use this to the equation below:
y = vt + 1/2*at²
y = (9.805)(0.5) + 1/2(9.81)(0.5)²
y = 6.13 m

Gold, which has a density of 19.32 g/cm3, is the most ductile metal and can be pressed into a thin leaf or drawn out into a long
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

a) 578.0 cm²

b) 25.18 km

Explanation:

We're given the density and mass, so first calculate the volume.

D = M / V

V = M / D

V = (6.740 g) / (19.32 g/cm³)

V = 0.3489 cm³

a) The volume of any uniform flat shape (prism) is the area of the base times the thickness.

V = Ah

A = V / h

A = (0.3489 cm³) / (6.036×10⁻⁴ cm)

A = 578.0 cm²

b) The volume of a cylinder is pi times the square of the radius times the length.

V = πr²h

h = V / (πr²)

h = (0.3489 cm³) / (π (2.100×10⁻⁴ cm)²)

h = 2.518×10⁶ cm

h = 25.18 km

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

in a lever, a load of 600N is lifted by using 400 effort. If the load is at the distance of 20cm and the effort at the distance
koban [17]

Explanation:

Load (l) = 680N

Effort (E) = 500N

Length slope (l) = 12m

Height slope (h) = 8 m

Output = load * height

680 *8 = 5.44 *103 J

The Input = effort * length = 500 *12 = 6000J

the Mechanical advantage (M.A) = load effort= 600500=1.36

the Velocity ratio (V.R) =lh=128 = 1.5

the Efficiency =M.A100%V.R= 90.6%
