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.

Through what process is carbon pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle
Andrei [34K]

Carbon is pulled from the atmosphere in the carbon cycle through the process of photosynthesis. Details about photosynthesis can be found below.

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants obtain their nutrition by utilizing energy from sunlight.

Green plants absorb carbon in the form of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in the photosynthetic process.

This means that one way that carbon is removed from the atmosphere during the carbon cycle is through photosynthesis.

In a solution,a Is the substance being dissolved
Elena-2011 [213]
In a solution, a SOLUTE is the substance being dissolved.

In a solution, a SOLVENT is the substance in which something is dissolved.

For example in salt water, the salt is the solute. And the water is the solvent. Usually, which substance has a larger amount in the solution can be called a solvent. It doesn't matter if it's a gas, solid, or liquid. They can all be solute or solvents.

Oil of specific gravity 0.75 flows through a smooth contraction in a pipe at a volumetric flow rate of 3.2 cu ft / sec.Find the
pogonyaev

Answer:

The force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of oil, γ = 0.75

Volumetric flow rate, V 3.2 Ft³/s = 0.0906 m³/s

\gamma =\frac{\rho_o}{\rho_w}

where;

\rho_o is the density of oil

\rho_w is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

∴density of oil (\rho_o) = γ × density of water(\rho_w)

                               = 0.75 × 1000 kg/m³

                                = 750kg/m³

Buoyant Force = ρVg

                         = 750 × 0.0906 × 9.8

                         = 665.91 N ↑

This force acts upward or opposite gravitational force.

Therefore, the force required to hold the contraction in place is 665.91 N ↑

a fan is rotating clockwise and its acceleration has a positive sign. is the angular velocity of the fan speeding up, slowing do
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The angular velocity is slowing down.

Explanation:

  • By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
  • If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.
