Explain how surface and subsurface events are integral parts of the rock cycle.

1 answer:

3 0

Example of surface events are erosion and weathering. Erosion is the carrying of a particle from one place to the other and weathering is the breaking down of particles. These processes help in rock formation because this allows physical changes (grouping together or breaking down) on a certain substance. Subsurface events are those which happened underground such as the flow of underground water which subsequently allow the deposition of minerals, etc.

an object of mass 6000 kg rests on the flatbed of a truck. it is held in place by metal brackets that can exert a maximum horizo

Otrada [13]

Answer:

minimum stopping distance will be d = 75 m

Explanation:

Maximum force exerted by the bracket is given as

F = 9000 N

now we know that mass of the object is

m = 6000 kg

so the maximum acceleration that truck can have is given as

$F = ma$

$9000 = 6000 a$

$a = 1.5 m/s^2$

now for finding minimum stopping distance of the truck

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d$

$0^2 - 15^2 = 2(-1.5) d$

$d = 75 m$

Answer:

D. 1×10⁻⁸ M

Explanation:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

(1×10⁻⁶) [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

True/False: Paraphrasing Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, gravity "handprint" makes an "indentation" in the fabric of sp

Y_Kistochka [10]

B.False

Einstein's vision of GR is NOT that somehow Gravity comes along and alters (indents?) some existing structure.
It is that Gravity (with its four possible sources) actually determines the entire global structure of Space-Time in which such sources are extant.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Time : 7.96 s

Distance Traveled : 357.8 m

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we first consider the accelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 1 for accelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Acceleration = a₁ = 14.5 m/s²

Time Period = t₁ = 3.1 s

Initial Velocity = Vi₁ = 0 m/s (Since, it starts from rest)

Final Velocity = Vf₁

Distance covered by sled during acceleration motion = s₁

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + (a₁)(t₁)

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi₁)(t) + (0.5)(a₁)(t₁)

s₁ = (0 m/s)(3.1 s) + (0.5)(14.5 m/s²)(3.1 s)

s₁ = 22.5 m

Now, we first consider the decelerated motion of rocket. We will be using the subscript 2 for decelerated motion.

So, for accelerated motion, we have:

Deceleration = a₂ = - 5.65 m/s²

Time Period = t₂ = ?

Initial Velocity = Vi₂ = Vf₁ = 44.95 m/s (Since, decelerate motion starts, where accelerated motion ends)

Final Velocity = Vf₂ = 0 m/s (Since, rocket will eventually stop)

Distance covered by sled during deceleration motion = s₂

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf₂ = Vi₂ + (a₂)(t₂)

0 m/s = 44.95 m/s + (- 5.65 m/s²)(t₂)

t₂ = (44.95 m/s)/(5.65 m/s²)

t₂ = 7.96 s

Now, using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi₂)(t₂) + (0.5)(a₂)(t₂)

s₂ = (44.95 m/s)(7.96 s) + (0.5)(- 5.65 m/s²)(7.96 s)

s₂ = 357.8 m - 22.5 m

s₂ = 335.3 m

Thus, the total distance covered by sled will be:

Total Dustance = S = s₁ + s₂

S = 22.5 m + 335.3 m

S = 357.8 m

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?

Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges. Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
