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.

The horizontal surface on which the block (mass 2.0 kg) slides is frictionless. The speed of the block before it touches the spr

ch4aika [34]

Answer:3.67 m/s

Explanation:

mass of block(m)=2 kg

Velocity of block=6 m/s

spring constant(k)=2 KN/m

Spring compression x=15 cm

Conserving Energy

energy lost by block =Gain in potential energy in spring

$\frac{m(v_1^2-v_2^2)}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$2\left [ 6^2-v_2^2\right ]=2\times 10^3\times \left [ 0.15\right ]^2$

$v_2=3.67 m/s$

Tom [10]

To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

Intersystem crossing is:

Semenov [28]

An intersystem crossing (ISC) is a non-radiative process that involves the transition between two electronic states with different spin multiplicity. That is, when an electron is excited in a molecule in a basal singlet state (either by absorption or radiation) into a state of greater energy, an excited singlet or triplet state can be obtained.

Therefore, ISC is understood as an a non radio active transition between states with different spin multiplicity.

Correct answer is C: a radiative transition between states with the same spin.
