Columnar joints form when ________.

Physics
1 answer:
vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. during the final stages of cooling, a lava flow contracts, forming tall polygonal fractures

Explanation:

The columnar joints are very interesting and attractive for the eye geological features. They are not very common feature which makes them even more interesting. Some of them have been covered by sediments so they are hidden below the surface, but some have remained above the surface, sticking out as the erosion acts much slower on them than the surrounding area. They form when the lava cools off very quickly at its final stages, thus starting to contract, and instead of being smooth, they become polygonal fractures that are very tall.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

t=2s

Explanation:

The definition of power is:

P=\frac{W}{t}

And the work-energy theorem states that:

W=\Delta K

Since the movement starts from rest, we have that:

\Delta K=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

And putting all together:

P=\frac{mv_f^2}{2t}

Since we want the time taken:

t=\frac{mv_f^2}{2P}

Which for our values is:

t=\frac{(120kg)(5m/s)^2}{2(746W)}=2s
