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.

What is resonance in sound

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Resonance in sound is when one object is vibrating at the same frequency to the second object of forces to the second frequency.

Explanation:

"Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies)." wikipedia I hope this helps you!

A 4.8 mF capacitor in series with a 500 Ω resistor is connected, by a switch, to a 12 V battery. The current through the resisto

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Current will be 81.7 mA

Which is not given in bellow option

Explanation:

We have given capacitance $C=4.8mF=4.8\times 10^{-3}F$

Resistance R = 500 ohm

Voltage V = 12 volt

We know that time constant of RC circuit of RC circuit is given by

$\tau =RC=500\times 4.8\times 10^{-3}=2.4sec$

Time is given as t = 1 sec

We know that current in RC circuit is given by

$i=\frac{v}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau }})$

So current $i=\frac{12}{500}(1-e^{\frac{-1}{2.4 }})=0.00817A=81.7mA$

lora16 [44]

<span>The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars. Further states, such as quark-gluon plasmas, are also believed to be possible. Much of the atomic matter of the universe is hot plasma in the form of rarefied interstellar medium and dense stars.</span>

A truck on the freeway originally moving at 6.6 meters/second accelerates uniformly with acceleration a = 2.8 meters/second2 for

Sonja [21]

Answer:

139.514 metres

Explanation:

Initial velocity of the truck = 6.6 m/s

Acceleration of the truck = 2.8 m/s^2

Time interval = 7.9 s

Therefore we use the formula,

s = ut + 1/2 at^2

*where s(the distance travelled)...u(the initial velocity)...t(the time period)

; s = 6.6(7.9) + 1/2 (2.8)(7.9)^2

; s = 52.14 + 87.374

The distance moved by the truck = 139.514m
