What is the definition of Rock Strata and Law of Original Horizontality?

1 answer:

3 0

It's called the Principle of Original Horizontality
 it just means what it sounds like: that all rock layers were originally horizontal.
Of course, it only applies to sedimentary rocks.
Recall that sedimentary rock is composed of sediments, which are deposited and compacted in one place over time.

A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 50 kPa at 27°C. What will the pressure of the gas be if the temperature rises to 8

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

Explanation:

Given;

initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 27⁰ C = 27 + 273 = 300 k

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 87⁰ C = 87 + 273 = 360 K

Let the final pressure of the gas = P₂

Apply pressure law;

$\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \\\\P_2 = \frac{P_1T_2}{T_1} = \frac{50,000 \times 360}{300} = 60,000 \ Pa = 60 \ kPa$

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

An apple has 6 J of energy. The apple sits on a counter 3 m high. What is the mass of the apple?

Reika [66]

Explanation:

PE= mgh

6 J= (3m) (9.81 m/s2) (mass)

mass=( 6)/(3×9.81)

mass= 0.20 Kg
