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.

If a 60-watt bulb is used to light a room, how much current is flowing through the bulb given that the voltage is 120 volts?

Pavel [41]

Well, if I understand correctly, I think it'd be 60, because 60+60= 120, but I may be wrong. It's not my best subject, but why not try to help even though I suck lol.

A tugboat tows a ship at a constant velocity. The tow harness consists of a single tow cable attached to the tugboat at point A

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The tensions in $T_{BC}$ is approximately 4,934.2 lb and the tension in $T_{BD}$ is approximately 6,035.7 lb

Explanation:

The given information are;

The angle formed by the two rope segments are;

The angle, Φ, formed by rope segment BC with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 26.0°

The angle, θ, formed by rope segment BD with the line AB extended to the center (midpoint) of the ship = 21.0°

Therefore, we have;

The tension in rope segment BC = $T_{BC}$

The tension in rope segment BD = $T_{BD}$

The tension in rope segment AB = $T_{AB}$ = Pulling force of tugboat = 1200 lb

By resolution of forces acting along the line A_F gives;

$T_{BC}$ × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = $T_{AB}$ = 1200 lb

$T_{BC}$ × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb............(1)

Similarly, we have for equilibrium, the sum of the forces acting perpendicular to tow cable = 0, therefore, we have;

$T_{BC}$ × sin(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°) = 0...........................(2)

Which gives;

$T_{BC}$ × sin(26.0°) = - $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°)

$T_{BC}$ = - $T_{BD}$ × sin(21.0°)/(sin(26.0°)) ≈ - $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175

Substituting the value of, $T_{BC}$ , in equation (1), gives;

- $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175 × cos(26.0°) + $T_{BD}$ × cos(21.0°) = 1200 lb

- $T_{BD}$ × 0.7348 + $T_{BD}$ ×0.9336 = 1200 lb

$T_{BD}$ ×0.1988 = 1200 lb

$T_{BD}$ ≈ 1200 lb/0.1988 = 6,035.6938 lb

$T_{BD}$ ≈ 6,035.6938 lb

$T_{BC}$ ≈ - $T_{BD}$ × 0.8175 = 6,035.6938 × 0.8175 = -4934.1733 lb

$T_{BC}$ ≈ -4934.1733 lb

From which we have;

The tensions in $T_{BC}$ ≈ -4934.2 lb and $T_{BD}$ ≈ 6,035.7 lb.

A 15 kg box is sliding down an incline of 35 degrees. The incline has a coefficient of friction of 0.25. If the box starts at re

valina [46]

The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude w, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. n, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. f, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ F = -f + w sin(35°) = m a

• net perpendicular force:

∑ F = n - w cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

n = w cos(35°)

n = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

n ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

f = µ n

f = 0.25 (120 N)

f ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) a

a ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

a ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed v given that it starts at rest, with v₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆x = 3 m:

v² - v₀² = 2 a ∆x

v² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

v = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

v ≈ 4.7 m/s

If a marble is released from a height of 10 meters how long would it take to hit the ground?

zlopas [31]

S = ut + 0.5at^2

10 = 0 + 0.5(9.81)t^2 {and if g = 10 then t^2 = 2 so t ~1.414} 

t^2 ~ 2.04 

t ~ 1.43 seconds
