Answer:

C. Cooling of molten lava and magma

Explanation:

The rocks under the surface of earth are heated at very high temperatures. They melt at these high temperatures and create magma. Magma composition depends upon the elements of the parent rocks. It also contains gases. The elements of earth crust are main elements of magma. When this magma is cooled and hardened, igneous rocks are produced. The formation of these rocks depends upon the following factors:

i) Temperature  

ii) Pressure  

iii) Water

iv) Parent rock composition

A ledge on a building is 20 m above the ground. A taut rope attached to a 4.0 kg can of paint sitting on the ledge passes up ove
Andrews [41]

Answer:

 t = 5.4 s

Explanation:

from the question we are given :

height (s) = 20 m

mass of paint (Mp) = 4 kg

mass of nails (Mn) = 3 kg

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}

  • The net force accelerating the can of paint should be equal to the difference in weight of the can of paint and the can of nails.

            weight of nails = mass of nails x g = 3 x 9.8 = 29.4 N

            weight of paint = mass nails x g = 4 x 9.8 = 39.2 N

             net force = 39.2 - 29.4 = 9.8 N

  • net force = total mass x acceleration

             9.8 = (3 +4) x a

              a = 1.4 m/s^{2}

  • from S = Ut + 0.5at^{2}  we can get  the time the carpenter has to catch the nails

          where U is the initial velocity and is 0 since the can was initially at            

            rest

           20 = (0 x t) + (0.5 x 1.4 x t^{2})

            20 = 0.7 x t^{2}

             t^{2} = 28.6

             t = 5.4 s

Hi :)

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area

The SI unit of pressure is N/m^2

Hope this helps!
