Answer:
A. 29.4 Joules
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the book = 1.5kg
Height of lift = 2m
Unknown:
Potential energy acquired = ?
Solution:
Potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.
Mathematically;
Potential energy = mgh
m is the mass of the body
g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
h is the height
Potential energy = 1.5 x 9.8 x 2
Potential energy = 29.4J
Answer:
Explanation:
The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.
"The lithosphere is subdivided into tectonic plates. The upper part of the lithosphere which chemically reacts to the atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere through the soil forming process is called the pedosphere. The lithosphere is underlain by the athenosphere which is the weaker, hotter, deeper part of the upper mantle."
Igneous rocks are defined as formations made from solidified lava or magma.
When lava or hot Magma reaches the surface of the earth or a water body it quickly cools down and changes it's from from a hot liquid to a solid rock.
The chemical composition of Igenous rocks can vary depending on their location, cooling time etc.
However, most Igenous rocks contain some or all of the following minerals:
1. Quartz
2. Micas
3. Amphiboles
4. Olivines
5. Pyroxenes
6. Feldspathoids
7. Feldspars
