What is a sedimentary, igneous, and a metamorphic rock?

Physics
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago

Answer:

Igneous rock , formed by the cooling of magma (molten rock) inside the Earth or on the surface. Sedimentary rocks, formed from the products of weathering by cementation or precipitation on the Earth's surface. Metamorphic rocks, formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

A coffee filter of mass 1.4 grams dropped from a height of 4 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.9 m/s. How much kinetic ener
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy gained by the air molecules is 0.054313 J.                      

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a coffee filter, m = 1.4 g

Height from which it is dropped, h = 4 m

Speed at ground, v = 0.9 m/s

Initially, the coffee filter has potential energy. It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\P=1.4\times 10^{-3}\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 4\ m\\\\P=0.05488\ J

Finally, it will have kinetic energy. It is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.4\times 10^{-3}\times (0.9)^2\\\\E=0.000567\ J

The  kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is :

E=0.000567-0.05488=0.054313\ J

So, the kinetic energy Kair did the air molecules gain from the falling coffee filter is 0.054313 .

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p
slava [35]

Answer:

b. The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward

Explanation:

Initially, the seesaw is balanced because the torque exerted by the boy is equal to the torque exerted by the girl:

\tau_b = \tau_g\\W_b d_b = W_g d_g

where

Wb is the weight of the boy

db is the distance of the boy from the pivot

Wg is the weight of the girl

dg is the distance of the girl from the pivot

When the boy moves backward, the distance of the boy from the pivot ((d_b) increases, therefore the torques are no longer balanced: the torque exerted by the boy will be larger, and therefore the side of the boy will tilt downward.

What is the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4. 56 x 10^-19 j
Sauron [17]

The frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

<h3>What is a frequency?</h3>

The number of waves that travel through a particular point in a given length of time is described by frequency. So, if a wave takes half a second to pass, the frequency is 2 per second.

Given that the energy of the photon is 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J. Therefore, the frequency of the photon can be written as,

\rm \gamma = \dfrac{E}{h} = \dfrac{4.56x10^{-19} J}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}\ Jsec^{-1}}\\\\\\\gamma  = 6.88 \times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}

Hence, the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

A driver entering the outskirts of a city takes her foot off the accelerator so that the car slows down from 90 km/h to 50 km/h
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = (vf - vi) / t

a = (50 - 90) / 10.0

a = -4 km/h/s(1000 m/km / 3600 s/h)

a = - 1.11 m/s²
