Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.

Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes a time tt to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increase yo

ddd [48]

Answer:

38.6 mi/h

Explanation:

7.4 mi/h = 7.4mi/h * (1/60)hour/min * (1/60) min/s = 0.00206 mi/s

Let v (mi/s) be your original speed, then the time t it takes to go 1 mi/s is

t = 1/v

Since you increase v by 0.00206 mi/s, your time decreases by 15 s, this means

t - 15 = 1/(v+0.00206)

We can substitute t = 1/v to solve for v

$\frac{1}{v} - 15 = \frac{1}{v + 0.00206}$

We can multiply both sides of the equation with v(v+0.00206)

v+0.00206 - 15v(v+0.00206) = v

$-15v^2 - 0.0308v + 0.00206 = 0$

$v= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$v= \frac{0.03083\pm \sqrt{(-0.03083)^2 - 4*(-15)*(0.00205)}}{2*(-15)}$

$v= \frac{0.03083\pm0.35}{-30}$

v = -0.01278 or v = 0.01 0724 mi/s

Since v can only be positive we will pick v = 0.010724 mi/s or 0.010724*3600 = 38.6 mi/h

A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle

denpristay [2]

Answer:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/ $s^{2}$ = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = $\frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2$ .

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).
