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.

Gold in its pure form is too soft to be used for most jewelry. Therefore, the gold is mixed with other metals to produce an allo

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:18kt alloy contains

i) 75% of gold

rhogold=19.3g/cm^3

=75/100×19.3

=14.475g/cm^3

ii) 16% of silver

rhosilver=10.5g/cm^3

=16/100×10.5

=1.68g/cm^3

iii) 9% of copper

rhocopper =8.90g/cm^3

=9/100×8.9

=0.801g/cm^3

Overall density of 18kt gold

=(0.801+1.68+14.475)g/cm^3

=16.956g/cm^3

=17g/cm^3 to 3s.f

A boy with a mouse is 80 kg stands on a scale in an ascending elevator with an acceleration of 3 m/s What is the resultant upwar

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Upward force on the boy will be 1024 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the boy m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

It is given that elevator is ascending with acceleration of $3m/sec^2$

So net acceleration on the boy = 9.8+3 = 12.8 $m/sec^2$ ( As the car elevator is moving ascending )

So upward force on the boy will be equal to F = m(g+a)

So $F=80\times 12.8=1024N$

So upward force on the boy will be 1024 N

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 * 10-6 / oC) that is 0.25 m

DIA [1.3K]

9* $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation:

Step 1:

We are given the initial length of the Pyrex glass dish at a particular temperature and need to calculate the change in the length when the temperature changes by 120° C. The coefficient of linear expansion of Pyrex is provided.

Step 2:

Change in length = Coefficient of linear expansion * Change in temperature * Initial length

Step 3:

Coefficient of linear expansion = 3* $10^{-6}$ /°C

Change in temperature = 120°C = 120 K

Initial length = 0.25 m

Step 4:

Change in length = 3* $10^{-6}$ * 120 * 0.25 = 9* $10^{-5}$ m
