Match the lithification processes.

Physics
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
4 0

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.

Suppose a scoentist was able to construct a barometer with a liquid being denser than mercury , then how high would the liquid r
ki77a [65]

Answer:

the liquid has less height than the mercury

      h_{ liquid} = \frac{\rho_{Hg} }{\rho_{liqid}}  \  h_{Hg}

Explanation:

The pressure as a function of the height is given by

        P = ρ g h

where ρ is the density of the liquid, g the acceleration of gravity and h the height reached by the column of the liquid

In that case they say that the pressure is the standard one that is P = 1.01 10⁵ Pa = 760 mmHg

The first way to give the pressure is in SI units and the second way is the height that the mercury column reaches

In the case of building a barometer with a liquid that has a density greater than that of mercury

            ρ_liquid > ρ_Hg

             

the pressure

              P =ρ_lquid g h_liquid

if we have the same pressure

            ρ_{Hg} g h_{Hg} = ρ_{liquid}  g h_{liquid}

            h_{ liquid} = \frac{\rho_{Hg} }{\rho_{liqid}}  \  h_{Hg}

therefore the liquid has less height than the mercury

a runner covers the last straight stretch of the race in 4 s. durning that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9m/s what is the run
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The runner speeds up from vo=5 m/s to vf=9 m/s in t=4 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{9-5}{4}

\displaystyle a=\frac{4}{4}=1

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays  this represent  is  N= 23*10^{10}  

Explanation:

 From the question we are told that

    The amount of Radiation received by an average american is I_a = 2.28 \ mSv

     The source of the radiation is S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle

 Generally

            1 \  J/kg = 1000 mSv

   Therefore  2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg

Also  1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J

  Therefore  2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg}  * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg

           An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

      The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

        1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg  --------> x

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

           x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV

              x = 126.2*10^{16}eV

Therefore the total  energy  deposited is x = 126.2*10^{16}eV

The approximate number of decays  this represent  is mathematically evaluated as

            N = \frac{x}{S}

Where n is the approximate number of decay

   Substituting values

                             N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}  

                                  N= 23*10^{10}
