Answer:

The gaps in the rock are known as discontinuities that are basically caused by erosion. The unconformities in the rock is mainly caused by the erosion that represent the irregular line on the surface of the rock. The layer of each rock create a gap between the upper and the lower layer.

Sometimes, the process of the over thrust can cause the gap on the surface of the rocks as the layer of the rock are set one over the another in the geological rock records.

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

An object's inertia is its tendency to maintain contact:

hello! it is velocity.

i say this because, Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. ... The state of motion of an object is defined by its velocity - the speed with a direction.
