A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

A bucket that has a mass of 20 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a ro

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W=67.46 Nm

Explanation:

in this question we have given

mass of bucket=20kg

mass of rope= $.2\frac{kg}{m}$

height of building= 15 meter

We have to find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building =work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

work done in lifting the rope is given as, $W_{1}=Force \times displacement$

= $\int\limits^{15}_0 {.2x} \, dx$ ..............(1)

= $.1\times 15^2$

=22.5 Nm

work done in lifting the sand is given as, $W_{2}=Force \times displacement$

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 F \, dx$ .................(2)

Here,

F=mx+c

here,

c=20-18

c=2

m= $\frac{20-18}{15-0}$

m=.133

Therefore,

$F=.133x+2$

Put value of F in equation 2

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 (.133x+2) \, dx$

$W_{2}=.133 \times 112.5+2\times15\\W_{2}=14.96+30\\W_{2}=44.96 Nm$

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building, $W=W_{1}+W_{2}$

W=22.5 Nm+44.96 Nm

W=67.46 Nm

In the desert environment the chemical weathering of rocks is generally reduced because there is a lack of rain, in which most chemical weathering is caused by. No rain, no chemicals, no chemical weathering.

ruslelena [56]

T1=40°C=313K
T_2=-10°C=263K

Applying Charles law

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow \dfrac{100}{313}=\dfrac{V_2}{263}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=\dfrac{26300}{313}$

$\\ \sf\Rrightarrow V_2=84.02ml$

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST Why do we see sedimentary rocks more often than igneous and metamorphic rocks?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet

Explanation:

We see sedimentary rocks more than other rock types because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet.

Sedimentary rocks typically form the earth cover due to the way they are formed.

These rocks are produced by the weathering, transportation and deposition of sediments within a basin.
In this basin, the sediment is lithified and converted to sedimentary rocks.
These processes are driven by the external heat engine
Therefore, it is confined to the surface.
Igneous and metamorphic rock's processes are confined to the subsurface.
