Sediments are pieces of rock that come from other rocks that were eroded or broken by wind, water or other mechanical forces. Debris are pieces of other materials that were also swept away.
When these sediments and debris settle, they create layers. These layers are called beds. In time, several layers of other sediments and debris form on top of each other which press down onto the previous layers. Because of the pressure from the weight of the newer layers, the sediments and debris are pressed together and go through cementation. These then produce sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks undergo heat and pressure. The heat comes from the friction resulting from the pressure. The heat can also come from radioactive decay. The rocks then slowly bake into new rocks called metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks form when magma and lava cool down. Magma is molten fluid found beneath the surface of the Earth. Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the Earth. When they cool down, they crystallize which make igneous rocks.
The difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks is that one is made beneath the Earth and the other is made on the surface of the Earth. When magma cools, it takes a long time and the product of this cooling are intrusive igneous rocks. On the other hand, extrusive igneous rock is the result of lava cooling, which does not take as long to cool down because it occurs on the surface of the Earth.
Examples of the following types of rocks:
Sedimentary: limestone, sandstone, siltstone
Metamorphic: Marble, gneiss, slate
Igneous: Gabbro (intrusive), granite (Intrusive), obsidian (extrusive)
The artic tundra can be found in D. All of the above.
Power P is the amount of energy E transferred or converted per unit time t, and is expression is:
P = E/t
The necessary energy to lift the box its the work of against the Gravity Force, and is given by:
E = mgh
Then the power is:
P = E/t
P = mgh/t
P = (45 kg)(9.8 m/s²)(1.7 m )/ 30
P = 24.99 W
<h2>P ≈ 25 W</h2>
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Slit Diffraction.
The expression for separation between fringes is given by,
Where,
Wavelength
d = Separation between fringes
a = Slit width
D = Distance between the slits
Re-arrange to find 
, we have that
Replacing with our values we have
Therefore the wavelength of the laser you used to collect the data is 743.14nm
Answer:
137.34 J
Explanation:
Info given:
mass1 = 2kg
height1 = 3m
mass2 = 4kg
height2 = 5m
g = 9.81m/s^2
PE = mgh
plug in info we have:
for first mass:
mgh = (2kg)(9.81m/s^2)(3m) = 58.86 J
for second mass:
mgh = (4kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5m) = 196.2 J
Difference: 196.2 J - 58.86 J = 137.34 J
