Answer:

metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks can be changed into metamorphic rocks when heat and pressure are applied to the rock.

Pressure and heat in the presence of a fluid phase cause metamorphic transformation of a prolith.

At the right temperature and pressure, an igneous rock will not form magma but will undergo mineralogical changes to form metamorphic rocks.
These changed rocks have different mineral facies that are different from those of the prolith.

Through heat and pressure, igneous rocks can be transformed into metamorphic rocks.

It takes 23 seconds to hoist a rescue diver of mass 80 kg from the ocean surface to a helicopter hovering 23.9 meters above the

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

840 W

Explanation:

The energy expended in hoisting the diver up is given by

$E = mgh$

m is the mass of the diver, g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Using the values in the question and taking g as 9.8 m/s²,

$E = (80\text{ kg})\times (9.8\text{ m/s}^2)\times (23.9\text{ m}) = 18737.6\text{ J}$

The power is given by

$P = \dfrac{E}{t}$

t is the time.

Hence,

$P = \dfrac{18737.6\text{ J}}{23\text{ s}} = 841.678\ldots \text{ W}\approx 840\text{ W}$
