A block of mass 500g is pulled from rest on ahorizontal frictionless bench by a steady force F and travels 8m in 2s find the acc

Korvikt [17]

We are Given:

Mass of the block (m) = 500 grams or 0.5 Kg

Initial velocity of the block (u) = 0 m/s

Distance travelled by the block (s) = 8 m

Time taken to cover 8 m (t)= 2 seconds

Acceleration of the block (a) = a m/s²

Solving for the acceleration:

From the seconds equation of motion:

s = ut + 1/2* (at²)

replacing the variables

8 = (0)(2) + 1/2(a)(2)²

8 = 2a

a = 4 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the block is 4 m/s²

In the nuclear fission process mass is converted into energy. Determine the total mass that must be converted to energy in one y

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) Mass that needs to be converted at 100% efficiency is 0.3504 kg

2) Mass that needs to be converted at 30% efficiency is 1.168 kg

Explanation:

By the principle of mass energy equivalence we have

$E=mc^{2}$

where,

'E' is the energy produced

'm' is the mass consumed

'c' is the velocity of light in free space

Now the energy produced by the reactor in 1 year equals

$Energy=Power\times time\\\\\therefore Energy=1\times 10^{9}\times 365\times 24\times 3600\\\\Energy=31.536\times 10^{15}Joules$

Thus the mass that is covertred at 100% efficiency is

$mass=\frac{Energy}{c^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}\\\\mass=\frac{31.536\times 10^{15}}{9\times 10^{16}}\\\\\therefore mass=0.3504kg$

Part 2)

At 30% efficiency the mass converted equals

$mass|_{30}=\frac{mass|_{100}}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=\frac{0.3504}{0.3}\\\\mass|_{30}=1.168kg$

Match the lithification processes.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

ReCrystallization

Contact pressure causing grains to "grow" together.

It's a metamorphic process used to rearrange the atoms of the minerals in order to modify them in to the required form under the specific temperature and pressure. For example conversion of limestone into marble.

Cementation:

Precipitation of bonding agents between grains.

Cementation is the process in which the minerals in the form of fluid fills in spaces between the grains and binds them together upon crystallizing.

Compaction:

Increase in density due to weight of overburden.

Compaction as it's name indicate is the compaction of the sediments due to the heavy weight of the rocks which reduce their size and increase their density.
