How are metamorphic rocks like igneous rocks? How are they like sedimentary rocks?

Physics
1 answer:
pochemuha3 years ago
6 0

Sedimentary rocks become metamorphic in the rock cycle when they are subjected to heat and pressure from burial. The high temperatures are produced when the Earth's tectonic plates move around, producing heat. And when they collide, they build mountains and metamorphose.

Igneous rocks form as magma cools below ground or lava cools on the surface. Sedimentary rocks are made from the eroded particles of other rocks or from mineral deposits left when water evaporates. Metamorphic rocks form when any existing rock undergoes intense and prolonged exposure to heat and pressure.

Which change occurs when an atom undergoes alpha decay?
oee [108]
In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.

This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.

What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody? According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an objec
jasenka [17]

Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

E = \sigma T^{4}  (1)

Where \sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}   (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}  (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}   (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), \lambda max (450 nm) will be express in meters:

450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 4.5x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}

T = 6440 K

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}  ⇒ 7x10^{-7}m

T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}

T = 4140 K

Comparison:

\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Total mass=100+10=110

Total weight=mass×gravitational field strength

=110×10

=1100N

Work done=force×distance

=1100×10

=11000J

how fast is a ball going when it hits the ground after being dropped from a height of 16m the acceleration of gravity is 9.8
Aneli [31]

Answer:

17.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 0 m

y = 16 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (16 m − 0 m)

v = 17.7 m/s

The ball is moving at a speed of 17.7 m/s when it hits the ground.
