I believe that the answer to this would be option C. Since sandstones are not commonly seen among river beds, the condition that would make us easier to understand as to what happened to this is how fast the river was flowing. Due to the pressure of the river, this brought other sediments with it most especially sandstones.

Answer:

thermoset

Explanation:

A thermoset material is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing. Curing is induced by heat and cannot be undone because the polymers cross link during the process, creating permanent chemical bonds.

When light falls on objects, it interacts with them in different ways as shown in the images. What type of interaction is seen i
agasfer [191]

Answers with explanation

1)

Transmission

If all the light passes through a medium without any absorption then transmittance is 100%.

2)

Refraction

Refraction is the bending of a wave when it enters a medium where its speed is different and rays are again refracted when they leave that medium,

3)

Reflection

Reflected rays don't pass through the medium instead rays bounces off an object at an angle.

A 0.01-kg object is initially sliding at 9.0 m/s. It goes up a ramp (increasing its elevation by 1.5 m), and then moves horizont
barxatty [35]

Answer:

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s calculate the energy of the object in each phase of the motion.

At first, the object has only kinetic energy (KE):

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.01 kg · (9 m/s)²

KE = 0.405 J

When the object goes up the ramp, it gains some gravitational potential energy (PE). Due to the conservation of energy, the object must convert some of its kinetic energy to obtain potential energy. By calculating the potential energy that the object acquires, we can know the loss of kinetic energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

h = height.

PE = 0.01 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.5 m

PE = 0.147 J

The object "gives up" 0.147 J of kinetic energy to be converted into potential energy.

Then, after going up the ramp, the kinetic energy of the object will be:

0.405 J - 0.147 J = 0.258 J

When the object reaches the spring, kinetic energy is used to compress the spring and the object obtains elastic potential energy (EPE). Let´s calculate the EPE obtained by the object:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compression of the spring

EPE = 1/2 · 100 N/m · (0.05 m)² = 0.125 J

Then, only 0.125 J of kinetic energy was converted into elastic potential energy. The object is at rest at the end of the motion, i.e., the object does not have kinetic energy when it compresses the spring by 5.0 cm. Since energy can´t be lost, the rest of the kinetic energy, that was not used to compress the spring, had to be converted into heat energy:

Heat energy = initial kinetic energy - obtained elastic potential energy

Heat energy = 0.258 J - 0.125 J = 0.133 J

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created.

The Drude model uses Newton’s laws, which say that an electron in a constant electric field should experience constant accelerat
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Electrons are influenced by internal forces.

-On the temperature, density of electrons per unit of volume and relaxation time.

-The temperature

Explanation:

The Drude model neglects interactions between electrons and ions and with themselves. Those interactions (by which we refer as electromagnetic forces) influence in the random movement and freedom of the electron. So, they could be more restricted or could influence in conductivity more.

The deduction of the resistivity comes from the Ohm's law, which states that the Electric field in the material is proportional to the current density of electrons by a constant, which is the resistivity itself. The equation goes as follows:

\rho=\frac{m_e}{e^2n_e \tau }

Where e refers to electron (or the charge of it), τ is the relaxation time (average time between collisions), m is the mass and n is the density of charges (electrons in this case) per volume. However, experimentally resistivity is also dependent on temperature, which actually influence the relaxation time. The thermal energy influence in the behavior of the electrons, making them collide with phonons, have more randomness and reduced mean free path.
