Answer:

The coconut hit the ground after 1.28 s

Explanation:

Velocity: This can be defined as the rate of change of displacement. Or it is defined as speed in a specified direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. The S.I unit of velocity is m/s.

Using the equation of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt²....................................... Equation 1

Where S = distance, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity

<em>Given: s= 8 m, u = 0 m/s ( because it was drop from a height), </em>

<em>Constant :   g = +9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1,</em>

<em>8 = 0×t + 1/2(9.8×t²)</em>

<em>8 = 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 8/4.9</em>

<em>t = √1.63</em>

<em>t = 1.276 s</em>

t = 1.28 s

Therefore the coconut hit the ground after 1.28 s

A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω

Match the lithification processes.
butalik [34]

Explanation:

Recrystallization: contact pressure causing grains to "fuse" together

Cementation : precipitation of bonding agents between grains

Compaction : increase in density due to weight of overburden

Lithification is the process by which sediments are converted into sedimentary rocks. During this process, recrystallication, compaction and cementation of mineral grains occur.

The process starts with the compaction of sediments. The over burden weight of new sediments in the basin adds to the one originally deposited. This compresses the sediment. The volume of reduced and the density increases.

Recrystallization follows suit as the contact pressure of grains makes them fuse together. It is more like reworking of sediments. In this process, cementing materials can precipitate and cause sediments to be more fused together.

This is why most sediment are made up of clasts in a matrix of cementing materials.
