They are two types of metamorphic rocks which differ on the basis of formation and appearance.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Foliated metamorphic rocks are a type of metamorphic rocks which appear like layers which is caused due to heat exposure and pressure.
  • They are formed due to high pressures.
  • Examples are phyllite, slate, schist
  • Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have such a layered appearance.
  • They are formed due to low pressures and also because of contact metamorphism. This is why they are mostly called as hornfels.
  • Examples are hornfels, marble

A 50.6 g ball of copper has a net charge of 1.6 µc. what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed? (each copper atom
Fynjy0 [20]
First figure out how many atoms you have with Avogadro's number.  Since there are 63.5 grams/mol and you have 50.6 grams, you have (50.6/63.5)6.022E23=4.7986E23 atoms.  Since there are 29 protons per atom, there are also 29 electrons per atom, so you should have a total of
29*4.7986E23=1.3916E25 electrons.
Since there is a positive charge you know some of these electrons are missing.  How many are missing can be found by dividing the charge you have by the charge on the electron:  1.6E-6/1.6022E-19 = 9.98627E12 electrons are missing.  
Now take the ratio of what is missing to what there should be:
9.98627E12/1.3916E25 = 7.1760873E-13

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th
spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}

I =0.608 A

Applying Ohm's law

R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}

R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is 197.4\Omega

The area of a rectangular park is 4 mi^2. The park has a width that is equal to "w", and a length that is 3 mi longer than the w
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

l= 4 mi   : width of the park

w= 1 mi  : length of the park

Explanation:

Formula to find the area of ​​the rectangle:

A= w*l       Formula(1)

Where,

A is the area of the  rectangle in mi²

w is the  width of the rectangle in mi

l is the  width of the rectangle in mi

Known data

A =  4 mi²

l = (w+3)mi    Equation (1)

Problem development

We replace the data in the formula (1)

A= w*l  

4 = w* (w+3)

4= w²+3w

w²+3w-4= 0

We factor the equation:

We look for two numbers whose sum is 3 and whose multiplication is -4

(w-1)(w+4) = 0 Equation (2)

The values ​​of w for which the equation (2) is zero are:

w = 1 and w = -4

We take the positive value w = 1 because w is a dimension and cannot be negative.

w  = 1 mi  :width of the park

We replace w  = 1 mi  in the equation (1) to calculate the length of the park:

l=  (w+3) mi

l= ( 1+3) mi

l= 4 mi

What is the similarities between reforestation and afforestation​
Alla [95]

Answer:

Afforestation is the planting or adding of trees in an area where there was never a forest or plantation. This is a method to create a new forest. Reforestation is the replanting of trees in an area where there was once a forest which was destroyed or damaged.
