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 61 kg skater is traveling at 2.5 m/s while carrying a 4.0 kg bowling ball. After he throws the bowling ball forward at twice t

gregori [183]

The final velocity of the skater is 2.34 m/s forward

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system before and after the ball is thrown must be conserved, in absence of external forces.

Before the ball is thrown, the total momentum is:

$p_i = (M+m)u$

where

M = 61 kg is the mass of the skater

m = 4.0 kg is the mass of the ball

u = 2.5 m/s (forward) is the combined velocity of the skater and the ball

After, the ball is thrown at twice the velocity, so the final total momentum is

$p_f = MV+mv$

where

V is the final velocity of the skater

v = 2(2.5) = 5.0 is the final velocity of the ball

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we can write

$p_i = p_f\\(M+m)u = MV+mv\\V=\frac{(M+m)u-mv}{M}=\frac{(61+4.0)(2.5)-(4.0)(5.0)}{61}=2.34 m/s$

So, the skater is moving at 2.34 m/s (forward) after the shot.

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time $T$ of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance $R$ and the capacity $C$ of the capacitor.

As shown below:

$T=R.C$

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.

An object has a kinetic energy of 175 J and a momentum of magnitude 25.0 kg m/s. Find the

DedPeter [7]

Answer:14 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy(ke)=175J

Momentum(M)=25kgm/s

Speed=v

Mass=m

Ke=(m x v x v)/2

175=(mv^2)/2

Cross multiply

175 x 2=mv^2

350=mv^2

Momentum=mass x velocity

25=mv

m=25/v

Substitute m=25/v in 350=mv^2

350=25/v x v^2

350=25v^2/v

v^2/v=v

350=25v

v=350/25

v=14 m/s

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that

3241004551 [841]

Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull
