When melting of a metamorphic rock occurs, it changes into what?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The upper limit of metamorphism occurs at the pressure and temperature of wet partial melting of the rock in question. Once melting begins, the process changes to an igneous process rather than a metamorphic process. During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.

What mass of water will fill a tank that is 100.0 cm long, 50.0 cm wide, and 30.0 cm high? Express the answer in grams.

Bond [772]

$calculate\ mass\ from\ formula\ for\ density:\\\\
density=volume*mass\\
mass=\frac{density}{volume}\\\\
volume=width*length*height\\
volume=100*50*30=150000cm^3=0,15m^3\\\\
density\ of\ water=\ 999.9720 \frac{kg}{m^3} \\\\mass=0,15*999.9720=149,9958kg=149995,8grams\\\\ Answer\ is\ :\\water\ which\ weight\ is\ equal\ to\ 149995,8grams.

The moon has a diameter of 3.48 x 106 m and is a distance of 3.85 x 108 m from the earth. The sun has a diameter of 1.39 x 109 m

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.00903 rad

0.00926 rad

6.268\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

s = Diameter of the object

r = Distance between the Earth and the object

Angle subtended is given by

$\theta=\frac{s}{r}$

For the Moon

$\theta_m=\dfrac{3.48\times 10^6}{3.85\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \theta_m=0.00903\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Moon is 0.00903 rad

For the Sun

$\theta_s=\dfrac{1.39\times 10^9}{1.5\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_s=0.00926\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Sun is 0.00926 rad

Area ratio is given by

$\frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r_m^2}{\pi r_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{d_m^2}{d_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{(3.48\times 10^{6})^2}{(1.39\times 10^9)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=6.268\times 10^{-6}$

The area ratio is $6.268\times 10^{-6}$

On the way to school, the bus speeds up from 20 m/s to 36 m/s in 4 seconds. What distance

Tresset [83]

Answer B. 112 m

Step-by-Step Explanation

initial velocity u = 20 m /s
final velocity v = 36 m /s
time taken t = 4 s
acceleration = (v - U) / t
= (36 - 20) / 4
a=4m/s2
from the formula
7-u2=2as , sis distance covered
putting the values
362-202=2×4×s
1296 - 400 = 8 x S
S= 112 m
