The buoyant force on any object acts in the direction opposite to the force of gravity. <em>(A)</em>
The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.
Question 2 is because the passengers have inertia, which is a tendency to resist change in motion
Answer: Work Done would remain same.
Let us assume that the velocity is constant while taking the load up the inclined plane. Then, the kinetic energy would remain the same. This is because kinetic energy is dependent on velocity
. If that is constant, the kinetic energy would remain same. The potential energy is dependent on the height
. If the height is changed, then potential energy varies. In the question, it is mentioned that without changing the height, the length of the inclined plane is changed. Therefore, the potential energy would be same as before.
We know, work done is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy. Since there is no change in any of these, the required work done would not change.
That's true.
And I'll go ya a better one:
If the object is moving or not moving, at a constant or changing speed, in a straight or curvy line, and the forces on it do not cancel out and add up to zero, the object will accelerate.
