which unit of measure would scientist use to measure the thickness of rock layer, created as a result of volcanic activity

Physics

A scientist would use a unit of length appropriate for the magnitude of what he or she is measuring. In this case, since rock is built up very slowly, they would probably use millimetres or centimetres. In some cases they may use meters. 

There you go.

What might happen if water molecules did not have a slight negative charge on one end and a slight positive charge on the other?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

It would not be possible the cohesion among water molecules by the polar covalent bonding.

Well, to understand this in a better way, let's begin by explaining that water is special due to its properties, which makes this fluid useful for many purposes and for the existence of life.

In this sense, one of the main properties of water is cohesion (molecular cohesion), which is the attraction of molecules to others of the same type. So, water molecule (H_{2}O) has 2 hydrogen atoms attached to 1 oxygen atom and can  stick to itself through hydrogen bonds.

How is this possible?

By the polar covalent bonding, a process in which electrons are shared unequally between atoms, due to the unequal distribution of electrons between atoms of different elements. In other words: slightly positive and slightly negative charges appear in different parts of the molecule.  

Now, it can be said that a water molecule has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen).  This is how the oxygen atom tends to monopolize more electrons and keeps them away from hydrogen. Thanks to this polarity, water molecules can stick together.

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed?<br> (Need the answer ASAP!!)
eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Why can you see your own reflected image in a mirror but not on a dry, painted wall?
kaheart [24]
A wall uses diffuse reflection while a mirror uses specular reflection. For example, when parallel light rays enter a mirror, they remain parallel when exiting the mirror, allowing you to see a reflection of the light rays. On the contrary, when incident light rays enter a wall which is painted, the rays scatter, not allowing you to see anything but a painted wall.

The ultimate source of energy that powers the sun is
Daniel [21]

The ultimate source of energy that powers the sun is the Mass energy of hydrogen fusing into helium, there is no other process than the annihilation of mass to give energy that has been advocated by Albert Einstein and it is capable of keeping the sun alive.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Acceleration of the bags is 0.861 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the rock, m = 22.5 kg = mass of the food

Slope, Θ = 55.5°

Now, from the figure, we have

T - mgsinΘ = ma            ...................(1)

'a' is the acceleration of the mass

where T is the tension

also for the second mass, we have

mg - T = ma

now substituting the value of T from the equation (1) we get

mg - (ma + mgsinΘ) = ma

or

mg(1 - sinΘ) = (m + m)a

or

a = \frac{mg(1 - sin\theta)}{2m}

on substituting the values we get

a = \frac{9.8\times (1 - sin55.5^o)}{2}

or

a = 0.861 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the bags is 0.861 m/s²
