They are built through the process of what called as Orogenesis. Orogenesis is the process of the mountain making, upheaval or formation. It is also called Orogeny. Orogeny is the process which the mountains are formed. The process of mountain formation especially when it is faulting. The making of the mountains is also Orogenesis. An orogeny is an event which leads to mountain deformation due to some interaction between Earth Lithosphere and tectonic plates. When continental plates crumple and pushed forward to form one or more mountain ranges an orogen or orogenic belt develops, it involves many geological processes called orogenesis.

If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po
Ber [7]

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

When you step into a very full bath or hot tub, sometimes the water overflows. But when you step into a lake and swim, you don't
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

This all simply due to the size of the two water bodies question and the your body size in a bath tub the water is small enough to allow the upthrust displace water out if the tub whereas in a lake the water is bigger and your body size is smaller to allow any noticeable upthrust that would cause an overflow

A 23 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 130 m/s when, due to an internal exp
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) Vx = 1088m/s

b) Vy = -162.93m/s

c) 5246745J

Explanation:

Mass of unbroken body = 23kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Mass of first broken body, m1= 9.4kg

Its velocity along +ve X-axis = 130m/s

Nass of 2nd broken body, m2 = 6.1kg

Its velocity long-lived X - axis = -550m/s

Mass of 3rd broken body = ?

m3 = (23 - 9.4 - 6.1)kg

m3 = 7.5kg

Let velocity along the x-axis = Vx

Let the velocity along the x-axis = Vy

Applying law of conservation of momentum along x-axis

a) m1×0 + m2×(-550) + m3×(Vx) =M × 130

9.4 × 0 + 6.1× (-550) + 7.5(Vx) = 23 ×130

0 + (-5170) + 7.5Vx = 2990

2990 + 5170 = 7.5Vx

8160 = 7.5Vx

Vx = 8160/7.5

Vx = 1088m/s

b) Aplying conservation of momentum along the x-axis

(m1×130) + (m2 × 0) + (m3× Vy) = 0

(9.4 × 130) + (6.1 ×550) + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 + 0 + 7.5Vy = 0

1222 = -7.5Vy

Vy = 1222/(-7.5)

Vy = -262.93m/s

c) The energy released or change in KE is given by:

1/2[(m1v1^2) + (m2v2^2) +(m3Vx^2) ]= MV^2

Change in KE = 1/2[ 9.4× 130^2 + 6.1 × 550^2 + 7.5 × 1088^2 ] - 1/2(23 × 130^2)

Change in KE = 1/2[158860 + 1845250 + 8878080] - 1/2[388700]

Change in KE = 5441095 - 194350

Change in KE = 5246745J

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

0.130

Explanation:

From the given data, the coefficient of static friction for each trial are:

1. 0.053

2. 0.081

3. 0.118

4. 0.149

5. 0.180

6. 0.198

The sum of the coefficient of static friction = 0.053 + 0.081 + 0.118 + 0.149 + 0.180 + 0.198

                                              = 0.779

So that;

the average coefficient of static friction = \frac{sum of coefficient of static friction}{number of trials}

                                              = \frac{0.779}{6}

                                              = 0.12983

The average coefficient of static friction is 0.130
