Answer:

Explanation:

For sediment to become sedimentary rock, it has to undergo the following; burial, compaction, and cementation. And the process through which all these takes place is called cementation. The formation of sedimentary rock may take millions of years.

Answer:

A sediment has to undergo TRANSPORTATION, DEPOSITION, COMPACTION AND CEMENTATION in order for it to become a sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed when rocks undergo the process of weathering(breaking down) and the rock particles or sediments are transported by either water, air to particular area where they are deposited layers by layers in order form a sedimentary rock.

Sediments undergo the processes of Transportation, Deposition,Compaction and Cementation in order to form Sedimentary rocks.

a. Transportation: This is the process after weathering of the rocks, whereby the rock particles are transported or moved by either water, air or wind, ice to other places.

b. Deposition: This is the process whereby the transported sediments are laid down in the form of layers on land.

c. Compaction can be defined as the process in sedimentary rock formation where the sediments are compacted or squeezed together leading to a reduction in the pore spaces between the sediments due to the pressure accumulated by the weight of the layers and layers of sediments.

d. Cementation is a process in Sedimentary rock formation where the are attached together by the minerals contained in the water found in the pore spaces located in the sediments.

If the pressure of a substance is increased during a boiling process, will the temperature also increase, or will it remain cons

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

on increasing pressure, temperature will also increase.

Explanation:

Considering the ideal gas equation as:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Thus, at constant volume and number of moles, Pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

P ∝ T

Also,

Also, using Gay-Lussac's law,

$\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2}$

Thus, on increasing pressure, temperature will also increase.

Conservation of energy

ddd [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

It is the fundamental concept of physics.
It states that total amount of energy in a system remains constant in isolated system. This means energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed but can change from one form to another.
Energy can change from kinetic to potential energy, and back without reducing the total energy.

a 250 mH coil of negligible resistance is connected to an AC circuit in which as effective current of 5 mA is flowing. if the fr

mash [69]

Answer:

the inductive reactance of the coil is 1335.35 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

inductance of the coil, L = 250 mH = 0.25 H

effective current through the coil, I = 5 mA

frequency of the coil, f = 850 Hz

The inductive reactance of the coil is calculated as;

$X_l = \omega L = 2\pi f L\\\\X_l = 2\pi \times 850 \times 0.25\\\\X_l = 1335.35 \ ohms$

Therefore, the inductive reactance of the coil is 1335.35 Ω

A helicopter flies 25 km north, 5 km east, then 5 km S, then 15 km W. What is the resultant displacement and direction of the he

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Plotting the original location of the helicopter before it flies 25 km north, it would be at the origin, (0,0) then after it flies north, the y vertex gains 25 points, so it would be (0,25)

After it flies east, the x coordinate gains 5 points, so it would now be (5,25)

After it flies south, the y coordinate loses or is subtracted by 5 points. so it would now be (5,20)

After flying west, the x coordinate loses 15 points. So the final vertex would be at (-10,20)

East = Right

West = Left

South= Down

North = Up

I used mainly mathematical methods by adding and subtracting the x and y coordinate values, but this could be graphed easily since I gave the coordinates just incase!

Hope this helps!
