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.

NeTakaya

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In a certain underdamped RLC circuit, the voltage across the capacitor decreases in one cycle from 5.0 V to 3.8 V. The period of the oscillations is 1.2 microseconds (1.2*10^-6). What is Q?

Solution :

The underdamped RLC circuit

$v_{t} = ve^{-\frac{R}{2L}t} \cos \omega t$

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}-\frac{R^2}{4L^2}}= \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

We know in one time period, v = 2v, at t = T, $v_t = 3.8 v$

so, $9.8 = 5 e^{-\frac{R}{2L}T} \cos \frac{2 \pi}{T}T$

$e^{-\frac{R}{2L}T} = \frac{3.8}{5} \times 1$

$\frac{R}{2L}T= \ln \frac{5}{3.8}$

$\frac{R}{L}= \frac{2}{1.2 \times 10^{-6}} \ln \frac{5}{3.8}$

$\frac{R}{L} = 457.3 \times 10^3$

Now, Q value $= \frac{1}{R}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}$

$=\sqrt{\frac{L}{R^2C}\times \frac{L}{L}}$

$=\sqrt{(\frac{L}{R})^2 \times \frac{1}{LC}}$

$\frac{1}{LC}=27.43 \times 10^{12}$

∴ $Q=\sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{457.3 \times 10^3}\right)^2 \times 27.43 \times 10^{12}}$

$Q=\sqrt{131.166}$

= 11.45

Anna and Jon sit on a seesaw. Anna has a mass of 60 kg and sits 2 m from the center. Jon has a mass of 70 kg. How far from the c

Ronch [10]

Answer:

dJ = 1.7 m

Explanation:

The Equation of the Balancing the moments in the center of the seesaw is like this:

∑Mo = 0

Mo = F*d

Where:

∑Mo : Algebraic sum of moments in the center(o) of the balance

Mo : moment in the o point ( N*m)

F : Force ( N)

d : distancia of the force to the the o point ( N*m)

Data

mA = 60 kg : mass of the Anna

mJ = 70 kg : mass of theJon

dA = 2 m : Distance from Anna to the center of the seesaw

g: acceleration due to gravity

Calculation of the distance from Jon to the center of the seesaw (dJ)

∑Mo = 0 WA : Ana's weight , WJ : Jon's weight

W = m*g

(WA)(dA) - (WJ) (dJ) = 0

(mA*g)(dA) - (mJ*g)(dJ) = 0

We divide by g the equation:

(mA)(dA) - (mJ)(dJ)= 0

(mA)(dA) = (mJ)(dJ)

$d_{J} = \frac{m_{A} *d_{A}}{m_{J}}$

$d_{J} = \frac{60 kg *2 m}{70 kg}$

dJ = 1.7 m

It feels better to catch a hard ball while wearing a padded glove than to catch it bare handed. use the ideas of momentum and im

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Let's say the pitcher is angry or just has a really heavy hand while throwing this ball, and now you have to catch it, otherwise it's going to ram into your face. When you put your hands up just in time to catch this ball, this is called impulse, or commonly expressed as a reflex. Depending on what kind of ball is being thrown, such as a golf ball, baseball, basketball, beach-ball, rubber-ball, baseball, etc. ... the weight of the ball itself is going to impact how much it i going to hurt when you catch it without any hand protection. However, if you're catching, let's say a baseball, with a padded glove, it is not going to hurt as bad as catching the baseball bare handed, because the padded glove has enough padding in it to create a barrier between the skin of your hand and the palm of the glove.
