Which of these choices is the smallest matter

Five hundred million years ago, basaltic lava flowed in an area now known as Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson.

Explanation:

Igneous - metamorphic - sedimentary

A rock cycle provides the cyclic transformation of one rock type to another in nature.

There are three main types of rock involved in the rock cycle;

igneous rocks are derived from the cooling and solidification of molten magma
metamorphic rocks are changed rocks subjected to intense pressure and temperature
sedimentary rocks are derived from rock sediments that have been lithified.

The history of the rock in Monticello begins with igneous rock formation. Basalt is an igneous rock that forms from the cooling and solidification of molten magma. Under intense pressure and temperature regimes, they are changed to metamorphic rocks.

Agents of denudation such as wind, water and glacier weathers the rock and disintegrates it. They are then carried into basins where they are deposited. Here they form sedimentary rock.

The process still goes on as the sedimentary rock gets taken into depth, they can either melt to form igneous rock or be changed to metamorphic rocks.

vA 61.2-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 57.8 ° above the horizontal. The cannon uses

dsp73

Answer:

The effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

Explanation:

First, we can use kinematics to obtain the initial velocity of the performer. Since we know the angle at which he was launched, the horizontal distance and the time in which it's traveled, we can calculate the speed by:

$v_0_x=\frac{x}{t}\\ \\v_0\cos\theta=\frac{x}{t}\\\\v_0=\frac{x}{t\cos\theta}$

(This is correct because the horizontal motion has acceleration zero). Then:

$v_0=\frac{20.8m}{(2.60s)\cos57.8\°}\\\\v_0=15.0m/s$

Now, we can use energy to obtain the spring constant of the firing mechanism. By the conservation of mechanical energy, considering the instant in which the elastic band is at its maximum stretch as t=0, and the instant in which the performer flies free of the bands as final time, we have:

$E_0=E_f\\\\U_e=K\\\\\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\\implies k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}$

Then, plugging in the given values, we obtain:

$k=\frac{(61.2kg)(15.0m/s)^2}{(2.76m)^2}\\\\k=1808N/m$

Finally, the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism is 1808N/m.

A baseball is moving at a speed of 2.2m/s when it strikes the catchers glove. The paddding of the glove is compressed by 24mm be

Andre45 [30]

Average acceleration of the baseball: $-101 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Since the motion of the baseball is a uniformly accelerated motion, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement of the object

For the baseball in this problem, we have:

u = 2.2 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity (it comes to a stop)

s = 24 mm = 0.024 m is the displacement of the ball while decelerating

Therefore, we can solve for a to find the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{0-2.2^2}{2(0.024)}=-101 m/s^2$

where the negative sign means the baseball is slowing down.

The work done by an external force to move a -6.70 μc charge from point a to point b is 1.20×10−3 j .

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

108.7 V

Explanation:

Two forces are acting on the particle:

- The external force, whose work is $W=1.20 \cdot 10^{-3}J$

- The force of the electric field, whose work is equal to the change in electric potential energy of the charge: $W_e=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

The variation of kinetic energy of the charge is equal to the sum of the work done by the two forces:

$K_f - K_i = W + W_e = W+q\Delta V$

and since the charge starts from rest, $K_i = 0$ , so the formula becomes

$K_f = W+q\Delta V$

In this problem, we have

$W=1.20 \cdot 10^{-3}J$ is the work done by the external force

$q=-6.70 \mu C=-6.7\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is the charge

$K_f = 4.72\cdot 10^{-4}J$ is the final kinetic energy

Solving the formula for $\Delta V$ , we find

$\Delta V=\frac{K_f-W}{q}=\frac{4.72\cdot 10^{-4}J-1.2\cdot 10^{-3} J}{-6.7\cdot 10^{-6}C}=108.7 V$

What is the total entropy change if a 0.280 efficiency engine takes 3.78E3 J of heat from a 3.50E2 degC reservoir and exhausts i

babymother [125]

Answer:

$\Delta S=1.69J/K$

Explanation:

We know,

$\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=1-\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}$ ..............(1)

where,

η = Efficiency of the engine

T₁ = Initial Temperature

T₂ = Final Temperature

Q₁ = Heat available initially

Q₂ = Heat after reaching the temperature T₂

Given:

η =0.280

T₁ = 3.50×10² °C = 350°C = 350+273 = 623K

Q₁ = 3.78 × 10³ J

Substituting the values in the equation (1) we get

$0.28=1-\frac{Q_2}{3.78\times 10^{3}}$

or

$\frac{Q_2}{3.78\times 10^3}=0.72$

or

$Q_2=3.78\times 10^3\times0.72$

⇒ $Q_2 =2.721\times 10^3 J$

Now,

The entropy change ( $\Delta S$ ) is given as:

$\Delta S=\frac{\Delta Q}{T_1}$

or

$\Delta S=\frac{Q_1-Q_2}{T_1}$

substituting the values in the above equation we get

$\Delta S=\frac{3.78\times 10^{3}-2.721\times 10^3 J}{623K}$

$\Delta S=1.69J/K$
