Answer:

The first step in turning a rock into a sediment is Compaction .

Explanation:

Lithification is a process of changing rock into sediments. There are two steps for a rock to lithify. These steps are as follows

  • The first step of lithification is compaction where sediments are erosed together by weight of the it. Thus, the upper layers of sediments causes compaction of lower layers.
  • The next process of lithification is cementation. In this fluids fill the space between the loose particles.

Hence, the first step for turning rock into sediments is compaction.

the specific heat of gold is 0.031 calories degrees Celsius and the specific heat of silver is 0.057 calories degrees Celsius so
givi [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Specific heat of gold  = 0.031cal/°C

Specific heat of silver  = 0.057cal/°C

To know the metals that will heat up faster, we must understand the meaning of specific heat capacity.

It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1°C.

Now,

The higher the specific heat capacity the more energy it is required to heat up the substance.

So, Gold with a specific heat capacity of 0.031cal/°C  will heat up faster.

A small bolt with a mass of 33.0 g sits on top of a piston. The piston is undergoing simple harmonic motion in the vertical dire
densk [106]

Answer:

0.027m

Explanation:

the bolt loses contact with the piston only when acceleration due to gravity equals acceleration of piston

ω² * A = g where ω is angular velocity, A amplitude, g acceleration due to gravity

ω is given by 2πf, ω² is 4π²f²

A= g/4π²f² depending on the value of g used either 10m/s² or 9.8m/s²,

i used 10m/s² in this answer
