What is the difference between cementation and compaction?

Physics

Compaction is when sediments are buried deeply, which causes pressure because of the weight of the layers above them.  This squashes the grains together more tightly.  Cementation is where new minerals stick the grains together

A 34-kg child runs with a speed of 2.8 m/s tangential to the rim of a stationary merrygo-round. The merry-go-round has a momentu
tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.43\ rad/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of child m=34\ kg

speed of child is v=2.8\ m/s

Moment of inertia of merry go round is I=510\ kg.m^2

radius r=2.31\ m

Conserving the angular momentum

\Rightarrow mvr=I\omega \\\Rightarrow 34\times 2.8\times 2.31=510\times \omega\\\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{219.912}{510}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.43\ rad/s

Dovator [93]
According to newton's third law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so yes the ground does move backwards. You have 4 forces acting on you at any given time: pushing force, friction force, gravity, and normal force. you push against something to propel forward, you have to overcome gravity and friction, and normal force keeps things upright to prevent them from falling into each other. 

<span>If everything is motionless at every instant, and time is entirely composed of instants, then motion is impossible, so it must be an illusion.

If the temperature at the surface of Earth (at sea level) is 100°F, what is the temperature at 2000 feet if the average lapse ra
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

107 °F

Explanation:

Given that

The temperature at sea level = 100°F

height ,h= 2000 feet

The average lapse rate = 3.5°F/1000 feet

Given that rise in temperature 3.5°F per 1000 feet.

1000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F

Given that 2000 feet

2000 feet ⇒ 3.5°F x 2 +100°F

2000 feet ⇒ 107 °F

Therefore the temperature will be 107 °F  .
