What is the difference between cementation and compaction?

1 answer:

3 0

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

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

current by toaster is

I = $\frac{1140}{120}$

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = $\frac{270}{120}$

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = $\frac{80}{120}$

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

when a metal sphere is dropped in to a tall cylinder containing liquid its acceleration is g÷2 (gravity over 2) show that : dens

Mamont248 [21]

The density of the metal is twice the density of liquid since acceleration, a is half of accelerating due to gravity, g.

<h3>What is the relationship between acceleration and density?</h3>

For a solid falling through a viscous fluid, the acceleration of the object decreases until it attains terminal velocity.

The acceleration of the body increases with increase in density of the solid.

When density of solid = density of liquid, acceleration a = g

When density of solid = 2 × density of the liquid, acceleration a = g/2.

Therefore, the density of the metal is twice the density of liquid since acceleration, a is half of accelerating due to gravity, g.

The body weighing 2 kg moves through the horizontal surface and crosses the path x = 75 cm The coefficient of friction of the bo

Taya2010 [7]

The kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

Explanation:

As per the work energy theorem, the work done on any system or object to move it from one position to another is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. In this case, the body weighing 2 kg is moved over an horizontal surface for a distance of 75 cm. As there will be frictional force acting on the body while moving over the surface. This frictional force multiplied by the distance the object is moved will give the work done on the body.

Frictional force = Coeffficent of friction × Normal force.

As the weight of the body is 2 kg, the normal force acting on it will be mass multiplied with acceleration due to gravity.

Frictional force = - 0.8×9.8 × 2 =-15.68 N

So the work done will be the product of frictional force with the displacement of 75 cm or 0.75 m.

Work done = Frictional force × Displacement

Work done = -15.68×0.75 = -11.76 J.

So the work is done by the object.

If the kinetic energy of the body at starting is 16 J, then the kinetic energy of the body at definitive position will be obtained as below.

Work done = change in kinetic energy

-11.76 J = Final kinetic energy-16 J

Final Kinetic energy = - 11.76+16

Final kinetic energy = 4.24 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of the body in definitive position is 4.24 J.

What are used by organisms for long-term energy storage

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Fatty acids.

Explanation:

-Long term energy storage is stored in the form of triglycerides .

-They are efficient storing molecules. They are more efficient thatn glycogen(cabohydrates).

-Fatty acids are more calori dense hence them being ideal for long term energy storage.
