Answer: Option (D)

Explanation:

Unconformity refers to the surface that clearly demarcates the period of non-deposition. The rocks found below this are older and the rocks that are above this are the younger rocks. This unconformity is exposed to the surface due to the rapid erosion and slow accumulation of sediments.

The different types of unconformity are as follows-

  1. <u>Angular unconformity-</u> here, sedimentary rocks initially gets deposited, then it gets tilted due to tectonic activities and are eroded. Again new sedimentary rocks deposits forming an angle which is known as the angular unconformity.
  2. <u>Non-conformity-</u> here igneous rocks are intruded and undergoes erosion takes place. Then new sedimentary rocks are deposited and this of contact is known as the non-conformity.
  3. <u>Disconformity-</u> when some sequence of rocks are deposited, undergoes erosion and again new sequence of rocks gets deposited, which is known as disconformity.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

If an electronin an electron beam experiences a downward force of 2.0x10^-14N while traveling in a magnetic field of 8.3x10^-2T
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Force is downward I.e negative y-axis

F = -2 × 10^-14 •j N

Magnetic field is westward, +x direction

B = 8.3 × 10^-2 •i T

Charge of an electron

q = 1.6 × 10^-19C

Velocity and it direction?

Force in a magnetic field is given as

F = q(V×B)

Angle between V and B is 270, check attachment

The cross product of velocity and magnetic field

F =qVB•Sin270

2 × 10^-14 = 1.6 × 10^-19 × V × 8.3 × 10^-2

Then,

v = 2 × 10^-14 / (1.6 × 10^-19 × 8.3 × 10^-2)

v = 1.51 × 10^6 m/s

Direction of the force

Let x be the direction of v

-F•j = v•x × B•i

From cross product

We know that

i×j = k, j×i = -k

j×k =i, k×j = -i

k×i = j, i×k = -j OR -k×i = -j

Comparing -k×i = -j to given problem

We notice that

-F•j = q ( -V•k × B×i)

So, the direction of V is negative z- direction

V = -1.51 × 10^6 •k m/s

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.
