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).

A ski jumper has a mass of 59.6 kg. She is moving with a speed of 23.4 m/s at a height of 44.6 meters above the ground. Determin

Hello!

Use the formula:

M = k * p

Data:

M = Mechanic energy

k = Kinetic energy

p = Potencial energy

Descomposing:

M = (0,5*mv²) + (mgh)

Replacing:

M = (0,5 * 59,6 kg * (23,4 m/s)²) + (59,6 kg * 9,81 m/s² * 44,6 m)

M = 16317,28 J + 26076,54 J

M = 42393,82 J

The mechanic energy is <u>42393,82 Joules.</u>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m

Explanation:

The alpha particle will be deflected when its kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy

Charge of the alpha particle q₁= 2 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C = 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

Charge of the gold nucleus q₂= 79 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C

Kinetic energy of  the alpha particle = 5.28 × 10⁶ × 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ J ( 1 eV)

=  8.459 × 10⁻¹³

k electrostatic force constant = 9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c²

Kinetic energy = potential energy =   k q₁q₂ / r where r is the closest distance the alpha particle got to the gold nucleus

r = (  9 × 10⁹ N.m²/c² × 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 1.264 × 10⁻¹⁷C) / 8.459 × 10⁻¹³

= 4.3 × 10 ⁻¹⁴ m
