Answer:

1- Extrusive igneous rock

2- Intrusive igneous rock

3- Organic sedimentary rocks

4- Clastic sedimentary rocks

5- Chemical sedimentary rock

6- Metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Extrusive igneous rock- This are the igneous rocks that are formed when magma ejects out to the surface and quickly solidifies. Since they comes out to the surface, so they are considered to be extrusive igneous rocks. This type of rocks are comprised of smaller crystals due to the faster rate of cooling. For example, basalt.

Intrusive igneous rock- This are the type of igneous rocks that are formed due to the crystallization of magma at a certain depth. This rocks are made up of coarser crystals due to the slow rate of cooling. For example, granite.

Organic sedimentary rocks- This are the type of sedimentary rocks that are comprised of fossil or organic compound. These fossils are trapped about millions of years back. This type of rocks containing fossils are important for determining the past environment, climate and food habitat of these fossil organisms. For example Limestone.

Clastic sedimentary rocks- This are the sedimentary rocks that are formed from the compaction and lithification of loose sediments or broken rock materials. For example, sandstone.

Chemical sedimentary rock- This are the type of sedimentary rocks that are formed from the minerals (crystals). This minerals are made up of the elements that undergoes dissolution in water. For example, oolitic limestone.

Metamorphic rock- This are the secondary rock, either derived from the igneous, sedimentary or other metamorphic rock. These rocks are formed due to the extreme pressure, temperature condition. They are also known as the secondary rocks. For example, Quartzite.

A. Made of the marble.

the mass remains constant when you drop the marble but the rest of the variables change as the marble is dropped, therefore, the only constant variable is its mass.

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet
zvonat [6]
Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.

Which of the objects below has the greatest acceleration? *
lesya692 [45]

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow F=ma

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Now

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto\dfrac{1}{m}

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto F

  • Lower mass=Higher acceleration
  • Lower Force=Lower Acceleration

Option B has lowest mass and highest force hence its correct
