The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.

2. A rock is dropped off a bridge. How fast is the rock

zhenek [66]

Answer:

a) The velocity of rock at 1 second, v = 9.8 m/s

b) The velocity of rock at 3 second, v = 29.4 m/s

c) The velocity of rock at 5.5 second, v = 53.9 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The rock is dropped from a bridge.

The initial velocity of the rock, u = 0

a) The velocity of rock at 1 second,

Using the first equation of motion

v = u + gt

v = 0 + 9.8 x 1

v = 9.8 m/s

b) The velocity of rock at 3 second,

v = u + gt

v = 0 + 9.8 x 3

v = 29.4 m/s

c) The velocity of rock at 5.5 second,

v = u + gt

v = 0 + 9.8 x 5.5

v = 53.9 m/s

It is night. Someone who is 4 feet tall is walking away from a street light at a rate of 8 feet per second. The street light is

KiRa [710]

Answer: 4 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

height of man $=4 ft$

speed of person $v=8 ft/s$

height if street light $=12 ft$

Let x be the distance between person and street light and y be the length of his shadow

From diagram

as the two triangle ADE and ABC are similar therefore we can say that

$\frac{4}{12}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$\frac{1}{3}=\frac{y}{x+y}$

$x+y=3y$

$x=2y$

differentiate above Equation w.r.t time we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{8}{2}=4 ft/s$

When an object moves in a circular path, it accelerates toward the center of the circle as a result of ______.

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration

Explanation:

An object moving around a xirxular path maintains its route as a result of centripetal force. However, its acceleration is caused by centripetal acceleration. Despite centripetal acceleration not being among the choices, it is the right answer.

Centripetal acceleration helps an object that navigates around a circular path to accelerate while centripetal force enables the movement of an object around a circular path to move inwards. Momentum, given as one of the choices is product of mass and velocity while friction is the force opposing movement of an object around a surface.

Two aluminum soda cans are charged and repel each other, hanging motionless at an angle. which of the forces on the left can has

Sliva [168]

Assuming that the can is motionless, we can then assume that the vertical component of T = mg and that Fe = the horizontal component of T.
<span> Since T itself is larger than it's vertical or horizontal components separately, then T is greater than all the forces.</span>
