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.

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Answer is It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

Refer below.

Explanation:

The X-ray source Cygnus X-1 has a mass of at least 11 solar masses and a diameter of only about one-quarter the diameter of the Earth. With such a small diameter it must be a compact object, and with such a large mass it can't be a white dwarf or a neutron star, so a black hole is the only possibility remaining. The diameter of Cygnus X-1 found:

It was deduced from the rate at which it glimmers.

An insulating cup contains 200 grams of water at 25 ∘C. Some ice cubes at 0 ∘C is placed in the water. The system comes to equil

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The amount of ice added in gram is 32.77g

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the heat capacity of materials

Given data

Mass of water Mw= 200g

Temperature of water θw= 25°c

Temperature of ice θice= 0°c

Equilibrium Temperature θe= 12°c

Mass of ice Mi=???

The specific heat of ice Ci= 2090 J/(kg ∘C)

specific heat of water Cw = 4186 J/(kg ∘C)

latent heat of the ice to water transition Li= 3.33 x10^5 J/kg

heat heat loss by water = heat gained by ice

N/B let us understand something, heat gained by ice is in two phases

Heat require to melt ice at 0°C to water at 0°C

And the heat required to take water from 0°C to equilibrium temperature

Hence

MwCwΔθ=MiLi +MiCiΔθ

Substituting our data we have

200*4186*(25-12)=Mi*3.3x10^5+

Mi*2090(12-0)

837200*13=Mi*3.3x10^5+Mi*2090

10883600=332090Mi

Mi=10883600/332090

Mi= 32.77g

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.

Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }$

Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes. By plugging those values in we get:

$A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g$

There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.

What happens in the process of gravitational condensation?

Lerok [7]

Answer:

An object decreases in size due to the collision of materials. An object increases in size due to the addition of materials. Gas particles are formed from solar nebula materials.
