Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Rock salt is commonly known as the halite whose chemical formula is NaCl and gypsums are also soft minerals, forming large colored crystals and are commonly found to be present in association with the rock salt and sulfur deposits. They are also comprised of impurities such as sylvite and sometimes potassium is also found to be present in the form of a mineral. They are formed due to the evaporation of salt water that is mainly made up of dissolved ions namely Na+ and Cl-. They are found mainly in the shallow marginal seas, bays, and estuaries and in the dry lake beds.

Thus, the most likely place for the rock salt and gypsum to occur is the shallow sea.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

larisa [96]

Answer:

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity

m = Mass = 10 kg

Weight on Earth

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=10\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow W=98.1\ N$

Converting to lbf

$98.1\times 0.22481=22.053861\ lbf$

On Moon

$W=10\times 1.624\\\Rightarrow W=16.24\ N$

Converting to lbf

$16.24\times 0.22481=3.6509144\ lbf$

In SI units 98.1 N, 16.24 N

English units 22.053861 lbf, 3.6509144 lbf

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp

Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that

Mass of ball, $m_1=$ 75 g= $\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg$

1 kg=1000 g

Height, $h_1=1.6 m$

$h_2=0.6 m$

Horizontal velocity, $v_x=2 m/s$

Mass of plate $m_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg$

a.Initial velocity of plate, $u_2=0$

Velocity before impact= $u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Velocity after impact, $v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s$

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Substitute the values

$0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2$

$0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4$

$v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s$

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2$

Final energy= $\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J$

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.
