Answer:

Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.

Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.

Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.

<u>how they are formed in nature:</u>

In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.

In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss

Section 1: Experimental Overview
Luden [163]

Answer:

1-state what the lab is about, that is, what scientific concept (theory, principle, procedure, etc.) you are supposed to be learning about by doing the lab. You should do this briefly, in a sentence or two. If you are having trouble writing the opening sentence of the report, you can try something like: "This laboratory experiment focuses on X…"; "This lab is designed to help students learn about, observe, or investigate, X…." Or begin with a definition of the scientific concept: "X is a theory that…."

2-give the necessary background for the scientific concept by telling what you know about it (the main references you can use are the lab manual, the textbook, lecture notes, and other sources recommended by the lab manual or lab instructor; in more advanced labs you may also be expected to cite the findings of previous scientific studies related to the lab). In relatively simple labs you can do this in a paragraph following the initial statement of the learning context. But in more complex labs, the background may require more paragraphs.

Which variety of moth, C or Y, is more likely to be killed by insect eating birds?
Svetlanka [38]
Moth X is more likely to be eaten by insect killing birds first. This is because Moth Y blends in with the tree trunk more and is hidden from birds. Its wings camouflage with the tree trunk, hiding it from sight.

The Millersburg Ferry (m = 13000.0 kg loaded) is travelling at 11 m/s when the engines are put in reverse. The engineproduces a
Pie

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Millersburg Ferry, m = 13000 kg

Velocity, v = 11 m/s

Applied force, F = 10⁶ N

Time period, t = 20 seconds

(a) Impulse is given by the product of force and time taken i.e.

J=F.\Delta t

J=10^6\ N\times 20\ s

J=2\times 10^7\ N-s

(b) Impulse is also given by the change in momentum i.e.

J=\Delta p=p_f-p_i

J=p_f-p_i

p_f=J+p_i

p_f=2\times 10^7\ N-s+13000\ kg\times 11\ m/s

p_f=20143000\ kg-m/s

(c) For new velocity,

v_f=\dfrac{p_f}{m}

v_f=\dfrac{20143000\ kg-m/s}{13000\ kg}

v_f=1549.46\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
