Energy is being transferred into the gas particles. Since temperature is also being increased due to the increased pressure. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles. Therefore energy transfers to the gas.

mrs_skeptik [129]

Rock layers are folded and appear to be scratched because of the plate tectonics and the glacial advance.

Answer: Option 1 and 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plate tectonics and the glacial advance are the geological phenomenon which have the power to effect the layers of the rock. Because of these, there can be scratches on the layers of the rock and the layers of the rocks can be folded.

The huge mass of ice that is included in the glacier which may be of thickness of three to four kilometers is a lot to scratch the rocks. These glaciers are responsible for moving the rocks from their original position to a new place altogether.

5.<br>why does the pointer rotate?​
morpeh [17]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Explanation:

From the experiment set up in the diagram, the pointer is resting on the drinking straw while the rod is resting on the drinking straw.

When the rod is being heated through the bursen burner, there will be linear expansion in the rod. As the rod increases its length, this causes the drinking straw to roll and thereby causing the pointer to rotate.

The pointer therefore rotates because of the thermer expansion that happen in the rod due to the heat from the bursen burner.

Two loudspeakers emit identical sound waves along the x-axis. The sound at a point on the axis has maximum intensity when the sp
EleoNora [17]

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.

The waves are in phase, then the first distance is

\Delta x_1 = 20cm

And out of the phase when

\Delta x_2 = 30cm

Thus the wavelength is

\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2}

Here,

\lambda =  Wavelength

If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have

\lambda = 2 (\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 )

\lambda= 2(30-20)

\lambda = 20cm

Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.

The position-time equation for a certain train is xf=2.8m+(8.1m/s)t+(2.9m/s^2)t^2.
mash [69]
The formula without numbers is
xf = xi + vxi(t) +  \frac{1}{2} (a) {t}^{2}
do the initial velocity would be
8.1 m/s
and the acceleration would be
2.9 m/s^2
