A small pebble and a large boulder start at the same height and begin rolling down the side of a mountain.Which object would hav

e less kinetic energy as it crashes on the road at the bottom of the mountain?

Answer:

The large boulder

Explanation:

An object’s kinetic energy depends on:

● the object’s mass and

● the object’s speed

Let us remember that the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity on the both objects is exactly the same.

However, the mass of the objects are different. Mass is a measure of the inertia (resistance to motion) of a body. The greater the mass, the greater the inertial. The boulder has a greater mass and hence a greater inertia (more resistance to motion).

Therefore, the boulder will have less kinetic energy

elixir [45]
For the first question:
Valuable ore deposits and gem crystals are often associated with igneous intrusions. So for this question the correct option is option “d”. An example like the Pegmatite’s, which are a form of igneous intrusions, is responsible for the creation of variety of gems like topaz and tourmaline.
For the second question:
For this specific question, option “c” seems to be the correct option. Weathering, deposition, compaction, cementation are the possible sequence that leads to the formation of sedimentary rocks.

What is rate a of reaction
kicyunya [14]
The rate of the reaction is measurable quantity that refers to the amount or how much is are chemical substances reagents used up or converted into the product over some period of time.

Rate = change in the amount/time.

This can indirectly be observed through many ways, such as the volume of gas given off if the byproduct is a gas being produced, the colour of the solution etc.

If measurements of a gas are 100L and 300 kilopascals and then the gas is measured a second time and found to be 75L, describe w
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The pressure of the gas increased (if temperature remained constant).

The Boyle's law supports this observation.

Explanation:

The initial measurements of the gas are given as;

volume = 100 L

Pressure = 300 kpa

The second measurement is given as;

Volume = 75 L

The second reading implies that the volume of the gas has decreased. If the temperature of the gas remained constant, then the pressure must have increased according to the Boyle's law;

At constant temperature, the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
