How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?

1 answer:

4 0

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.

Explanation:

Radius of the earth = 6.38 x 10¹⁶m

time = 24hr (86400s)

Unknown:

Centripetal acceleration = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is directed inward to keep the body from falling off the surface of the earth.

centripetal acceleration = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

where v is the velocity and r is the radius

also;

v = wr

where w is the angular velocity

substituting in the equation for centripetal acceleration gives;

a = w²r

also w = $\frac{2 x pi}{T}$

therefore;

a = $\frac{4 \pi ^{2} r }{T^{2} }$

a = $\frac{ 4 x 3.142^{2} x 6.38 x 10^{16} }{86400^{2} }$

a = 337493603.8m/s²

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

= 1 / (0.042) [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

= 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.
