Because there is no record of all things. As we have partially unknow information, it can never be held as a fact.

Sandra takes a class field trip to a geology museum. She sees an interesting sample of igneous rock. She wonders if the material

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.

An object increases its velocity from 22 m/s to 36 m/s in 5 s. What is the acceleration of the

gregori [183]

Explanation:

Using Kinematics,

we have a = (v - u) / t.

Therefore a = (36m/s - 22m/s) / 5s = 2.8m/s².

Answer:

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s

Explanation:

Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n$

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n$

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'$

The common velocity after this situation is:

$\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

$\displaystyle v'=\frac{2*5+8*0}{2+8}=\frac{10}{10}=1$

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
