Answer:

because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet

Explanation:

We see sedimentary rocks more than other rock types because they are the rocks that line the surface of our planet.

Sedimentary rocks typically form the earth cover due to the way they are formed.

These rocks are produced by the weathering, transportation and deposition of sediments within a basin.
In this basin, the sediment is lithified and converted to sedimentary rocks.
These processes are driven by the external heat engine
Therefore, it is confined to the surface.
Igneous and metamorphic rock's processes are confined to the subsurface.

a concrete slab 20 m long and weighing 400,000 N is supported by one pillar. If a 19,600 N car is parked 8 meters from one end.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab

So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state

So here we will have

$Mg(r - L/2) = mg(L/2 - 8)$

here we know that

mg = 19600 N

Mg = 400,000 N

L = 20 m

from above equation we have

$400,000(r - 10) = 19,600 (10 - 8)$

$r - 10 = 0.098$

$r = 10.098 m$

so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab

A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s to a stop.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

-0.0047 rad/s²

335.103 seconds

99.18 seconds

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.5 ra/s

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation = 40 rev

t = Time taken

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0^2-1.5^2}{2\times 2\pi \times 40}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.0047\ rad/s^2$

Acceleration while slowing down is -0.0047 rad/s²

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-1.5}{-0.0047}\\\Rightarrow t=335.103\ s$

Time taken to slow down is 335.103 seconds

$\theta=\omega_it+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow 20\times 2\pi=1.5\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -0.0047\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0.00235t^2-1.5t+125.66=0$

Solving the equation

$t=\frac{-\left(-1.5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}, \frac{-\left(-1.5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}\\\Rightarrow t=539.11, 99.18\ s$

The time required for it to complete the first 20 is 99.18 seconds as 539.11>335.103

In the Compton effect, the wavelength of the scattered photon is __________ the wavelength of the incident photon.

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

he wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

Explanation:

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, this process is analyzed using the conservation of momentum, in which we assume that initially the electron is at rest and after the collision it recedes, therefore the energy of the incident photon decreases and consequently its wavelength changes

To complete the sentence we use the wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon
