Describe a sea-level transgression

1 answer:

7 0

Some geographic areas endure cycles between these two processes called transgressive-regressive sequences. The rocks of western Pennsylvania are one example. Sandy beaches often leave observable records of transgression by covering marsh sediments that were once behind it as it moves inland. The original sediments are then covered by even deeper water sediments, which geologists can trace and record. It is generally believed that transgression will increase in accordance with rising sea levels worldwide

Mariana [72]

Answer:

17.72° or 72.28°

Explanation:

u = 6.5 m/s

R = 2.5 m

Let the angle of projection is θ.

Use the formula for the horizontal range

$R=\frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}$

$2.5=\frac{6.5^{2}Sin2\theta }{9.8}$

Sin 2θ = 0.58

2θ = 35.5°

θ = 17.72°

As we know that the range is same for the two angles which are complementary to each other.

So, the other angle is 90° - 17.72° = 72.28°

Thus, the two angles of projection are 17.72° or 72.28°.

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.60- kg mass if it were 1.3×107 m above Earth's surface (that is, if it were three Earth

nignag [31]

The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
$F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation

In this problem, the first object has a mass of $m_1=0.60 kg$ , while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass $m_2=5.97 \cdot 10^{24}kg$ . The distance of the object from the Earth's center is $r=1.3 \cdot 10^7 m$ ; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
$F=G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(0.60 kg)(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(1.3 \cdot 10^7 m)^2}= 1.41 N$
