Answer:

c. Magma composition and cooling rate

Explanation:

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust.

Answer: C

Explanation:

(Magma composition and cooling rate)

Igneous rocks are formed by cooling magma. The location of the formation of the rock, as well as how fast the magma cools will determine the type of igneous rock. Intrusive rocks form from the cooling of magma deep beneath the earth's surface. Since this occurs below the earth's surface, the magma will cool very slowly.

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. What is the radius of the circ

FromTheMoon [43]

Object Motion: 25 m/s

Circumference of Circle:
1/4 Circumference of Circle in 1 second = 25 meters
25 meters times 4 = Circumference of Circle
Circumference = 100 meters

Formula to Find Circumference of Circle: (work opposite)
C = 2πr

100 = 2πr divided
100/2π = r simplify
50/π = r (exact radius)

Answer:
50/π meters = r (exact radius)

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ ) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ ) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

- When the displacement of the spring is maximum, the velocity is zero, due to conservation of energy.

On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

$F=-kx$

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$
