When sedimentary rock is exposed to heat and pressure it changes into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Heat and pressure have the capacity to change a rock into a completely new type of rock. An igneous rock or a sedimentary rock can be changed into a metamorphic rock as a result of heat and pressure which the rock is subjected to. Metamorphic rocks are usually formed from already existing rocks that are exposed to pressure and heat.
Answer:
<em>The object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe</em>
Explanation:
<u>Free Falling</u>
When an object is released from rest in free air (no friction), the motion is completely dependant on the acceleration of gravity g.
If we drop an object of mass m near the Earth surface from a height h, it has initial mechanical energy of

When the object strikes the ground, all the mechanical energy (only potential energy) becomes into kinetic energy

Where v is the speed just before hitting the ground
If we know the speed v is safe for the integrity of the object, then we can know the height it was dropped from

Solving for h

If the drop had occurred in the Moon, then

Where hM, vM and gM are the corresponding parameters on the Moon. We know v is the safe hitting speed and the gravitational acceleration on the Moon is g_M=1/6 g


This means the object could fall from six times the original height and still be safe
Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
Answer:
24.5 N
Explanation:
The falling object experiences its weight acting downwards and the air resistance in the opposite direction.
The air resistance increases with velocity so there may come a point, depending on the shape of the object and if there is sufficient height, where these 2 forces are equal.
Since the object has no net forces acting on it it will, according to Newton, no longer accelerate but continue with a constant velocity.
This is called Terminal Velocity.
So:
Air resistance = weight
