Answer:

why do the layers of sedimentary rocks parallel to earth's surface?

Why are sedimentary rocks found on or close to Earth's surface?

Explanation: Erosion breaks existing rocks and turns them into sediments. ... When subjected to heat and pressure deeper in the earth sedimentary rocks are changed into igneous and metamorphic rocks. Because erosion only happens on the earth's surface sedimentary rocks are only formed on the earth's surface.

Explanation:

Why do sedimentary rocks have layers and how these layers are formed?

The different groups of sediments could have been deposited through wind, water, ice, and/or gravity at different intervals of time and compacted on top of each other, until they create a sedimentary rock that has several different types of sediments (possibly from different rock types) in the form of layers.

Air having a pressure of 40 psig and a volume of 8 cu ft expands isothermally to a pressure of 10 psig. Find the external work p

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

357.6 lb-ft

Explanation:

V = Volume = 8 ft³

dP = Change in pressure = (40-10) = 30 psig

Work done is given by

$W=VdP\\\Rightarrow W=8\times (40-10)\\\Rightarrow W=240\ psig.ft^3$

$30\ psig=44.7\ psi\\\Rightarrow 1\ psi=\dfrac{30}{44.7}$

So, converting to ft-lb

$\dfrac{240}{\dfrac{30}{44.7}}=357.6\ lb-ft$

The external work performed during the expansion is 357.6 lb-ft

Kaylis [27]

Answer: 653.33 nm ; 1875, 24 nm

Explanation: For the first case we have to use the Balmer series for the hydrogen when the atom falls from the n = 3 to the n = 2. So for the second transtions for the hydrogen we use the Paschen serie. To do the calculation we need to know the Ryberg constant that is equal to 1.097 * 10^7 m^-1. In the attach is shown the expression for spectral series used for calculation.

what relationship must exist between an applied force and the velocity of a moving obkect if uniform circular motion is to resul

Leona [35]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The centripetal force keeps an object moving in a circular orbit at constant velocity. The velocity of an object undergoing uniform motion is always tangential to the circle while the centripetal force is directed towards the center of the circle.

This now implies that the direction of the force acting on a body undergoing circular motion at constant velocity is perpendicular to the direction in which the object is being displaced.
