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

Vedmedyk [2.9K]2 years ago
6 0

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.

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1  : m1= 5kg

       50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

        F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

         F2 = 2*a  

(c) F1 =25 N

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1=  5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

<em>Look</em> <em>m1 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

<em>Look</em> <em>m2 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

<em>Look</em> <em>m3 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a     Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

<em>Look</em> <em>Free body diagram of the mass set</em>

∑Fx = m*a   m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

<em> (d) </em><em>What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?</em>

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N
