Sandra takes a class field trip to a geology museum. She sees an interesting sample of igneous rock. She wonders if the material

in this rock sample could have come from a sedimentary rock formation at Earth’s surface millions of years ago. Is this possible? Can sedimentary rock change into igneous rock?

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

It is possible for sedimentary rocks to be converted to igneous rocks. Under conditions of high temperature and pressure, sedimentary rocks can be broken down into igneous rock by melting this rock type.

When the rock is broken down, it forms melt which when cooled and solidifies will form igneous rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from the breaking down of pre-existing rocks through the action of weathering, erosion and sediment transportation. Within a basin, the sediments are compacted and lithified.

When this is subjected to intense pressure and temperature, the rock hardens and might further break down to melt.

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho
Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)

80=5(50-x)

80=250-5x

5x=170

x=\frac{170}{5}

x=34 cm

A container explodes and breaks into three fragments that fly off 120° apart from each other, with mass ratios 1: 4: 2. If the f
RSB [31]

Answer:

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of the first piece = 6 m/s

speed of the third piece = 3 m/s

speed of the second fragment = ?

mass ratios = 1 : 4 : 2

fragment break  fly off = 120°

α = β = γ  = 120°

sin α = sin β = sin γ = 0.866

using lammi's theorem

\dfrac{A}{sin\alpha}=\dfrac{B}{sin\beta}=\dfrac{C}{sin\gamma}

A,B and C is momentum of the fragments

\dfrac{m\times 6}{0.866}=\dfrac{4m\times v_2}{0.866}=\dfrac{2m\times 3}{0.866}

4 x V₂ = 2 x 3

V₂ = 1.5 m/s

Determine the sign (+ or −) of the torque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps, the sign of the weight of the forearm,
Alex Ar [27]
Ans: 
1.  τbiceps = +(Positive)
2.  τforearm = -(Negative)
3.  τball = -(Negative)

Explanation:

The figure is attached down below.

1. T<span>orque about the elbow caused by the biceps, τbiceps:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
</span>Where r is the vector from elbow to the biceps.
<span>
We can see in the figure that F(biceps) is in upward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the counterclockwise direction. The torque in counterclockwise direction is positive(+). Therefore, the sign would be +.

2. </span>Torque about the the weight of the forearm, τforearm:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the forearm.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(forearm) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

3. Torque about the the weight of the ball, τball:
Since Torque = r x F (where r and F are the vectors)
Where r is the vector from elbow to the ball.

Also weight is the special kind of Force caused by the gravity.

We can see in the figure that W(ball) is in downward direction, and by applying the right hand rule from r to F, we get the clockwise direction. The torque in clockwise direction is negative(-). Therefore, the sign would be -.

A microwave oven operates with sinusoidal microwaves at a frequency of 2400 MHz. The height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the
Degger [83]

Answer:

F = 2 × 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

Given:

frequency, f = 2400 MHz

Height, h = 25cm = 0.25 m

Area of the base, A = 30 cm x 30 cm = 900 cm² = 0.09 m²

Energy of the  microwave, E = 0.50 mJ = 0.5 x 10⁻³ J

Now, the time taken by the wave from top to the base, t = h/c

here, c is the speed of the light

thus,

t = 0.25/(3 x 10⁸) = 8.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

The radiation pressure P_r = Intensity/c

now, the intensity is given as:

I = Power/ area

also,

Power = Energy/ time = 0.5 x 10⁻³ J/8.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ s = 600000 W

thus,

I = 600000 W/ 0.09 m² = 6666666.6 W/m²

substituting the value in the formula for pressure due to radiation, we have

P_r = 6666666.6 W/m²/(3 x 10⁸)

also

pressure = Force/ area

thus,

Force/ area = 6666666.6 W/m²/(3 x 10⁸)

or

Force (F) = (6666666.6 W/m² × 0.09 m²)/(3 x 10⁸)

or

F = 2 × 10⁻³ N

A cylindrical rod of steel (E = 207 GPa, 30 × 10 6 psi) having a yield strength of 310 MPa (45,000 psi) is to be subjected to a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Diameter of the cylinder will be d=2.998\times 10^4m

Explanation:

We have given young's modulus of steel E=207GPa=207\times 10^9Pa  

Change in length \Delta l=0.38mm

Length of rod l=500mm

Load F = 11100 KN

Strain is given by strain=\frac{\Delta l}{l}=\frac{0.38}{500}=7.6\times 10^{-4}

We know that young's modulus E=\frac{stress}{strain}

So 207\times 10^9=\frac{stress}{7.6\times 10^{-4}}

stress=1573.2\times 10^{-5}N/m^2

We know that stress =\frac{force}{artea }

So 1573.2\times 10^{-5}=\frac{11100\times 1000}{area}

area=7.055\times 10^{8}m^2

So \frac{\pi }{4}d^2=7.055\times 10^{8}

d=2.998\times 10^4m
