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.

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be \frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is L_1 is T_1=0.95sec

And when length is L_2 time period T_2=1sec

We know that time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

So 0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}----eqn 1

And 1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}-------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}

Squaring both side

\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

17. The edges of a rectangular solid have these measures: 1.5 feet by 1½ feet by 3 inches. What is its volume in cubic inches? a
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

c. 972

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular solid is calculated as the product of its dimensions, that is, its width, its length and its height:

V=a*b*h

1 feet is equal to 12 inches, so:

a=1.5ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in\\b=(1+\frac{1}{2})ft\\b=\frac{3}{2}ft*\frac{12in}{1ft}=18in

Now, we calculate the volume of the object in cubic inches:

V=18in*18in*3in\\V=972in^3

Compare and contrast the strength of the forces between two objects with a mass of 1 kg each, a charge of 10
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating each force.

Gravitational force

             F =G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}  

let's calculate

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹  1  1 / 1²

             F = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N

Electric force

             F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}  

indicates that the charge is q = 10 C

            F = 9 10⁹ 10 10 / 1²

            F = 9 10¹¹ N

Let's see the similarities between the two forces

* are proportional to the product of a magnitude, mass or charge

* They are inversely proportional to the square of the distance

* They are long-range forces since zero is not made up to an infinite distance. The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

The differences in them

* The electric force in much greater than the gravitational force

* The gravitational force is always attractive, the electrical force can be attractive or repulsive.

A cylinder is sliced in half along its diagonal. Determine the location of the center of mass and the inertia properties relativ
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

To better understand this problem, a cylinder sketch is attached before and after the cut, we see that after the cut, the shape of this resembles that of a right triangle.

We can find, the centroid in the xy plane, knowing that the centroid for a triangle is located a third of its base.

In the z axis there is no displacement of the centroid.
