Granite is mostly used in building work places whereas Gneiss is used for making tombstones, flooring, etc. Why do you think so? Explain how does this happen in nature

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.

Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.

Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.

how they are formed in nature:

In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.

In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss

If a 1.3 kg ball is dropped from the top of a 33.7 meter building what is its potential energy before it is dropped?
B) What is the maximum velocity of the ball in problem 1 just before it hits the ground?
C) How much kinetic energy does the ball in problem 1 have after it has fallen 10 m down the building?

Answers

Answer:429.338 J; 25.7 m/s; 127.4 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=1.3 kg

Height of building H=33.7 m

(a)Potential Energy before dropping [tex]=mgH=1.3\times 9.8\times 33.7=429.338\ J[/tex]

(b)Velocity Just before hitting the ground

[tex]v=\sqrt{2gH}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 33.7}=25.7\ m/s[/tex]

(c)After falling 10 m

Here initial velocity is zero

using [tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

Here,

[tex]v=\text{final veloity}[/tex]

[tex]u=\text{Initial velocity}[/tex]

[tex]a=\text{acceleration due to gravity}[/tex]

[tex]s=\text{displacement}[/tex]

Putting values

[tex]v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 10\\v=14\ m/s[/tex]

So, kinetic energy  [tex]\dfrac{mv^2}{2}=\dfrac{1.3\times 196}{2}=127.4\ J[/tex]

At 1:00 a.m., someone breaks a window in the back of a store and robs the safe. On the way out, the thief is cut on a piece of broken glass. A forensic team collects and tests a sample of blood left behind by the thief. It is O–. The police bring in a suspect with a cut forearm who was arrested just three blocks from the store. The person resembles someone seen leaving the store at the time of the robbery. A sample of the suspect’s blood is taken and tested for blood type. Once the suspect’s blood is mixed with anti-A serum, it is immediately clear that the suspect is not the person who was cut on the broken glass in the store. How did the test indicate that fact?

A 0.016-kg piece of iron absorbs 1086.75 joules of heat energy, and its temperature changes from 25°C to 175°C. Calculate the specific heat capacity of iron. Equation : c = Q/mt * 2608.2 J/(Kg*°C) 3477.6 J/(Kg*°C) 452.8 J/(Kg*°C) 8.7 J/(Kg*°C)

Answers

Answer:

452.8125J/Kg°C

Explanation:

The quantity of eat absorbed by the iron is expressed as;

Q = mc∆t

Q = 1086.75 joules

m is the mass= 0.016kg

c is the specific heat capacity

∆t is the change in temperature = 175-25 = 150°C

Get c;

From the formula;

c = Q/m∆t

c = 1086.75/0.016(150)

c =1086.75/2.4

c = 452.8125J/Kg°C

Hence the specific heat capacity of iron is 452.8125J/Kg°C

a persons eardrum has an area of 0.000200 m^2. How much force does the outside air at 1.00 atm exert on the eardrum

Answers

Answer:

20.3N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Area of the eardrum  = 0.0002m²

Pressure on the eardrum  = 1atm  = 101325Nm⁻²

Unknown:

Force exerted on the eardrum  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area impacted on a body.

      Pressure  = [tex]\frac{Force }{area}[/tex]  

  Force  = Pressure x  area

Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Force  =  101325Nm⁻²  x  0.0002m²  = 20.3N

Answer:

The complete sentence is presented as follows;

The area of the land is 2.31 × 10¹⁰ square meters in scientific notation

We can represent this area as 2.31 × 10⁴ square kilometers

Explanation:

The question relates to Laws of indices specifically in powers of 10

The given parameters of the dimensions of the rectangular section of forest land are;

5.5 × 10⁵ meters by 4.2 × 10⁴ meters

Therefore, the area, "A" the rectangular section of forest land is A = 5.5 × 10⁵ m × 4.2 × 10⁴ m = 2.31 × 10¹⁰ m²

1 km² = 1 × 10⁶ m²

∴ 2.31 × 10¹⁰ m² = 2.31 × 10¹⁰/(1 × 10⁶) km² = 2.31 × 10¹⁰ ⁻ ⁶ km² = 2.31 × 10⁴ km²

2.31 × 10¹⁰ m² = 2.31 × 10⁴ km²

Therefore, the complete sentence, can be written as follows;

The area of the land is 2.31 × 10¹⁰ square meters in scientific notation

We can represent this area as 2.31 × 10⁴ square kilometers.

Answer:

The area of the land is 2.31 × 10¹⁰ square meters in scientific notation

How many Joules of energy are required to make 50 kg of ice completely melt?
Hv = 226,000 J/kg
Hf = 334,000 J/kg

Answers

Answer:

In order to answer this question, you need the enthalpy of fusion of ice, which is 333.55 J/g (Joules/gram). The enthalpy of fusion is the amount of heat that must be absorbed or lost in order to change physical state.

The number of Joules required to melt the ice = enthalpy of fusion of ice x mass of ice.

1 kg = 1000g

40kg x (1000g/1kg) = 40,000g

Joules needed to melt the ice = 333.55 J/g x 40000 g = 13342000 J or

1.3342 x 107 J

Explanation:

Instead of 40kg input 50kg and get the answer

If a Triangle having all the three sides of equal length and corresponding angle also to be equal than this triangle is known as equilateral triangle.

By definition of equilateral triangle it is known that all the sides of a triangle are equal and by the angle sum property tells us that a triangle's angles add up to 180. It also tells us that every side of a triangle is the same, and every angle of an equilateral triangle is the same.

Let each angle of triangle be x :

hockey puck slides across the ice with an initial velocity of 7.2 m/s. It has a deceleration of 1.1 m/s2 and is traveling toward the goal 5.0 m away. How much time does the goalie have to stop the puck?

Answers

For this use the formula:

d = Vo * t - (at^2) / 2

Clearing t:

t = d/(v + 0.5*a)

Replacing:

t = 5 m / (7.2 m/s + 0.5 * (-1.1 m/s²)

Resolving:

t = 5 m / (7.2 m/s + (-0.55 m/s²)

t = 5 m / 6.65 m/s

t = 0.75 s

Result:

The time will be 0.75 seconds.

.75 seconds is the amount of time the goalie has to stop the puck

Answer: b

Explanation:

When heat is released by the system i.e. system loses heat. So, we take it as negative -Q

When the work is done on the system then it is considered as negative work on the system i.e. -W  

In this case, the plunger is pulled out, and work is done on the system. So, we take work as negative work -W

Two resistors are used in an experiment. Resistor 1 had a resistance of 4 ohms and resistor 2 has a resistance of 2 ohms. Which resistor will have the bigger current flowing through it if the potential difference is constant

Answers

Answer:

2ohms resistor

Explanation:

According to ohms law

V= IR

V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

Since they have the same potential difference, this shows that they are connected in parallel

Let assume V = 20V

For the 4ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/4

I = 5A

For the two ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/2

I = 10A

This shows that the 2ohms resistor will have the bigger current because the smaller the load, the bigger the current and vice versa

Global warming may cause all of the given choices.

Global warming is the rise in surface temperature. This is due to the trapping of heat within the earth surface.

It is as a result of huge amount of greenhouse gases within our atmosphere. They typically permit short wave radiations to escape and they do not allow short wave radiation to pass through. This in turn produces heat.

The heat can melt polar ices and glaciers. This in turn will cause sea levels to rise. Also, the ocean temperature will generally increase due to this.

Test populations are studied. Population one is found to obey the differential equation dy1/da=o.2y1 and the population two obeys dy2/da = -0.3y2 , where t is the time in years? Which population is growing and which is declining

Answers

Answer:

Population 1 indicates growth while Population 2 indicates a declining population

Explanation:

Here, using the given rate of change of the population, we want to determine which of the two is growing and which is declining

From the rate of change of both, we can determine this. Looking at the differential equation for the first one, we can see that it is of positive value. Looking at the differential equation for the second one. we can see it is of negative value

While a positive change rate indicates growth, a negative change rate will indicate otherwise

Hence, we can conclude that the one with a negative rate change will indicate a declining population
