All matter, including rocks and their constituents, can be a source of energy. If a rock drops from an altitude, as would a meteorite, it is imbued with "kinetic energy," just like a bullet from a firearm.
A rock may also contain minerals that after they are extracted may yield chemical elements that could yield "thermodynamic energy" as part of chemical reactions.
A rock may also contain atoms that could be used in fission or fusion processes that could produce the type of thermonuclear and fusion energy that occurs in atomic explosions and in the Sun, respectively.
Yes. If it's part of Earth's matter it contains energy, as heat, at least.
Then, if you were to give it a push that made it move, it would have kenetic (mechanical) energy as well. Then the extra energy, from the push, would be transferred through friction to its surroundings, and it would come to a stop, radiate, as electromagnetic wave energy, any excess energy into its environment, and finally return to its original energy state or level.
-- it releases energy when it's dropped (which had to be put into it by lifting it);
-- it releases energy when it cools (which had to be put into it by heating it);
-- just laying there, it doesn't give, take, or use energy.
No. If you want to lift, roll, heat, or break a rock, then you need energy.
i think its the size of the rock
The sudden movement in rock mass causes earthquakes. This is when the rock mass comes together and collapses.
fault lines
An intrusion is a mass of igneous rock that forms when melted rock moves into cracks in rock layers and then cools.
A glacier is a mass of frozen water, therefore it cannot be considered a rock.
The mass of a rock depends on the type of rock studied. Heavier rocks generally will have a higher mass.
On earth the rock has a mass of 9.6kg
The rock's mass on earth will be 5kg (mass = force in newtons / 9.807)
The volume of the rock is the amount of water it displaces, 250ml. Considering that 1ml of water has a mass of 1 mg, the mass of the rock is 5.63 x 250gm = 1,407.5mg.
It depends on the size of the rock.
It depends on the size of the rock.
Critical Mass - Catholic rock - was created in 1996.
On earth the rock's mass is 75 / 9.807 or about 7.65kg
a rock in earth
The answer depnds on the density of each rock. If they are different denities thenthere is a chance that the 1mL rock may have more mass. If they have the same density then the 4mL rock will have more mass
the layer of rock that comprises 67% of earths mass
The mass of a rock is just how much it weighs. Density on the other hand can be found by finding the volume or size of the rock (most easily done in small objects by placing the rock into a beaker or graduated cylinder with markings to see how much water the rock displaces. Completely submerge the rock antd the increase in volume in the water is the volume of the rock). Once you know how much volume there is and how much mass there is (mass is how much it weighs) divide the mass by the volume which gives you the density. Density=Mass÷Volume
