What is the weight of cubic foot of rock?
The weight of a cubic foot of rock will depend on the specific gravity and proportion of the minerals that compose the rock.
Buoyant force of a rock submerged in water compared to the weight of the water displaced by the rock?
The buoyant force acting on the rock submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the rock. This is known as Archimedes' principle, which states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Which type of rock forms due to the weight of the overlying rocks?
Sedimentary rock forms due to the weight of overlying sediments, which compress and cement together over time.
Is it true that the deeper a rock is buried in the crust the less pressure there is on that rock?
No. The deeper a rock is buried, the more pressure it is under.
If a rock was brought from earth to the moon what statement is true?
The weight of the rock would be less on the moon compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravity, but the mass of the rock would remain the same.
Why is the weight of rock different in and out water?
The weight of a rock is less in water because water exerts an upward buoyant force on the rock, reducing its effective weight. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where the weight of the water displaced by the rock counteracts the rock's weight.
What will happen to the weight reading if a rock is dropped into water?
It depends what the weight reading was originally measuring. If it was measuring the weight of the experimenter and the rock they were holding, and the water is not being held by them, then the weight will decrease by the weight of the rock. If it was measuring the weight of the water into which the rock it dropped, then it will increase by the weight of the rock. If it was measuring the weight of something totally unrelated to the experiment, then dropping the rock will have no measurable effect on the reading of the weight. Context needs to be given for the weight reading for a proper answer to be given.
What is the weight of cubic foot of rock?
The weight of a cubic foot of rock will depend on the specific gravity and proportion of the minerals that compose the rock.
What is the weight of a rock that has the mass of 7 kg?
The rock's weight or force in Newtons is 68.65
How heavy or dense a rock is what is it called?
The heaviness or density of a rock is referred to as its specific gravity, which compares the weight of the rock to the weight of an equal volume of water. It is a measure of how compact the material in the rock is.
Is heat has weight?
A rock has no brain, likewise heat has no weight ;)
What rock forms when sediment is squezed into layers by the weight of the rock above it?
Metamorphic rock.
If a rock is put into a container of water will the weight stay the same?
The weight of the rock will be lessened by the weight of the same volume of water. If the rock weighs less than that volume of water, it will float (as does pumice). Thus, if you had a rock that has a density (weight/volume) of 2 times the same volume of water, it would weigh one half of its dry weight when in water.
A rock at rest has weight 138 N. What is the weight of the rock when it is accelerating downward at 3.5 ms2?
When the rock is accelerating downward at 3.5 m/s^2, its weight remains the same at 138 N regardless of acceleration. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, and in this case, the weight is constant regardless of any acceleration the rock experiences.
How does the buoyant force of a rock emerged in water compare to the weight of the water displaced by the rock?
The buoyant force acting on a rock in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the rock, as described by Archimedes' principle. This means that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of water that is pushed aside by the rock when it is submerged.
How heavey is concrete?
The weight of concrete totally depends on the weight of the rock aggregate that is in it. In my area, the rock is hard basalt, which is a little heavier than some other rock. The weight per cubic foot is around 156 pounds.
A rock will sink because it is heavier than..?
A rock will sink because it is more dense than the liquid into which it is placed.
