Sedimentary rocks are over 10,000 feet thick in some areas. true or fasle

True

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are, in average, 1800m thick, where 1m = 3.28084 ft

so 1800 meters are equivalent to 1800*3.2 ft = 5760 ft.

But this is the average, there are some areas with no sedimentary rocks at all, and some areas, like the Texas and Lousiana Gulf coasts, that have around 20,000m of sedimentary rock, and knowing that 1m = 3.2ft

20,000m is a lot more than 10,000 feet, so the statement is true.

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts

as technology advances, new experiments often expose problems in accepted theories. c
