Which kind of metamorphic rocks are massive and lack banding?

Laboratory experiments, observational field studies, and model-building are all examples of different forms of scientific investigations.  in what way do laboratory experiments primarily differ from other forms of scientific investigations?   a.  a laboratory experiment is the only accepted form of investigation within the scientific community.  b.  studies about how things behave in nature or studies involving very large objects are best answered through laboratory experiments.  c.  laboratory experiments involve the identification and control of variables.  d.  data can only be generated through laboratory experiments, not other forms of investigation.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
