Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Specifically, Special Relativity showed us that space and time are not independent of one another but can be mixed into each other and therefore must be considered as the same object, which we shall denote as space-time. The consequences of space/time mixing are: time dilation. and length contraction.

Rus_ich [418]

Most geologists accept radiometric dating techniques as valid because radioactive elements decay at a constant and measurable rate.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists prefer radioactive dating to carbon dating because it is more accurate in measuring.  The analysis depends upon the radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes of any matter in a given rock or soil.

The parent atoms and daughter atoms are compared while studying, and hence age can be calculated easily. Radioactive decay depends upon the given half-life of the atom, which is a constant and is known. So, it would be very easy to calculate the number of progeny atoms and parent atoms and find out their age.

If the distance between the Earth and Moon were half what it is now, by what factor would the force of gravity between them be c
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of Earth

m_2 = Mass of Moon

r = Distance between Earth and Moon

Old gravitational force

F_o=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

New gravitational force

F_n=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}

Dividing the equations

\dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{(\dfrac{1}{2}r)^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=\dfrac{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{\dfrac{1}{4}r^2}}{\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The ratio is \dfrac{F_n}{F_o}=4

The new force would be 4 times the old force

Why do you think a clothes dryer requires a 220-volt outlet, while a toaster only requires a 110-volt outlet?
hammer [34]

A toaster needs a 110-volt outlet because it doesn’t need too much electricity.  Electricity can be converted to heat, and toaster only needs to be heated and nothing else that requires extra electricity while clothes dyer requires higher voltage because it needs more effort and electricity in order to do its function.
