The geologist discovered is likely a disconformity. The correct letter of the answer is letter B. It is because as the geologist found that there are no sedimentary rock layers exist, it means that he discovers disconformity, where it means that the sedimentary sequence has brought to break.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I think the correct answer is B. Disconformity.

The circumference of a sphere was measured to be

professor190 [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the surface, volume and error through the differentiation of the formulas given for the calculation of these values in a circle. Our values given at the beginning are

$\phi = 76cm$

$Error (dr) = 0.5cm$

The radius then would be

$\phi = 2\pi r \\76cm = 2\pi r\\r = \frac{38}{\pi} cm$

And

$\frac{d\phi}{dr} = 2\pi \\d\phi = 2\pi dr \\0.5 = 2\pi dr$

PART A ) For the Surface Area we have that,

$A = 4\pi r^2 \\A = 4\pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^2\\A = \frac{5776}{\pi}$

Deriving we have that the change in the Area is equivalent to the maximum error, therefore

$\frac{dA}{dr} = 4\pi (2r) \\dA = 4r (2\pi dr)$

Maximum error:

$dA = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})(0.5)$

$dA = \frac{76}{\pi}cm^2$

The relative error is that between the value of the Area and the maximum error, therefore:

$\frac{dA}{A} = \frac{\frac{76}{\pi}}{\frac{5776}{\pi}}$

$\frac{dA}{A} = 0.01315 = 1.31\%$

PART B) For the volume we repeat the same process but now with the formula for the calculation of the volume in a sphere, so

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{38}{\pi})^3$

$V = \frac{219488}{3\pi^2}$

Therefore the Maximum Error would be,

$\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} 3\pi r^2$

$dV = 2r^2 (2\pi dr)$

$dV = 4r^2 (\pi dr)$

Replacing the value for the radius

$dV = 4(\frac{38}{\pi})^2(0.5)$

$dV = \frac{2888}{\pi^2} cm^3$

And the relative Error

$\frac{dV}{V} = \frac{ \frac{2888}{\pi^2}}{ \frac{219488}{3\pi^2} }$

$\frac{dV}{V} = 0.03947$

$\frac{dV}{V} = 3.947\%$

Does the mass of a parachute affect terminal velocity?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

The greater weight increases the terminal velocity by acting as an extra force against gravity and air resistance.

Calculate the height from which a body is released rest if its velocity just before hitting the ground is 30ms-1

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

45.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Final velocity = 30m/s

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Unknown:

Height of fall = ?

Solution:

The motion equation to solve this problem is given below;

V² = U² + 2gH

V² = 0 + (2 x 9.8 x H)

30² = 19.6H

H = $\frac{900}{19.6}$ = 45.9m
