Relative Dating- Scientists compare the fossil(s) to its surroundings to get a close answer to the age.
Absolute Dating - Use a specified Chronology in archeology and geology, this helps to decide the exact age of the fossil(s). 
Absolute Dating has a greater accuracy than that of Relative Dating.

A liquid in a given capillary tube always rises up to a fixed height but not infinitely why
podryga [215]

The answer is; the density of the liquid suppresses the height to which it can rise

The density acts in the opposite direction of capillary action. Capillary action allows the liquid to rise in the tube and the narrower the tube the higher the capillary action and the higher the liquid rises. The denser the liquid however, the lower it will rise. The column stops rising when the capillary force is balanced by the weight of the rising liquid due to gravity.

A 2.0-kilogram ball traveling north at 4.0 meters per second collides head on with a 1.0-kilogram ball traveling south at 8.0 me
enyata [817]

Answer:

We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.  

Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction.  The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees.  The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees.  They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.
