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 person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a
Burka [1]

Answer:

350 N/m

Explanation:

If we are assuming the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material, then by Hooke's law the spring constant of the cord is simply the ratio between the force 70N acting on the cord to stretch 20cm or 0.2m

k = 70 / 0.2 = 350 N/m

The spring constant is 350 N/m

A 16 foot ladder is leaning against a wall. If the top of the ladder slides down the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fa
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

11.625

Explanation:

L = length of the ladder = 16 ft

v_{y} = rate at which top of ladder slides down = - 3 ft/s

v_{x} = rate at which bottom of ladder slides

y = distance of the top of ladder from the ground

x = distance of bottom of ladder from wall = 4 ft

Using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

16² = 4² + y²

y = 15.5 ft

Also using Pythagorean theorem

L² = x² + y²

Taking derivative both side relative to "t"

0 = 2x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t} + 2y\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}

0 = x v_{x} + y v_{y}

0 = 4 v_{x} + (15.5) (- 3)

v_{x} = 11.625 ft/s

A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr
ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.

What is the maximum speed when the conditions are mass =450 kg, initial height= 30 m, and the roller coaster is initially at res
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B. 24.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the roller coaster, m = 450 kg

height of the roller coaster, h = 30 m

The maximum potential energy of the roller coaster  due to its height is given by;

P.E_{max} = mgh\\\\PE_{max} = 450 *9.8*30\\\\PE_{max} = 132,300 \ J

P.E_{max} = K.E_{max} \ (law \ of \ conservation\ of \ energy)

K.E_{max} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2K.E_{max}}{m}\\\\ v_{max}^2 = \frac{2*132300}{450}\\\\ v_{max}^2 =588\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{588}\\\\  v_{max} = 24.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed of the roller coaster is 24.2 m/s.
