Whats the difference between relative dating and absolute dating

Physics

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.

Inga [223]
From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
                                           A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.

Eventually, the process approaches a steady state. In that steady state, the charge of the capacitor is not changing. What is th
devlian [24]

Answer:

The current in the circuit must be zero.

Explanation:

In a RC circuit, the steady state is reached when either the capacitor is fully charged or fully discharged. In either case, there must not be any current through the circuit because if it exists, it will deliver charge to the capacitor and thus change its charge, which is not a steady state.

A particle with charge 6 mC moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 1.9000000000000001 J
Vesna [10]

Answer:

16.9000000000000001 J

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the initial kinetic energy from point A be K_A = 1.9000000000000001 J

and the final kinetic energy from point B be K_B = ???

The charge particle Q = 6 mC = 6 × 10⁻³ C

The change in the electric potential from point B to A;

i.e. V_B - V_A = -2.5 × 10³ V

According to the work-energy theorem:

-Q × ΔV = ΔK

-Q \times ( V_B - V_A) = (K_B - K_A)

-(6\times 10^{-3}\ C) \times ( -2.5 \times 10^3) = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

15 = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

K_B = 15+ 1.9000000000000001 \ J

\mathbf{K_B =1 6.9000000000000001 \ J}
