Why is the geologic record important to scientists

1 answer:

7 0

The geologic record is the history of Earth as recorded in the rocks that make up its crust. Rocks have been forming and wearing away since Earth first started to form, creating sediment that accumulates in layers of rock called strata. The way these strata are arranged and what fossils are in them give scientists clues about what Earth was like billions of years ago.

If only 10 pounds is required to lift a 500-lb block, how much chain must be played out to lift the engine 3.0 inches?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\$

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

$10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in$

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.
