<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Resultant of two vectors having opposite direction is the difference of the two displacements having the same direction as the larger vector. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Resultant of two vectors is obtained by performing the vector addition operation. When the directions of both vectors are same the resultant’s direction will also be the same as the inputs. When two vectors have opposite directions, one direction will be taken positive making one vector positive and the other negative.

By performing addition of a positive and negative number we are actually taking the difference between both. Thus performing vector addition of two vectors with opposite directions is equivalent to finding the difference between the vectors. Consider a system consisting of a solid block, on which two forces F1 and F2 act in the opposite direction.

One force will be considered positive and the other is considered negative. The resultant is given by the difference of two force vectors. Displacement of the block will be in the direction of the greater force.

1) Archeologists have found fossil remains of some of the first land
dimaraw [331]

Answer: Carbon 14 and Uranium 238 are not used together to determine fossil ages.

Explanation:

Carbon 14 with a half life of 5,700 years can only be used to date fossils of approximately 50,000 years. Most fossils are thought to be much older than 50,000 years. Also most fossils no longer contain any Carbon. The fossilized remains have been mineralized where the original organic material has been replaced and turned into stones containing no carbon.

Uranium 238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years. Uranium can be used to date the age of the earth. If 50% of pure uranium' is left in a sample the sample is assumed to be 4.5 billion years old.( This is assuming that the original sample was 100% uranium and no Uranium 238 has been eroded or lost in 4.5 billion years old. If a fossil has only 25 % of the Uranium 238 the sample has an estimated age of 3.2 Billion years. This would be the estimated age of the earliest life or formation of fossils.

Note no fossils contain Uranium 238. Uranium 238 is only found in igneous or volcanic rocks. So no fossils can be dated directly using U 238.

Because of the huge differences in the half lives of Carbon 14 and Uranium238 they cannot be used together. Carbon 14 can only be used to date fossils of a very recent age. Uranium 238 can only be used to date volcanic rocks of a very old age.

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an individual charge:​
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Alignment of charges at the surface of an object producing an induced charge is known as POLARIZATION

Explanation:

Polarization is a characteristic of certain electromagnetic radiations in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specific way.

There are four types of Polarization which include

Electronic Polarization

Ionic Polarization

Orientation Polarization

Space Charge Polarization

A student heats a liquid on a burner. What happens to the portion of liquid that first begins to warm? Check all that apply.
kherson [118]

Answer:

The answers are options B,D and E

Explanation:

B) The particles in the liquid are slowly overcoming the forces of attraction and spreading out due to the thermal energy they are absorbing. This makes the liquid less dense as it slowly changes into a gas after reaching its boiling point.

D) The particles start absorbing the energy form the surroundings as latent heat of evaporation. They need this energy to overcome the strong forces of attraction between particles to change into the gaseous state

E) The particles have spaced out due to the thermal energy absorbed, making the liquid lighter and it rises upwards.
