Answer:

The ball would have greatest speed at the bottom of ramp C

Explanation:

From the given ramps, C would generate the highest potential energy especially at the highest point that the ball starts to move down the ramp. Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object moving with a uniform velocit or at rest. Since potential energy increases with height, the potential energy gained by the ball on ramp C would cause an increase in its momentum as it glides down to the bottom of the ramp.

Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.
