The law of superposition helps scientists determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock. the law of superposition is a basic law of geochronology, stating that in any undisturbed sequence of rocks deposited in layers, the youngest layer is on top and the oldest on bottom, each layer being younger than the one beneath it and older than the one above it .
hope this helps :)

A wooden block is sitting on an inclined plane near the bottom. The student gave the block a flick and it moved up the inclined

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The block didn't slide due to balancing of gravitational force with friction force

Explanation:

When the block was given a flick the force provided an acceleration to it and it moved up the inclined plane. when the block reached top it was expected that it would slide back but it didn't this happened because of the frictional force acting on the bottom the block which was balancing the gravitational force component along the plane and this prevented sliding back of the block.

static friction was balancing mg*sin(theta)

fs = mg*sin(theta)

In some areas, farmers have installed windmills to generate electricity to run the farm. Some are generating a surplus of electr

Natalija [7]

The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.

A tall cylinder contains 30 cm of water. Oil is carefully poured into the cylinder, where it floats on top of the water, until t

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure is $P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the water contained is $h_w = 30 \ cm = 0.3 \ m$

The height of liquid in the cylinder is $h_t = 40 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$

At the bottom of the cylinder the gauge pressure is mathematically represented as

$P_g = P_w + P_o$

Where $P_w$ is the pressure of water which is mathematically represented as

$P_w = \rho_w * g * h_w$

Now $\rho_w$ is the density of water with a constant values of $\rho_w = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

substituting values

$P_w = 1000 * 9.8 * 0.3$

$P_w = 2940 \ Pa$

While $P_o$ is the pressure of oil which is mathematically represented as

$P_o = \rho_o * g * (h_t -h_w )$

Where $\rho _o$ is the density of oil with a constant value

$\rho _o = 900 \ kg / m^3$

substituting values

$P_o = 900 * 9.8 * (0.4 - 0.3)$

$P_o = 882 \ Pa$

Therefore

$P_g = 2940 - 882$

$P_g = 2058 \ P_a$

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.

Sidana [21]

This B: False, because the definition is lacking.

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass
