The law of superposition helps scientists determine the relative age of a layer of sedimentary rock. the law of superposition is <span>a basic </span>law<span> 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</span> .
hope this helps :)
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as
Here
k = Coulomb's Constant
Charge of each object
d = Distance
Our values are given as,
d = 1 m
a) The electric force on charge 
is
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
b) As the force exerted on will be equal to that act on 
,
Force is positive i.e. repulsive
c) If 
, a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.
Force is negative i.e. attractive
A kilogram is a unit of weight. So a kilogram of bricks would weigh the same as a kilogram of feathers despite if its in water or air since weight is determined by gravity in relation to mass and not what substance the object is in.
The question is missing alternatives. Here is the complete question.
An infrared spectrometer on Dawn found something unexpected on Ceres's surface. Its presence suggested that Ceres might have formed farther from the Sun, or been impacted by objects from a more-distant part of the solar system. What was this finding?
1. The fact that Ceres is covered with small dark particles that appear identical to the composition of Uranus's rings.
2. The presence of a thick cloud layer made of sulfuric acid, similar to what is observed at Venus.
3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.
4. The infrared spectrum of Ceres's surface is essentially identical to that of most objects in the Kuiper Belt.
Answer: 3. The presence of clay-like minerals with ammonia bound up in them.
Explanation: The discovery of ammonia clay-like minerals in Ceres is surprising because it would be encoutered in planets that are far from the Sun, since ammonia requires colder temperatures, which is found beyond Jupiter's orbit, to condense. This finding can ascertain not only the origins of the dwarf planet as how the solar system was formed, were organized and evolved, because understanding where smaller planets are formed is important to determine their destiny.
