An index fossil is a  fossil that is useful for dating and correlating the strata in which it is found.

Or it is a fossil that helps you find the date where it has been found. I rephrased that.

1) A car is traveling down the interstate at 37.1 m/s. The driver sees a cop and quickly slows down. If the driver slows to 29.8
WITCHER [35]

1)

The acceleration of the car is the rate of change of velocity of the car; it can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity of the car to change from u to v

In this problem, for this car we have:

u = 37.1 m/s

v = 29.8 m/s

t = 3 s

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{29.8-37.1}{3}=-2.43 m/s^2

2)

The work done in lifting the box is equal to the potential energy transferred to the box during the process; it is given by:

W=Fd

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the box

Here we have:

F = 87.3 N is the force applied

d = 2.04 m is the displacement of the box

So, the work done to lift the box is:

W=(87.3)(2.04)=178.1 J

3)

The power is the rate of work done per unit time. It is calculated as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done

t is the time taken to do the work

For the child in this problem, we have:

W = 1250 J is the work done by the child running up the stairs

P = 267 W is the power used

Therefore, re-arranging the equation, we find the time taken:

t=\frac{W}{P}=\frac{1250}{267}=4.68 s

4)

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the rabbit in this problem, we have:

m = 8.642 kg is the mass of the rabbit

KE = 125.6 is its kinetic energy

Solving the formula for v, we find the speed of the rabbit:

v=\sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(125.6)}{8.642}}=5.4 m/s

5)

The efficiency of a machine is the ratio between the energy produced in output by the machine and the work done in input. Mathematically, it is given by

\eta = \frac{E_{out}}{W_{in}}\cdot 100

where

E_{out} is the energy in output

W_{in} is the work in input

For the machine in this problem,

W_{in}=120 J is the work in input

E_{out}=93 J is the energy in output

Therefore, the efficiency of this machine is:

\eta=\frac{93}{120}\cdot 100=77.5\%

6)

During a collision, the total momentum of the system is always conserved before and after the collision. So we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 =(m_1+m_2)v

where

m_1=212 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1=8.00 m/s is the initial velocity of the first car

m_2=196 kg is the mass of the 2nd car

u_2=6.75 m/s is the initial velocity of the 2nd car

v is the final velocity of the two cars stuck together (after the collision, they move together)

Solving the equation for v, we find:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 +m_2 u_2}{m_1 +m_2}=\frac{(212)(8.00)+(196)(6.75)}{212+196}=7.40 m/s

7)

The relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

For the wave in the string in this problem we have:

\lambda=0.23 m (wavelength)

f = 12 Hz (frequency)

So, the speed of the wave is:

v=(12)(0.23)=2.76 m/s

8)

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

c=f\lambda

where:

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

For the blue light in this problem, we have

f=6.2\cdot 10^{14}Hz (frequency)

while the speed of light is

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

So, the wavelength of blue light is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{6.2\cdot 10^{14}}=4.8\cdot 10^{-7} m

9)

The sound wave in this problem travels with uniform motion (=constant velocity), therefore we can use the following equation:

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered by the wave

v is the speed of the wave

t is the time elapsed

In this problem:

v = 343 m/s is the speed of the sound wave

t = 0.287 s is the time elapsed

So, the distance covered by the wave is

d=(343)(0.287)=98.4 m

Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of
natka813 [3]
Potassium will loss it's electron because it have a character of electropositively therefore it's electron will transfer to flouren which will make stable and complete of it's electro configuration. Now potassium will have negative charge due to loss it's outer most electron on it's orbit and flourine will take negatively charge too because of complete it's outer most shell to be completed.(But we have to know that at first flourine was had a positive charge because of not completed of it's outer most shell)

A student has two compounds in two separate bottles but with no labels on either one. One is an unbranched alkane, octane, C8H18
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a) both substances are insoluble in water

b) both substances are soluble in ligroin

c) both substances suffer combustion, octane produces more CO₂ than hexene.

d) both substances are less dense than waterl, with hexene having the lowest density.

e) only hexene would react with bromine

f)  only hexene would react with permanganate

Explanation:

a) both substances are non-polar and water is polar

b) both substances are non-polar and lingroin is non-polar

c) C₈H₁₈ + 17.5O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O

    C₆H₁₂ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

d) water = 997 kg/m³

    ocatne = 703 kg/m³

    hexene = 673 kg/m³

e) bromine test is used to detect unsaturations

f) permanganate test is used to detect unsaturations
