Why would scientist use both relative and absolute dating

1 answer:

6 0

Well, relative dating is the science determining the relative order of past events like the age of an object compared to another object without determining the absolute age. The absolute age is the process of determining an age on a specific chronology in archeology and geology. Some scientists prefer the terms chromatic or calendar dating, as the word absolute implies an unwarranted certainty or accuracy. Hope I helped

Elanso [62]

You can find the emf of the battery by using:

Q = CV.

Q = Charge in capacitor plates = 30μC
C = Capacitance of the capacitor = 30μF

V = Q/C = 30/30 = 1V

Ans: The emf of the battery = 1V.

A free negative charge released in an electric field will

SashulF [63]

Answer:

Will experience a force due to electric field.

Explanation:

When a free negative charge is released in an electric field it experiences a force due to the electric field in a direction opposite to the direction of the magnetic field.

According to Coulomb's law this force is mathematically given as:

$F=E.q$

and, electric field due to a charge is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0}.\frac{q}{r^2}$

where:

permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ m^{-3}.kg^{-1}.s^4.A^2$

q = magnitude of charge

r = radial distance from the charge
