Why would scientist use both relative and absolute dating

Physics
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago
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

Salt water is denser than fresh water. a ship floats in both fresh water and salt water. compared to the fresh water, the volume
gavmur [86]
The ship floats in water due to the buoyancy Fb that is given by the equation:

Fb=ρgV, where ρ is the density of the liquid, g=9.81 m/s² is the acceleration of the force of gravity and V is volume of the displaced liquid.

The density of fresh water is ρ₁=1000 kg/m³.

The density of salt water is in average ρ₂=1025 kg/m³.

To compare the volumes of liquids that are displaced by the ship we can take the ratio of buoyancy of salt water Fb₂ and the buoyancy of fresh water Fb₁.

The gravity force of the ship Fg=mg, where m is the mass of the ship and g=9.81  m/s², is equal to the force of buoyancy Fb₁ and Fb₂ because the mass of the ship doesn't change:
 
Fg=Fb₁ and Fg=Fb₂. This means Fb₁=Fb₂.

Now we can write:

Fb₂/Fb₁=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), since Fb₁=Fb₂, they cancel out:

1/1=1=(ρ₂gV₂)/(ρ₁gV₁), g also cancels out:

(ρ₂V₂)/(ρ₁V₁)=1, now we can input ρ₁=1000 kg/m³ and ρ₂=1025 kg/m³

(1025V₂)/(1000V₁)=1

1.025(V₂/V₁)=1

V₂/V₁=1/1.025=0.9756, we multiply by V₁

V₂=0.9756V₁

Volume of salt water V₂ displaced by the ship is smaller than the volume of sweet water V₁ because the force of buoyancy of salt water is greater than the force of fresh water because salt water is more dense than fresh water.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a   W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

b  W_{2.5} =  250 \  J

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

substituting values given in the question

=>   k  = \frac{16}{0.2}

=>   k  =  80 \ N /m

Generally the workdone  in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

       W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (3.5)^2

=>     W_{3.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80  *  (3.5)^2

=>    W_{3.5} = 490 \  J

Generally the workdone  in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

        W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  (2.5)^2

=>      W_{2.5} =  \frac{1}{2}  *  80 *  (2.5)^2

=>       W_{2.5} =  250 \  J
