YOU WILL GET BRAINLIEST Geologists can determine the relative ages of sedimentary layers by using the Law of Superposition. This

law states that sedimentary layers are youngest on the top and oldest on the bottom. However, there are two exceptions to this law. Why do some sedimentary rock layers appear in a different order than the geologic Law of Superposition?
A. People excavate sedimentary rock layers to study them.

B. Folding and faulting change the orientation of sedimentary rock layers.

C. Gravity and deposition cause sedimentary rock layers to remain horizontal.

D. Weathering and erosion change the thickness of the sedimentary rock layers.

I personally think the answer is B.
<span>"Non- horizontal rock layers were tilted or folded after they were originally deposited; this makes the law of superposition challenging to use."</span>

Consider the points below. P(1, 0, 1), Q(−2, 1, 4), R(6, 2, 7) (a) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the poi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

<h2>a) </h2>

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B} gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors \vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q} and \vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)

\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \  \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \  \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \  \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = 0 \  \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)

<h2>B)</h2>

We know that \vec{A} and \vec{B} are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

|\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}

so:

\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}

\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}

35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}

17.55 \ units \  of \ area =  area_{triangle}

How much work would it take to push two protons very slowly from a separation of 2.00×10−10m (a typical atomic distance) to 3.00
laiz [17]

Answer:

Work= -7.68×10⁻¹⁴J

Explanation:

Given data

q₁=q₂=1.6×10⁻¹⁹C

r₁=2.00×10⁻¹⁰m

r₂=3.00×10⁻¹⁵m

To find

Work

Solution

The work done on the charge is equal to difference in potential energy

W=ΔU

Work=U_{1}-U_{2}\\ Work=-kq_{1}q_{2}[\frac{1}{r_{2}}-\frac{1}{r_{1}} ]\\Work=(-9*10^{9})*(1.6*10^{-19} )^{2}[\frac{1}{3.0*10^{-15} }-\frac{1}{2*10^{-10} } ]\\  Work=-7.68*10^{-14}J
