<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. Determining the order of rock layers

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Relative dating is a technique that is used in determining the age of a fossil by comparing its placement with that of fossils in other layers or rock. </u></em>Relative dating therefore tell us about the age of a rock compared to another rock.
Relative dates arranges geological events, and the rocks left behind, in a particular sequence.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance $d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m$

Speed of the comet $V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$

At distance $d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m$

where;

mass of the sun = $1.98 \times 10^{30}$

$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}$

To find the speed $V_f$ :

Using the formula:

$E_f = E_i + W \\ \\ where; \ \ W = 0 \ \ \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}$

$E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\ K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 + \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [ \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}$

$V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [ \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}$

$\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}$

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h

raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory ( $u_x$ ) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

$u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2$

Where, $u_x\ and\ u_y$ are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

$(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1$

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

$H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}$

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

$H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m$

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Which planet is known as evening star

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Mercury is a metal that is used in

Mercury can be seen as an evening "star" near the sun's setting point or as a morning "star" near the sun's rising point. The evening star was given the name Hermes, and the morning star was given the name Apollo, since the ancient Greeks thought they were two separate things. Mercury, the Roman god's messenger, is the planet's name.

There are two containers of equal volumes, each filled with a different gas. Both containers have the same number of moles of ga

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Molecules in container 2 has a higher pressure.

Molecules in container 2 has a greater rms speed.

Molecules in container 2 has a greater kinetic energy.

Molecules in container 2 has a greater thermal energy.

Explanation:

At constant volume and temperature, The number of moles of a gas is proportional to its pressure.

The lower the pressure, the lesser the rms speed of molecules, kinetic energy of the molecules and thermal energy of the molecules, hence the answer above.
