Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.

It is 5.00 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10.0 k

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

An object is 39 cm away from a concave mirrors surface along the principles axis. If the mirrors focal length is 9.50 cm, how fa

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

12.6 cm

Explanation:

We can use the mirror equation to find the distance of the image from the mirror:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where here we have

f = 9.50 cm is the focal length

p = 39 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror

Solving the equation for q, we find:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{9.50 cm}-\frac{1}{39 cm}=0.080 cm^{-1}\\q = \frac{1}{0.080 cm}=12.6 cm$

In what ways does a stream transport its load, and which part of the load moves most slowly? Select all that apply.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: A stream transports its materials in different ways-

Dissolved load- Here, the materials gets dissolved when mixed with water and flows along with the stream.
Suspended load- Here, the materials are not fully dissolved in the water but they can be carried from one place to another in suspension mode, by the river.
Bed load- Bed load are transported in three different ways such as-

Sliding- here, the materials slides down along a curved surface under the water and carried away.
Rolling- here, the materials are solid and due to force exerted by water, it can roll and move to distant places.

Saltation- here, the materials are carried away in a series of jumps.

Thus, the most appropriate answer is option (B) i.e bedload.
