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.

Which of the following involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration? a. melting of a solid b. evaporatio
Mama L [17]

Explanation:

Since, entropy is the measure of degree of randomness. So, more randomly the molecules of a substance are moving more will be its entropy.

  • For example, when a solid melts then it means heat is absorbed by it due to which its molecules have gained energy. As a result, they collide with each other and hence, entropy will increase.
  • Evaporation of a liquid will also cause the liquid to change its state from liquid to gas. This means molecules will go far away from each other leading to an increase in the entropy.
  • Sublimation is a process of conversion of a solid into gaseous phase without going through liquid phase. So, in this case also entropy will increase due to gain in energy by the molecules of a solid.
  • In freezing, molecules of a substance come closer to each other and acquire less energy. Hence, entropy decreases.
  • Mixing is a process of combining two or more substances physically with each other. This leads to increase in entropy of a substance.
  • In separation molecules are separated from each other leading to a decrease in energy. Hence, entropy will also decrease.
  • Diffusion is a process in which molecules are able to rapidly move from one place to another. Hence, entropy increases when diffusion takes place.

Thus, we can conclude that melting of a solid, evaporation of a liquid, sublimation, mixing and diffusion involve an increase in the entropy of the system under consideration.

A. In your own words, define what a longitudinal wave is.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the the movement of the wave particle is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This simply means that the wave particles is in the same or opposite direction to the wave propagation.

B. Sound waves- These are longitudinal waves because its medium particles through which the sound is transported oscillates parallel to the direction of the movement of the sound wave.

A long solenoid of radius 3 cm has 1100 turns per meter. If the solenoid carries a current of 1.5 A, then calculate the magnetic
Arada [10]

Answer:

The magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The magnetic field B at the center of the solenoid is given by

B = μ₀ni where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m, n = number of turns per unit length of the solenoid = 1100 turns per meter and i = current in the solenoid = 1.5 A.

So B = μ₀ni

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1100 × 1.5 A

= 4π × 10⁻⁷H/m × 1650 A-turns/m

= 20734.5 × 10⁻⁷T  

= 2.07345 × 10⁻³ T

≅ 2.1  × 10⁻³ T

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2.1  × 10⁻³ T
