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.

A dock worker loading crates on a ship finds that a 27 kg crate, initially at rest on a horizontal surface, requires a 80 N hori
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:0.302

Explanation:

Given

mass of crate m=27 kg

Force required to set crate in motion is 80 N

Once the crate is set  in motion 56 N is require to move it with constant velocity

i.e. 80 N is the amount of force needed to just overcome static friction and 56 is the kinetic friction force

thus  

f_s(static\ friction)=\mu \cdot N

where \muis the coefficient of static friction and N is Normal reaction

N=mg

f_s=\mu mg

\mu mg=80

\mu =\frac{80}{27\times 9.8}

\mu =0.302

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an
posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle \theta=30°

We need to calculate the angle in radian

\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}

\theta=0.523\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

Path\ length =angle\times radius

Path\ length=0.523\times5.9

Path\ length =3.09\ m

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=30\times5.9

Path\ length=177\ m

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

\theta=30\times2\pi

\theta=188.4\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=188.4\times5.9

Path\ length =1111.56\ m

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

3. Write any two types of force.​
Lerok [7]

Answer:

An <u>applied force</u> is a force that is applied to an object by a person or another object. If a person is pushing a desk across the room, then there is an applied force acting upon the object. The applied force is the force exerted on the desk by the person.

A <u>friction force</u> is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it. There are at least two types of friction force - sliding and static friction. Though it is not always the case, the friction force often opposes the motion of an object. For example, if a book slides across the surface of a desk, then the desk exerts a friction force in the opposite direction of its motion. Friction results from the two surfaces being pressed together closely, causing intermolecular attractive forces between molecules of different surfaces. As such, friction depends upon the nature of the two surfaces and upon the degree to which they are pressed together. The maximum amount of friction force that a surface can exert upon an object can be calculated using the formula below:

F_{frict} = µ • F_{norm}

Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of
bogdanovich [222]
Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of gamma rays.

Gamma rays arise from the radioactive decay of nuclei. They are penetrating electromagnetic radiations consisting of very high energy photons.
Gamma rays are ionizing radiations and have very serious biological dangers and hazards (due to their ability of ionizing the atoms).
