Answer:

D. Principle of original horizontality

B. Principle of faunal succession

A. Uniformitarianism

C. Principle of superposition

Explanation:

Question 1

The principle of original horizontality is one of the foremost relative dating principle that is wide used in stratigraphy.

It states that "sedimentary rocks are laid down flatly on top one another in a sedimentary basin".

Sedimentary rocks will only vary vertically, but laterally, they are uniform and internally homogeneous in space. This is why most sedimentary rocks are stratified and laid layers upon layers just like the pages of a book.

Each layer is called a bed and often times are laterally continuous in space within the same basin.

Whenever we see beds not horizontally continuous, we can conclude that a tectonic event must have disrupted the sequence and it came after the it was formed.

Question 2

Principle of faunal succession succession was proposed by Williams Smith, an English Geologist and a canal worker in the 19th century.

Based on this principle, sedimentary rocks can placed in their proper chronostratigrahic framework based on the fossils they contain in them.

  • This principle is hinged on theory of evolution.
  • It is widely accepted that organisms evolved from one another.
  • Rocks often bear these records in fossil remains and this can help us appropriately fit rocks to the time they were formed.

Question 3

The principle of uniformitarianism was one of the disruptive proposition in earth science.

A Scottish name James Hutton while in the country side made this proposition as he observed how landform in his native changed with each episode of season.

The principle proposes that "the processes occurring today have occurred in the time past at the same rate".

This way, it was much more easier to understand how land changes in pre-historic times have occurred.

Before his theory, the principle of catastrophism was the widely accepted one. This theory suggested that events occurred rapidly and changes to the surface are much more faster.

Question 4

The principle of superposition is one of the relative dating principles. It proposes that "in an undeformed land sequence, the oldest rock is at the bottom and the youngest on top".

The first sediment to get deposited fills the bottom as it aggregates upward. This leaves the youngest lithology to the top of strata.

The principle is correct for undeformed or undisturbed rock strata.

Where the sediments are disturbed, the formation might be overturned and this principle might be difficult to apply.

A 15.0 Ohms resistor is connected in series to a 120V generator and two 10.0 Ohms resistors that are connected in parallel to ea
Nostrana [21]

Hi there! :)

Reference the diagram below for clarification.

1.

We must begin by knowing the following rules for resistors in series and parallel.

In series:
R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n

In parallel:
\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_n}

We can begin solving for the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel using the parallel rules.

\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\R_{T, parallel} = 5\Omega

Now that we have reduced the parallel resistors to a 'single' resistor, we can add their equivalent resistance with the other resistor in parallel (15 Ohm) using series rules:
R_T = 15 + 5\\\\\boxed{R_T = 20 \Omega}

2.

We can use Ohm's law to solve for the current in the circuit.

i = \frac{V}{R_T}\\\\i = \frac{120}{20} = \boxed{6 A}

3.

For resistors in series, both resistors receive the SAME current.

Therefore, the 15Ω resistor receives 6A, and the parallel COMBO (not each individual resistor, but the 5Ω equivalent when combined) receives 6A.

In this instance, since both of the resistors in parallel are equal, the current is SPLIT EQUALLY between the two. (Current in parallel ADDS UP). Therefore, an even split between 2 resistors of 6 A is <u>3A for each 10Ω resistor</u>.

4.

Since the 15.0 Ω resistor receives 6A, we can use Ohm's Law to solve for voltage.

V = iR\\\\V = (6)(15) = \boxed{90 V}

What’s the answer to question 12 please
matrenka [14]

Answer:

C) amplitude

Explanation:

"The amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave. For example, when looking at a sound wave, the amplitude will measure the loudness of the sound. The energy of the wave also varies in direct proportion to the amplitude of the wave."-Ducksters

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?
Fiesta28 [93]
Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft=  3.56 10^{-9} second or 3.56 nanosecond

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
suter [353]

Answer:

B) 20N.s is the correct answer

Explanation:

The formula for the impulse is given as:

Impulse = change in momentum

Impulse = mass × change in speed

Impulse = m × ΔV

Given:

initial speed  = 40m/s

Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)

mass = 0.20 kg

Thus, we have

Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)

Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
