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.

Answer:

The energy absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom is $7.84 \times 10^{-19}$ J

Explanation:

Given:

Potential $V = 4.9$ V

According to the conservation law,

Loss in kinetic energy = Gain in potential energy

Here, energy absorbed by the atomic electrons is given by,

$E = eV$

Where $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$ ( charge of electron )

$E = 1.6 \times 10^{-19 } \times 4.9$

$E = 7.84 \times 10^{-19}$ J

Therefore, the energy absorbed by the atomic electrons in the mercury atom is $7.84 \times 10^{-19}$ J

Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.

Sholpan [36]

The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

A brick of mass 2.0kg is at rest. It falls to the ground through a

Lisa [10]

Answer:

I may not have the answer so i'll just give up some hints.

Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s. Choose how long the object is falling. In this example, we will use the time of 8 seconds. Calculate the final free fall speed (just before hitting the ground) with the formula v = v₀ + gt = 0 + 9.80665 * 8 = 78.45 m/s . Find the free fall distance using the equation s = (1/2)gt² = 0.5 * 9.80665 * 8² = 313.8 m .h = 0.5 * 9.8 * (1.5)^2 = 11m. b. V = gt = 9.8 * 1.5 = 14.7m/s. A feather and brick dropped together. Air resistance causes the feather to fall more slowly. If a feather and a brick were dropped together in a vacuum—that is, an area from which all air has been removed—they would fall at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.When an object's point is taller the thing that is going down it will go faster than when the point is lower. EXAMPLE: The object is the tennis ball if you drop it down the higher hill it will be faster than if you drop it down a shorter hill. In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

I hope my little bit (big you may say) hint help you with your question.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The smallest part of a millimeter that can be read with a digital caliper with a four digit display is 0.02mm. Thus, it has to be converted to centimetre. So, divide by 10, we then have 0.02/10= *0.002cm* not mm.
