Explain how a volcanologist can piece together the history of a volcano by studying the rock that makes up the volcano

Physics
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
3 0
The rock, depending on which kind, metaphoric, sedimentary, or igneous, most likely igneous, the volcanologist can determine the age of the rock. The age of the rock says how long it has been in the volcano, for example, diamond is made in a volcano, finding how old it makes it rarer, and expensive and adds a lust to it too. Therefore, How old the rock is can determine how old approximately the volcano can be.

The earliest radio broadcasts on Earth were emitted about 100 years ago. Approximately where are these initial radio waves now?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

100 ly are d=9.454255\times10^{17}m

Explanation:

The speed of light is, by definition (we define this and derive a definition of distance from there nowadays), c=299792458m/s. We want to know, at this speed, how much distance the radio signals travel in 100 years. Since each year has 365 days (not a leap one though), each day has 24 hours, each hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, the number of seconds in a year will be (365)(24)(60)(60)=31536000, so the distance traveled by the waves in 100 years will be:

d=vt=(299792458m/s)(100)(31536000s)=9.454255\times10^{17}m, which, of course, are 100 light years.

Four weightlifters (A-D) enter a competition. The mass, distance, and time of their lifts are shown in the table.
siniylev [52]

Let Pa, Pb, Pc, and Pd be the powers delivered by weightlifters A, B, C, and D, respectively.

Use this equation to determine each power value:

P = W÷Δt

P is the power, W is the work done by the weightlifter, and Δt is the elapsed time.

A) Determining Pa:

Pa = W÷Δt

The weightlifter does work to lift the weight up a certain distance. Therefore the work done is equal to the weight's gain in gravitational potential energy. The equation for gravitational PE is

PE = mgh

PE is the potential energy, m is the mass of the weight, g is the acceleration of objects due to earth's gravity, and h is the distance the weight was lifted.

We can equate W = PE = mgh, therefore we can make the following substitution:

Pa = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 100.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 2.25m

Δt = 0.151s

Plug in the values and solve for Pa

Pa = 100.0×9.81×2.25÷0.151

<u>Pa = 14600W</u> (watt is the SI derived unit of power)

B) Determining Pb:

Let us use our new equation derived in part A to solve for Pb:

Pb = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 150.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.76m

Δt = 0.052s

Plug in the values and solve for Pb

Pb = 150.0×9.81×1.76÷0.052

<u>Pb = 49800W</u>

C) Determining Pc:

Pc = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 200.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.50m

Δt = 0.217s

Plug in the values and solve for Pc

Pc = 200.0×9.81×1.50÷0.217

<u>Pc = 13600W</u>

D) Determining Pd:

Pd = mgh÷Δt

Given values:

m = 250.0kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 1.25m

Δt = 0.206s

Plug in the values and solve for Pd

Pd = 250.0×9.81×1.25÷0.206

<u>Pd = 14900W</u>

Compare the following power values:

Pa = 14600W, Pb = 49800W, Pc = 13600W, Pd = 14900W

Pc is the lowest value.

Therefore, weightlifter C delivers the least power.

A proton, which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, can be modeled as a sphere with a diameter of 2.4 fm and a mass of 1.67 10-27
Step2247 [10]
For the answer to the question above asking to d<span>etermine the density of the proton. 
</span>Density is mass over volume. 

The volume of a sphere is 4πr³/3. r is half the diameter. 

So the density would be 2.3×10¹⁷ kg/m³. 
I hope my answer helped you. Feel free to ask more questions. Have a nice day!
