The answer is:

Scientists now think the earth is much older.

The explanation:

-The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%) This age may represent the age of the Earth’s accretion, of core formation, or of the material from which the Earth formed.This dating is based on evidence from radiometric age-dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.

-Following the development of radiometric age-dating in the early 20th century, measurements of lead in uranium-rich minerals showed that some were in excess of a billion years old.

Does specific heat of a substance depend on its temperature?​
lara [203]

Answer:

temperature

Explanation:

In general, the specific heat also depends on the temperature. The table below lists representative values of specific heat for various substances. Except for gases, the temperature and volume dependence of the specific heat of most substances is weak.

A car starts to move from rest and covers a distance of 360m in one minute. Calculate the acceleration of the car.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<h2>The acceleration of car is 0.2 ms⁻²</h2>

Explanation:

When the car moves , the distance covered is calculated by the relation

S = u t + \frac{1}{2} a t²

In this question u = 0 , because car was at rest initially

Thus S =  \frac{1}{2} a t²

here S is displacement and a is the acceleration of car

Therefore  360 =  \frac{1}{2} a ( 60 )²

Because time taken is one minute or 60 seconds

Therefore a = \frac{360x2}{3600}

or a = 0.2 m s⁻²

A 2000 kg car experiences a braking force of 10000N and skids to a 14 m stop. What was the speed of the car just before the brak
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

V = 11.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 2000 kg

Force = 10000N

Distance = 14 m

To find the final velocity of the car;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car;

Acceleration = force/mass

Acceleration = 10000/2000

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

Next, we would use the third equation of motion to find the final velocity;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Where;

V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.

U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

S represents the displacement measured in meters.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V² = 0² + 2*5*14

V² = 0 + 140

V = √140

V = 11.83 m/s
