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.

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.

A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 1.6 cm -diameter electrodes spaced 2.8 mm apart. The electric field strength insid
lidiya [134]

Answer:

12 nC

Explanation:

Capacity of the parallel plate capacitor

C = ε₀ A/d

ε₀ is constant having value of 8.85 x 10⁻¹² , A area of plate , d is distance between plate

Area of plate = π r²

= 3.14 x (0.8x 10⁻²)²

= 2 x 10⁻⁴

C = ( 8.85 X 10⁻¹² x 2 x 10⁻⁴ ) / 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 7.08 x 10⁻¹³

Potential difference between plate = field strength x distance between plate

= 6 x 10⁶ x 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 16.8 x 10³ V

Charge on plate = CV

=7.08 x 10⁻¹³ X 16.8 X 10³

11.9 X 10⁻⁹ C

12 nC .

Suppose that the acceleration of a model rocket is proportional to the difference between 160 ft/sec and the rocket's velocity.
Levart [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given ,

dv / dt = k ( 160 - v )

dv / ( 160 - v ) = kdt

ln ( 160 - v ) = kt + c , where c is a constant

when t = 0 , v = 0

Putting the values , we have

c = ln 160

ln ( 160 - v ) = kt + ln 160

ln ( 160 - v / 160 ) = kt

(160 - v ) / 160 = e^{kt}

1 - v / 160 = e^{kt }

v / 160 = 1 - e^{kt }

v = 160 ( 1 - e^{kt } )

differentiating ,

dv / dt = - 160k e^{kt }

acceleration a   = - 160k e^{kt }

given when t = 0 , a = 280

280 = - 160 k

k = - 175

a = - 160 x - 175 e^{kt}

a = 28000 e^{kt}

when a = 128  t = ?

128 = 28000 e^{kt}

e^{kt } = .00457
