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.

Roughly to what height would a 5 kg stone need to be raised in order to have the same stored energy as the energy stored in the
hoa [83]

8.16m is the required height, a 5kg stone need to be raised.

One sort of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, which is equal to the product of the object's mass (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the object's height (h) as measured in relation to the ground's surface (the body).

We obtain the formula by considering the work done in raising a mass m through a height h.

Work in elevating mass m through height h is equal to force times distance.

The force must be greater than the mass m's weight, hence F = mg.

Work done = mgh = gravitational potential energy

Energy =  Mass of the object × gravitational acceleration × height.

Mass of the stone = 5kg

Equating ;

∴ 400 J = 5 kg × 9.8 m/s² × height

  Height = 8.16 m

Therefore, 8.16m is the required height.

A skater is using very low friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee at her, on the straight line along which she is coas
kupik [55]

Answer:

a)  perfectly inelastic,  b)  collision is inelastic,  c)   elastic  

Explanation:

In this exercise, it is asked to identify what type of shock occurs between the skater and the frisbee, for this we must define a system formed by the skater and the fribee, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the amount of movement is preserved

Initial instant. Before the skater touches the frisbee

    p₀ = M v₁ + m v₂

where M and m are the masses of the skater and frisbee, respectively

for the final moment they give us several possibilities, in all case the moment is conserved

       p₀ = p_{f}

case a)

Final instant. grabs the frisbee and holds it

    p_{f} = (M + m) v '

     p₀ = p_{f}

We can see that this shock is perfectly inelastic, it holds the fressbee

case b)

final instant.

This case is similar to the previous one, but the final speed of fresbee is zero, therefore this collision is inelastic and the kinetic energy is not conserved.

case c)

final instant. Grab the fressbee and resend it

      p_{f} = M v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

this is an elastic Shock since the equivalent of a rebound of the fressbee, the kinetic energy is conserved.

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance
const2013 [10]

<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as  phase change or change of state.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.

Calculate the kinetic energy that the earth has because of (a) its rotation about its own axis and (b) its motion around the sun
Dominik [7]

Answer:

a. K_{Axis}=2.574x10^{29}J

b. K_{Orbit}=2.6577x10^{33}J

Explanation:

K_{Axis}=\frac{1}{2}I*w^2

I_{Sphere}=\frac{2}{5}*m*r^2

w=\frac{2\pi }{T} , T=24hrs*\frac{3600s}{1hr} =86400s

radius earth = 6371 km

mass earth = 5,972*10^24 kg

a.

K_{Axis}=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{2}{5}*m*r^2*(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2

K_{axis}=\frac{4\pi^2}{5}*5.98x10^{24}kg*(6.38x10^6m)^2*(\frac{1}{86400s})^2

K_{Axis}=2.574x10^{29}J

b.

T=1year*\frac{365day}{1year}*\frac{24hr}{1day}*\frac{3600s}{1hr}=31536000s

K_{Orbit}=\frac{1}{2}*I*w

I=m*r^2

K_{Orbit}=\frac{1}{2}*m*r^2*(\frac{2\pi}{T})^2

K_{Orbit}=\frac{4\pi^2}{5}*5.98x10^{24}*6.38x10^6m*(\frac{1}{31.536x10^6s})^2

K_{Orbit}=2.6577x10^{33}J
