The closure temperature represents the point when isotopes are no longer free to move out of a crystal lattice.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The closure temperature can also be termed as blocking temperature. It is mostly used in radiometric dating. As the temperature decreases, below a certain point the isotopes may get freeze in their lattice positions. And there may be slowing of diffusion.

At the closure temperature, that rate of diffusion will be zero as the isotopes will be no longer free to move out of crystal lattice. So, this is termed as closure or blocking temperature. As the isotopes loose their ability to move, their concentration will remain fixed in their position leading to measurement of radiation dating.

A man pushes an 250-N crate at constant speed a distance of 30.0 m upward along a rough slope that makes an angle of 60° with th
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

6495.19 Joule

Explanation:

F = Weight of the crate = 250 N

d = Distance the cart is pushed = 30 m

θ = Angle of inclination = 60°

The weight of the crate will be resloved into two components

Fdsinθ and Fdcosθ

Work done by the force of gravity is

W = Fdsinθ

⇒W = 250×30×sin60

⇒W = 6495.19 Joule

∴ The work done by the force of gravity is 6495.19 Joule

which do you think would be warmer on a winter day when there is no wind a thick forest or a grassy field? explain your answer
Tju [1.3M]
I think it would be warmer in a grassy field with no wind on a winter day because you'll have sunlight hitting you. However, if you were in a thick forest, all sunlight would be blocked and you would have no warmth from the sun.

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new
sergiy2304 [10]
There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
F=qvBsin\theta
where \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
v=2v_0
