Answer:

False. It doesn't give the exact age of the rock layers.

Explanation:

Geologists define relative dating as the sequence in which rocks are arranged. Rock layers are called strata and relative dating can't give the exact age of these layers.
It's assumed that the old rock layers will be at the bottom while the new rock layers will be at the top. This is described as superposition principle.
Normally, these sedimentary rock layers appear in a horizontal manner although they can slightly tilt.

A car traveling at a speed of 30.0 m/s encounters an emergency and comes to a complete stop in 7.5 seconds? What is the cars acc

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The acceleration is: $4m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$u = 30.0m/s$ --- The initial velocity

$t = 7.5s$ --- time

$v = 0m/s$ -- The final velocity

Required

Determine the acceleration

To do this, we make use of the first equation of motion

$v = u - at$

We used negative because the car was coming to stop.

This gives:

$0 = 30 - 7.5 * a$

$0 = 30 - 7.5a$

Collect like terms

$7.5a = 30$

Solve for a

$a = \frac{30}{7.5}$

$a = 4m/s^2$

What is the difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm

Zanzabum

Answer:

The difference in mass between 3.01×10^24 atoms of gold and a gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm is :

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g

Explanation:

Part I :

$n =\frac{3.01\times 10^{24}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

n = 4.9983

n = 4.99 moles

(Note : You can also take n = 5 mole )

Molar mass of gold = 196.96 g/mole

This means, 1 mole of gold(Au) contain = 196.96 grams

So, 4.99 moles of gold contain = $5\times 196.96$ g

4.99 moles of gold contain = 984.8 g

Mass of ${3.01\times 10^{24}}$ atoms of gold = 984.5 g

Part II :

Density of Gold = $19.32 g/cm^{3}$

Volume of the cuboid = $length\times breadth\times height$

Volume of the gold bar = $6.00\times 4.25\times 2.00$

Volume of the gold bar = 51 $cm^{3}$

Using formula,

$Density = \frac{mass}{Volume}$

$Mass = Density\times Volume$

$Mass = 19.32 \times 51$

Mass = 985.32 g

So, A gold bar with the dimensions 6.00 cm X 4.25 cm X 2.00 cm has mass of 985.32 g

Difference in mass = 985.32 - 984.5 = 0.82 g

• Describe how ultrasound and infrasound are used in specific industrial applications and provide detailed examples.

xeze [42]

Ultrasound is sound or vibrations, having an ultrasonic frequency, particularly as used in medical imaging. Ultrasound is more commonly used in medical terminology than in industry. Infrasound is sound waves with frequencies below the lower limit of human audibility.
