Answer:

A. a fossil that can be used to establish the absolute age of a rock layer

Explanation:

An index fossil happens when a plant or animal is preserved in the rock record of the Earth. It needs to be characteristic of a particular span of time or environment. For it to be really useful, the index fossil should be easily recognizable, abundant over a large area, and be present for only a short time period. Index fossils are the basis for defining boundaries in the geologic time scale and for the correlation of strata.

Which solution has the highest boiling point at standard pressure?
artcher [175]
<span>The correct answer is 3: 0.10 M K3PO4(aq). The higher the concentration (or molarity), the higher the boiling point. Thus, the solution with the most moles will have the highest boiling point. SO4, PO4, and NO3 are all polyatomic ions, so by definition, they only have one mole. In K3PO4, K3 has 3 moles and PO4 has 1 mole, meaning all together it has 4 moles (more than any of the other options).</span>

Which would exert more pressure on the floor, a 100kg man wearing snow shoes or a 60kg woman wearing high heels? PLEASE EXPLAIN
iris [78.8K]

Pressure can be defined as the force acting on a perpendicular surface per unit area.

Force exerted by a man of mass 100 kg wearing snow shoes = m.a

Where m = mass of the man = 100 kg

a = acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s^{2}

Force exerted by the man of mass 100 kg = 100 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 980 N

Force exerted by woman of mass 60 kg = 60 kg(9.8 m/s^{2}) = 588 N

Force exerted by 100 kg man is greater than that exerted as 60 kg woman. The area on which this force is acting determines the pressure. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which the force acts. Therefore, the pressure exerted by 100 kg man wearing snow shoes is less than the pressure exerted by a 60 kg woman woman wearing high heels as the force acts over a larger area when the man wears snow shoes when compared to the force exerted over a smaller area in case of the woman wearing high heels.
