Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

The conservation of momentum is most closely related to

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

<h2>B) Newton's 2nd law</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>From; force= mass × acceleration </h2><h2> f= m×a </h2><h2>where a(acceleration)= velocity/time</h2><h3> force = mv/t</h3><h3>But momentum(p) = Mass × velocity </h3><h2>hence force =p/t </h2><h3>that is Momentum = force × time ( Newton's 2nd law)</h3>

A supply bag is dropped from a rescue plane. After the bag falls for 3.2 seconds , what is the velocity of the bag?

loris [4]

Answer: -31.36 m/s

Explanation:

This is a problem of motion in one direction (specifically vertical motion), and the equation that best fulfills this approach is:

$V_{f}=V_{o}+a.t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity of the supply bag

$V_{o}=0$ is the initial velocity of the supply bag (we know it is zero because we are told it was "dropped", this means it goes to ground in free fall)

$a=g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (the negtive sign indicates the gravity is downwards, in the direction of the center of the Earth)

$t=3.2s$ is the time

Knowing this, let's solve (1):

$V_{f}=0+(-9.8m/s^{2})(3.2s)$ (2)

Finally:

$V_{f}=-31.36m/s$ Note the negative sign is because the direction of the bag is downwards as well.
