If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure

about the ages of the two layers?
Physics
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

At 2km/h*s it is changing speed every 2 seconds.

At 4km/h*s it is changing speed every 4 seconds.

At 10km/h*s it is changing speed every 10 seconds.

9) A bug of mass 0.020 kg is at rest on the edge of a solid cylindrical disk (M = 0.10 kg, R = 0.10 m) rotating in a horizontal
natima [27]

Answer:

a. ω₂ = 14rad/s

b. ∇K.E = 0.014J

c. The bug does not conserve force while moving on the disk (non-conservative force).

Explanation:

Mass of the bug (m) = 0.02kg

Mass of the cylindrical disk (M) = 0.10kg

Radius of the disk (r) = 0.10m

Initial angular velocity ω₁ = 10rad/s

final angular velocity ω₂ = ?

a.

To calculate the new angular velocity, we relate it to the conservation of angular momentum of the system I.e when the bug was at the edge of the disk and when it is located at the centre of the disk.

I = Mr² / 2

I₁ = Mr₂ / 2 + mr²

I₁ = moment of inertia when the bug was at the edge

I₁ = [(0.10 * 0.10²) / 2 ] + (0.02 * 0.1²)

I₁ = 0.0005 + 0.0002

I₁ = 7.0*10⁻⁴kgm²

I₂ = moment of inertia when yhe bug was at the center of the disk.

I₂ = Mr² / 2

I₂ = (0.01 * 0.01²) 2

I₂ = 0.0005kgm²

for conservation of angular momentum,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

solve for ω₂

ω₂ = (I₁ * ω₁) / I₂

ω₂ = (7.0*10⁻⁴ * 10) / 5.0*10⁻⁴

ω₂ = 14 rad/s

b. the change in kinetic energy of the system is

∇K = K₂ - K₁

∇K = ½I₂*ω₂² - ½I₁*ω₁²

∇K = ½(I₂*ω₂² - I₁ω₁²)

∇K = ½[(5.0*10⁻⁴ * 14²) - (7.0*10⁻⁴ * 10²)]

∇k = ½(0.098 - 0.07)

∇K = ½ * 0.028

∇K = 0.014J

c.

The cause of the decrease and increase in kinetic energy is because the bug uses a non-conservative force. To conserve the mechanical energy of a system, all the forces acting in it must be conservative.

The work W produced by this force brings the difference in kinetic energy of the system

W = K₂ - K₁
