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

neonofarm [45]3 years ago

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.

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati
Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

p:q = h_o : h_i

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

h_o = 8 m is the heigth of the object

h_i is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm


2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}

so, in this problem we have

M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025

The ability of solid rock to flow is called _____.
zysi [14]
The ability of solid rock to flow is called Plasticity.

Plasticity is the deformation of a solid mateial which resulted in non reversible changes of shape in response to applied force.

Another example of plasticity is when you bend metal through a forcer force to create an art or kitchen set

Friction always acts____ and in the ____ direction of the motion of an object ​
Fed [463]

Answer:

Friction force always acts tangent to the surface at points of contact. Friction force acts opposite to the direction of motion. There are 2 types of friction: Static friction: If the two surfaces in contact do not move relative to each other, one has static friction.

. Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connecte
Umnica [9.8K]

Given :

Reem took a wire of length 10 cm. Her friend Nain took a wire of 5 cm of the same material and thickness both of them connected with wires as shown in the circuit given in figure. The current flowing in both the circuits is the same.

To Find :

Will the heat produced in both the cases be equal.

Solution :

Heat released is given by :

H = i²Rt

Here, R is resistance and is given by :

R = \dfrac{\rho L}{A}

So,

H = i^2\times \dfrac{\rho L}{A} t\\\\H = \dfrac{i^2\rho Lt}{A}

Now, in the question every thing is constant except for the length of the wire and from above equation heat is directly proportional to the length of the wire.

So, heat produced by Reem's wire is more than Nain one.

Hence, this is the required solution.
