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?

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.

Doc Brown has calculated his Delorean can accelerate at a rate of 2.52 m/s/s. How
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

304.89m

Explanation:

Given

acceleration a = 2.52m/s²

final speed v = 39.2m/s

initial speed = 0m/s (car accelerates from rest)

Using the equation of motion below to get the distance of Doc brown from Marty;

v² = u²+2as

substitute the given parameters

39.2² = 0²+2(2.52)s

1536.64 = 0+5.04s

divide both sides by 5.04

1536.64/5.04 = 5.04s/5.04

rearrange the equation

5.04s/5.04 = 1536.64/5.04

s = 304.89m

Hence He and Marty must stand at 304.89m to allow the car to accelerate from rest to a speed  of 39.2 m/s?

Ans of this question A test charge of 1 couloumb moved from 30cm against the field of intensity 50N/c find the energy store in i
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

Given data,

The charge of the test charge, q = 1 C

The distance the charge moved against the filed of intensity, x = 30 cm

                                                                                                        = 0.3 m

The electric field intensity, E = 50 N/C

The energy stored in the charge at 0.3 m is given by the formula,

                                V = k q/r

Where,                        

                                     = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²C⁻²

The charge is moved from the potential V₁ to V₂ at 30 cm

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                            V₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x 30 / 0.3

                                =  1.5 x 10¹² J

And,

                            V₂ = 1.5 x 10¹² J

The energy stored in it is,

                             W = V₂ - V₁

                                  = 0

Hence, the energy stored in the charge is, W = 0

Select three different examples of accelerated motion. a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed a body travel
IrinaVladis [17]
This is the same question that I just answered.

Have present the definition of acceleration:

         a = Δv / Δt, this is change in velocity per unit of time.

a and v are in bold to mean that they are vectors.

1) a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed: CORRECT:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, either magnitude or direction or both. So, a body increasing in speed is accelerated.

2) a body traveling in a straight line and decreasing in speed: CORRECT

A decrease in speed is a change in velocity, so it means acceleration.

3) a body traveling in a straight line at constant speed: FALSE.

That body is not changing either direction or speed so its motion is not accelerated but uniform.

4) a body standing still : FALSE.

That body is not changind either direction or speed.

5) a body traveling at a constant speed and changing direction: CORRECT.

The change in direction means that the body is accelerated. The acceleration due to change in direction is named centripetal acceleration.

3. Will the weight of a kg of iron in air and the weight of a kg of cotton in air
larisa [96]

Answer:

A kg of cotton is heavier.

Explanation:

Because in air, cotton gets upthrust that's why weighing machine gives less weight than its actually have.

for eg: If cotton has 800g weight, the machine shows a kg(1kg) when measure in air due to upthrust.

I hope this will be helpful for you.
