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

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.

As a rain storm passes through a region, there is an associated drop in atmospheric pressure. If the height of a mercury baromet
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

Explanation:

given data

height = 21.6 mm = 0.0216 m

Normal atmospheric pressure = 1.013 ✕ 10^5 Pa

density of mercury = 13.6 g/cm³

to find out

atmospheric pressure

solution

we find first height of mercury when normal pressure that is

pressure p = ρ×g×h

put here value

1.013 × 10^{5}  = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × h

h =  0.759 m

so change in height Δh = 0.759 - 0.0216

new height H = 0.7374 m

so new pressure = ρ×g×H

put here value

new pressure = 13.6 × 10³ × 9.81 × 0.7374

atmospheric pressure = 98380.9584

so new atmospheric pressure is 0.9838 × 10^{5}  Pa

The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.259 of the speed of light.
Vladimir79 [104]
If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:

Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s

Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c

Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c

Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c

Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s

Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.

Answer: 27000 km/s
