Index fossils are used to determine the relative ages of rock and fossils and are also used to define the boundaries between geologic periods.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fossils which are recognized as fossils guides or indicator fossils are used to classify and recognize geological or faunal periods, termed as index fossils. It must be of short vertical reach, wide geographic distribution and swift patterns in evolution. It helps to assess the rock layers ' age and helps to date other fossils found close and around them. For an instance, Ammonites were abundant in the Mesozoic period between 245 to 65 mya, they have not been found after the Cretaceous era, as they became endangered during the K-T extinction (65 mya).

An aircraft performs a maneuver called an "aileron roll." During this maneuver, the plane turns like a screw as it maintains a s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

0.17724 m/s²

Explanation:

D = Diameter of roll = Length of wing = 11 m

T = Time it takes to complete the circle = 35 s

Velocity

v=\frac{2\pi R}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi D}{T}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{\pi\times 11}{35}\\\Rightarrow v=0.98735\ m/s

Acceleration

a=\frac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0.98735^2}{\frac{11}{2}}\\\Rightarrow a=0.17724\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the tip of the plane is 0.17724 m/s²

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

\Delta V = E d

where

\Delta V is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m

d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m

Substituting, we find

\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V

For 1983 through 1989, the per capita consumption
Tresset [83]

Answer:

y = 43.55 + 2.15t

Explanation:

We were told that in 1983, the per capita consumption was 37.1 pounds, and in 1989 it was 50 pounds.

If we assume t = 0 corresponds to year 1980. Then, for 1983 it will be t = 3 and for 1989,it will be t = 9.

Thus, expressing the information as ordered pairs, we have; (3,37. 1) and (9,50).

Let us now find slope of the linear function:

m1 = (y2 - y1)/(t2 - t1)

m1 = (50 - 37.1)/(9 - 3)

m1 = 2.15

So, we can find the linear equation as;

y - 37.1 = 2.15(t - 3)

y = 37.1 + 2.15t - 6.45

y = 43.55 + 2.15t
