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).

The mercalli scale is a scale from ________.
Mashcka [7]
<h2>Answer: 1 to 12. </h2>

<u>The Mercalli seismological scale is a scale of 12 degrees</u>, where 1 is very weak and 12 catastrophic.

This scale owes its name to the Italian physicist Giuseppe Mercalli and was developed to assess the intensity of earthquakes through the effects and damages caused to different structures.

This means the <u>Mercalli scale measures how strong a earthquake has been by </u><u>its consequences and not by its magnitude</u><u>, therefore it is based on </u><u>empirical observations.</u>

Explain the correspondence that lets us easily translate between linear motion and rotational motion. What are the linear analog
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

The linear analog of angle is angle itself.

The linear analog of angular velocity is linear velocity.

ω is angular velocity, therefore linear velocity is given by v

∴ for linear velocity, v^{2} = u^{2}+2.a.S

   for angular velocity, \omega_{f}^{2}  = \omega _{i}^{2}+2.a.S

The linear analog of angular acceleration is acceleration.

α is angular acceleration whereas as a is linear acceleration.

∴ for linear acceleration, v = u + a.t

  for angular acceleration, \omega_{f}= \omega _{i}+\alpha .t

The linear analog of moment of inertia is mass.

I is moment of inertia and m is mass,

∴ for linear analog, F = m.a

  for angular analog, τ - I.α

During a plane showcase, a pilot makes circular "looping" with a speed equal to the sound speed (340 m/s). However, the pilot ca
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

1472.98 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of circular looping, v = 340 m/s

Acceleration, a = 8g

here,

g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Now,

the centripetal acceleration is given as,

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

r is the radius of the loop

on substituting the respective values, we get

8\times9.81=\frac{340^2}{r}

or

r = 1472.98 m
