How are scientists able to measure the age of earth?

Physics
1 answer:
RoseWind [281]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Through the uranium-lead dating, you can establish the age of rocks that formed from 1 million years ago to 4.5 billion years with enough precision. Dating meteorites using this method, It is possible to establish the age of the earth, since these are pieces that are present since the formation of the solar system, so they are approximately the same age as the Earth.

Runner A is initially 5.7 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.9 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

Explanation:

given data

distance A = 5.7 km  west

velocity V1 = 8.9 km/h

distance B = 4.5 km  east

velocity V2 = 7 km/h

to find out

How far runners from the flagpole, when paths cross

solution

we know A and B are 5.7 + 4.5 = 10.2 km apart

and we consider here B will run distance x km for meet

so time will be for B is

time B = distance / velocity

time B = x / 7     ...................1

and

for A distance for meet = ( 10.2 - x ) km

so time A = distance / velocity

time A = ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9      .............2

now equating equation 1 and 2

time A = time B

x / 7  =   ( 10.2 - x )  / 8.9

x = 4.490

so distance of B run for meet is 4.490 km

so distance from the flagpole when their paths cross is 4.5 - 4.490 = 0.01 km

so B meet A 0.01 km east of flagpole

How do the amplitudes of a 120 decibel sound and a 100-decibel sound compare?​
NemiM [27]
The 120 decibel sound has more amplitude than the 100 decibel sound.

In Physics, the relation between amplitude and intensity is that the intensity of the wave is directly proportional to the square of its amplitude.

Use this free body diagram to help you find the magnitude of the force F2 needed to keep this block in static equilibrium. WILL
oksian1 [2.3K]
Static equilibrium means that all forces are equal, so make this easiest you want to break F1 into it's horizontal and vertical components. As there are no other forces acting in the horizontal, we know the horizontal component of F1 is 40N. This allows the vertical component to be found using pythagorus theorem. After finding the vertical and horizontal components, you just have to add the vertical components to find the difference between the up and down.
