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.

The student soon loses his balance and falls backwards off the board at a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Assuming momentum is conserved in
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

v2 = 27.3m/s

Explanation:

Assuming forward as positive.

Mass = m1 = 64kg

Let v be the common velocity of the student and the skateboard.

mass of skateboard = m2 = 5.94kg

v = 1.4m/s

Since the skateboard and the student are initially moving together at the same velocity their momentum together is

(m1 + m2)v

Let the final velocity of the student be v1 and the final velocity of the skateboard be v2

v1 = – 1.0m/s (falls backwards that's why the velocity is negative since we are assuming forward as positive)

Then from conservation of momentum, momentum before is equal to momentum after.

(m1 + m2)v = m1v1 + m2v2

m2v2= (m1 + m2)v – m1v1

v2 = ( (m1 + m2)v – m1v1)/m2

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 – 64×(-1.0))/5.94

v2 = ( (64 + 5.94)×1.4 + 64×1.0)/5.94

v2 = 27.3m/s

A uniform brick of length 21 m is placed over
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

15.75 m

Explanation:

First, let's look at the top brick by itself.  In order for it not to tip over the bottom brick, its center of gravity must be right at the edge of the bottom brick.  So the edge of the top brick must be 10.5 m from the edge of the bottom brick.

Now let's look at both bricks as a combined mass.  We know the total length of this combined brick is 10.5 m + 21 m = 31.5 m.  And we know that for it to not tip over the edge of the surface, its center of gravity must be at the edge.  So the edge of the combined brick must be 31.5 m / 2 = 15.75 m from the edge of the surface.

Which is an inertial reference frame (or at least a very good approximation of one)? Which is an inertial reference frame (or at
ioda

Answer:

A jet plane flying straight and at level at constant speed

Explanation:

     The<em> inertial frame </em>of reference is a frame of reference in which all <em>Newton law  is valid</em> ie Newton second law of motion and therefore newton first law of motion holds good. <em>The frame of reference does not accelerate.</em>

All the object that is in the frame of reference are at rest or moving with constant rectilinear motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by any force.
