I think the answer is Fossils formed gradually over time.
Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer: Fossils range from simple to complex across rock layers.

Explanation:

The finding of the fossils in the different layers of the earth crust suggests that the evolution of the living organisms from simple primitive one to the most complex organisms. The examination and determination of the morphological, anatomical and molecular features of the organisms in the fossils have helped in determining the chronological age and has also been helped in determination of the age of earth with respect to the fossils.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67×10^(−27)kg, charge +e=+1.60×10^(−19)C) is fired directly at a target nucleu
Arte-miy333 [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67 \times 10^(-27)kg, charge +e = +1.60 \times 10^(-19) C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed 2.50 \times 10^6 m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance 5.31 \times 10^(-13) m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m apart?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of proton = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

Charge of proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Speed of proton = 2.50 \times 10^{6} m/s

Distance traveled = 5.31 \times 10^{-13} m

We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.

  (K.E + P.E)_{initial} = (K.E + P.E)_{final}

 (\frac{1}{2} m_{p}v^{2}_{p}) = (\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} + 0)

where,    \frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} = U = Electric potential energy

     U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

        U = (\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})

            = (\frac{1}{2} \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times (2.5 \times 10^{6})^{2})

            = 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J

Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is 5.218 \times 10^{-15} J.

Which is a negative effect of deforestation on the environment? A. habitat restoration B. desertification C. soil production D.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:Deforestation refers to the decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities. Greatly accelerated by human activities since 1960, deforestation has been negatively affecting natural ecosystems, biodiversity, and the climate. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization estimates the annual rate of deforestation to be around 1.3 million km2 per decade.
