Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earth's magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that were during their cooling period. Using radiometric dating, scientists estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
Explanation: The earth’s magnetic field impacts into the alignment of elements like iron in rocks due to Ferro-magnetization. This causes the elements to align in a north-south direction. Accordingly scientists have studied this alignment in ancient rocks, such as in the layers of sedimentary rocks, and realized that the earth magnetic field has flipped around 200,000 to 300,000 in the last 20 million years.
A pendulum is probably the most common showing of this example. As the pendulum swings down, it converts its potential energy (height) into kinetic energy (velocity). At the lowest point the kinetic energy is the highest and the potential is the lowest. At the highest point in its swing the velocity is zero so the kinetic energy is zero and the potential energy is at a maximum (greatest height).
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of boy=36 kg
length of swing=3.5 m
Let T be the tension in the swing
At top point 
where v=velocity needed to complete circular path
Th-resold velocity is given by 

So apparent weight of boy will be zero at top when it travels with a velocity of 
To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom
At top 
Energy at Bottom 
Comparing two as energy is conserved



Apparent weight at bottom is given by

I dont know what the statements are but concave lens are thinner in the middle which cause light to diverge or scatter
