<h3>Answer;</h3>

Limestone is the youngest

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Age of sedimentary rocks refers to the time that took for the material making the rock layer to be deposited.The determination of relative ages of sedimentary layers is based on the order in which the geologic events took place.
Therefore, if a layer of sediment overlies another layer , it means that the overlying layer must be younger.
Same case if a layer of of shale lies between sandstone below and limestone above, it means that the limestone is the youngest among the three rock layers.

Answer:

In a circuit , VOLTAGE can be said to be the "source" or the "push of electrons". This push then creates what is known as a  CURRENT , which is the flow of electric charge through the circuit. This flow can the slowed down or restricted by RESISTOR , and this is also what can be harnessed in order to use electric ENERGY .

Explanation:

Voltage:

It is the 'push' that causes charges to move in a wire or other electrical conductor, also it is a Source input to the electric circuit.

Measured in Volts.

Current:

An electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge from a point or through a region.

Measured in Ampere.

Resistor:

Resistor is used to resist the flow of charge or to resist the current called as Resistance.

Measured in Ohms.

Electric Energy:

Electrical energy is a form of energy resulting from the flow of electric charge.

Measured in Joules.

True or false? the potential energy of a membrane potential comes solely from the difference in electrical charge across the mem

bazaltina [42]

The statement would be False. The potential energy of a membrane potential comes solely from the difference in electrical charge across the membrane. In addition to that, membrane potential actually regulates the potential difference of nerve cells across the membrane estimated at 70 mV.

A woman can row a boat at 5.60 km/h in still water. (a) If she is crossing a river where the current is 2.80 km/h, in what direc

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) θ=210°, b) t=1.155hr, c) t=1.333hr, d) t=1.333hr, e) θ=180° (straight across), f) t=1hr.

Explanation:

So, the very first thing we nee to do when solving this problem is draw a diagram that represents it. In the attached picture I show a diagram for each part of this problem.

part a)

So, for her to move in a direction directly opposite her starting point, the x-component of her velocity must be de same as the velocity of the river in the opposite direction. We can use this fact to find the angle we need. If we analize the triangle I drew in the diagram, we can ses that:

$cos \theta = \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}}$

When solving for theta, we get that:

$\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}})$

so now we can substitute the corresponding values:

$\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {2.80km/hr}{5.60km/hr}})$

Which yields:

$\theta = 60^{o}$

but we are measuring the angle relative to the line perpendicular to the river, positive if down the river. So we need to subtract the angle from 270° so we get:

θ=270°-60°=210°

part b)

for part b, we need to find what the y-component for the velocity of the boat is for an angle of 210° as shown in the problem, so we get that:

$V_{y}=5.60km/hr*cos(210^{o})$

$V_{y}=-4.85km/hr$

The woman will head in a negative 5.60km distance from one side to the other, so we get that the time it takes her to go to the other side of the river is:

$t=\frac{y}{V_{y}}$

$t=\frac{5.60km}{4.85km/hr}=1.155hr$

part c)

In order to find the time it takes her to travel 2.80km down and up the river, we need to find the velocities she will have in both directions. First, down stream:

$V_{ds}=V_{river}+V{boat}$

$V_{ds}=2.80km/hr+5.60km/hr=8.40km/hr$

and now up stream:

$V_{us}=V_{boat}-V{river}$

$V_{us}=5.60km/hr-2.80km/hr=2.80km/hr$

Once we got these two velocities we will now need to find the time to take each trip:

time down stream:

$t_{ds}=\frac{x}{v_{ds}}$

$t_{ds}=\frac{2.80km}{8.40km/hr}=0.333hr$

and the time up stream:

$t_{us}=\frac{x}{v_{us}}$

$t_{us}=\frac{2.80km}{2,80km/hr}=1hr$

so the total time will be:

$t_{ds}+t_{us}=0.333hr+1hr=1.333hr$

d) the time it takes the boat to go upstream and then downstream for the same distance is the same as the time we got on part c, since both times will be the same but they will come in different order, but their sum will be just the same:

t=1.333hr

e) For her to cross the river faster, she must row in a 180° direction (this is in a direction straight accross the river) that way she will use all her velocity to move across the river. (Even though she will move a certain distance horizontally and will not reach a point opposite to the starting point.)

f) In order to find the time it takes her to get to the other side, we need to divide the distance into the velocity of the boat.

$t=\frac{d}{v_{boat}}$

$t=\frac{5.60km}{5.60km/hr}$

t= 1hr

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25°C. How many grams of chlorophyll, C55H72MgN4O5, a nonvolatile,

mixer [17]

Answer:

29.4855 grams of chlorophyll

Explanation:

From Raoult's law

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 457.45 mmHg ÷ 463.57 mmHg = 0.987

Mass of solvent (diethyl ether) = 187.4 g

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5OC2H5) = 74 g/mol

Number of moles of solvent = mass/MW = 187.4/74 = 2.532 mol

Let the moles of solute (chlorophyll) be y

Total moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of solvent = (y + 2.532) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.987 = 2.532/(y + 2.532)

y + 2.532 = 2.532/0.987

y + 2.532 = 2.565

y = 2.565 - 2.532 = 0.033

Moles of solute (chlorophyll) = 0.033 mol

Mass of chlorophyll = moles of chlorophyll × MW = 0.033 × 893.5 = 29.4855 grams
