<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.

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 15.0 ∘ west of north,

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Explanation:

The force by the tugboats acting on the supertanker is constant and the displacement of the supertanker is along a straight line.

The angle between the 2 forces and displacement is ∅ = 15°.

First we have to calculate the work done by the individual force and then we can calculate the total work.

The work done on a particle by a constant force F during a straight line displacement s is given by following formula:

W = F*s

W = F*s*cos∅

With ∅ = the angles between F and s

The magnitude of the force acting on the supertanker is F of tugboat1 = F of tugboat 2 = F = 2.2 * 10^6 N

The total work done can be calculated as followed:

Wtotal = Ftugboat1 s * cos ∅1 + Ftugboat2 s* cos ∅2

Wtotal = 2Fs*cos∅

Wtotal = 2*2.2*10^6 N * 0.81 *10³ m s *cos15°

Wtotal = 3.44*10^9 Nm = 3.44 *10^9 J

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

edward travels 150 kilometers due west and then 200 kilometers in a direction 60 degrees north of west.what is his displacement

Naily [24]

The displacement of Edward in the westerly direction is determined as 338.32 km.

<h3>What is displacement of Edward?</h3>

The displacement of Edward can be determined from different methods of vector addition. The method applied here is triangular method.

The angle between the 200 km north west and 150 km west = 60 + 90 = 150⁰

The displacement is the side of the triangle facing 150⁰ = R

R² = a² + b² - 2abcosR

R² = 150² + 200² - (2x 150 x 200)xcos(150)

R² = 62,500 - (-51,961.52)

R² = 114,461.52

R = 338.32 km

Students perform a set of experiments by placing a block of mass m against a spring, compressing the spring a distance x along a

Verizon [17]

Increasing the angle of inclination of the plane decreases the velocity of the block as it leaves the spring.

The statement that indicates how the relationship between v and x changes is; As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x.

Reasons:

The energy given to the block by the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

According to the principle of conservation of energy, we have;

On a flat plane, energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2$ = kinetic energy of

block = $0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Therefore;

0.5·k·x² = 0.5·m·v²

Which gives;

x² ∝ v²

x ∝ v

On a plane inclined at an angle θ, we have;

The energy of the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2}$

The force of the weight of the block on the string, $F = m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$

The energy given to the block = $0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta)$ = The kinetic energy of block as it leaves the spring = $\mathbf{0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2}$

Which gives;

$0.5 \cdot k \cdot x^2 - m \cdot g \cdot sin(\theta) = 0.5 \cdot m \cdot v^2$

Which is of the form;

a·x² - b = c·v²

a·x² + c·v² = b

Where;

a, b, and c are constants

The graph of the equation a·x² + c·v² = b is an ellipse

Therefore;

As x increases, v increases, however, the value of v obtained will be lesser than the same value of x as when the block is on a flat plane.

Please find attached a drawing related to the question obtained from a similar question online

The possible question options are;

As x increases, v increases, but the relationship is no longer linear and the values of v will be less for the same value of x

The relationship is no longer linear and v will be more for the same value of x

The relationship is still linear, with lesser value of v

The relationship is still linear, with higher value of v

The relationship is still linear, but vary inversely, such that as x increases, v decreases
