The acceleration of an object in free fall is $9.8 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

For the object in this problem, we have:

m = 9.9 kg is its mass

F = 97.02 N is the net force on the object

So, we can rearrange the equation to find its acceleration:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{97.02}{9.9}=9.8 m/s^2$

This value is actually known as acceleration of gravity (g), and it is the acceleration that any object in free fall has near the Earth's surface, regardless of its mass.

A projectile is shot at an angle 45 degrees to the horizontalnear the surface of the earth but in the absence of air resistance.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

Explanation:

given,

angle of projectile = 45°

speed = v₁ = 150 m/s

for second trail

speed = v₂ = ?

angle of projectile = 37°

maximum height attained formula,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v^2 sin^2(\theta)}{g}$

now,

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_1^2 sin^2(\theta_1)}{g}$

$H_{max}= \dfrac{v_2^2 sin^2(\theta_2)}{g}$

now, equating both the equations

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{v_1^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(\theta_1)}{sin^2(\theta_2)}$

$\dfrac{v_2^2}{150^2}=\dfrac{sin^2(45^0)}{sin^2(37^0)}$

v₂² = 31061.79

v₂ = 176.24 m/s

velocity of projectile would be equal to v₂ = 176.24 m/s

1) Archeologists have found fossil remains of some of the first land

dimaraw [331]

Answer: Carbon 14 and Uranium 238 are not used together to determine fossil ages.

Explanation:

Carbon 14 with a half life of 5,700 years can only be used to date fossils of approximately 50,000 years. Most fossils are thought to be much older than 50,000 years. Also most fossils no longer contain any Carbon. The fossilized remains have been mineralized where the original organic material has been replaced and turned into stones containing no carbon.

Uranium 238 has a half life of 4.5 billion years. Uranium can be used to date the age of the earth. If 50% of pure uranium' is left in a sample the sample is assumed to be 4.5 billion years old.( This is assuming that the original sample was 100% uranium and no Uranium 238 has been eroded or lost in 4.5 billion years old. If a fossil has only 25 % of the Uranium 238 the sample has an estimated age of 3.2 Billion years. This would be the estimated age of the earliest life or formation of fossils.

Note no fossils contain Uranium 238. Uranium 238 is only found in igneous or volcanic rocks. So no fossils can be dated directly using U 238.

Because of the huge differences in the half lives of Carbon 14 and Uranium238 they cannot be used together. Carbon 14 can only be used to date fossils of a very recent age. Uranium 238 can only be used to date volcanic rocks of a very old age.
