Most geologists accept radiometric dating techniques as valid because radioactive elements decay at a constant and measurable rate.
Answer: Option C
<u>Explanation:</u>
Scientists prefer radioactive dating to carbon dating because it is more accurate in measuring. The analysis depends upon the radioactive decay of radioactive isotopes of any matter in a given rock or soil.
The parent atoms and daughter atoms are compared while studying, and hence age can be calculated easily. Radioactive decay depends upon the given half-life of the atom, which is a constant and is known. So, it would be very easy to calculate the number of progeny atoms and parent atoms and find out their age.
Answer:
The charges on the plates,
Explanation:
A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.
The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.
<span>9.50x10^2 newtons
A pascal is defined as 1 newton per square meter. So let's multiply the pressure by the surface area of the box lid.
F = 1.00x10^-2 m^2 * 9.50x10^4 N/m^2 = 9.50x10^2 N
So it will take 9.50x10^2 newtons of force to remove the lid from the box.</span>
Answer;
D. rocket engines are not dependent on oxygen from the air.
Explanation;
-Jet engines and rockets work on the same principle. They produce thrust through an internal pressure difference and, as explained by Newton’s Third Law of Motion, eject exhaust gases in an equal and opposite direction.
-The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space.
Additionally, Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
