How do scientists identify how old rock and fossils are?

Physics

Dating Rocks and Fossils Using Geologic Methods. ... The age of the fossil must be determined so it can be compared to other fossil species from the same time period. Understanding the ages of related fossil species helps scientists piece together the evolutionary history of a group of organisms.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 10 m/s . If the ball has a mass of 0.3 kg how high does the ball go ?
Damm [24]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 5.102 m

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The total energy, i.e. sum of kinetic and potential energy, is constant.

That is; E = KE + PE

Initially, PE = 0 and KE = 1/2 mv^2

At maximum height, velocity=0, thus, KE = 0 and PE = mgh

Since, total energy is constant (KE converts to PE when the ball is rising).

Therefore, KE = PE

or, 1/2 mv^2 = mgh

or, h = v^2 /2g

        = 10^2 / (2x9.8)

        =<u> 5.102 m</u>

A 10.0 kg and a 2.0 kg cart approach each other on a horizontal frictionless air track. Their total kinetic energy before collis
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2.53 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

For an Elastic collision,

Total kinetic energy before collision = Total kinetic energy after collision

Ek₁ = 1/2mv²+1/2m'v'²................. Equation 1

Where Ek₁ = total kinetic energy before collision, m = mass of the first cart, v = final velocity of the first cart, m' = mass of the second cart, v' = final velocity of the second cart.

Given: Ek₁ = 96 J, m = 10 kg, m' = 2 kg, v' = 8 m/s.

Substitute into equation 1 and solve for the value of v.

96 = 1/2(10)(v²)+1/2(2)(8²)

96 = 5v²+64

5v² = 96-64

5v² = 32

v² = 32/5

v² = 6.4

v = √6.4

v = 2.53 m/s

Hence the final speed of the 10 kg mass = 2.53 m/s
