Developments in technology have allowed scientists to conclude that Earth more than 4.5 billion years old. Why was the discovery

of "limitless time" so important to the study of geology and to the study of evolution?

The discovery of it was so important to the study of geology and the study of Evolution because before that, researchers could only determine the relative orders of rock unit and fossils. They can only estimate the length of time involved , but failed to provide any further  information

hope this helps

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?What is the total energy stores in the
Rama09 [41]

1) 1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m

so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

While the separation between the plates is

d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m

So the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

and using

E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m, we find

u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3

A body of mass 1kg has a 25kgsmsqure moment of inertia about its center of mass. if it rotated about an axis which has a displac
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

194 kg m²

Explanation:

Use parallel axis theorem:

I = I₀ + mr²

I = 25 kg m² + (1 kg) ((5 m)² + (12 m)²)

I = 25 kg m² + 169 kg m²

I = 194 kg m²

Would a rougher or smoother object absorb thermal energy faster? Why? Give an example.
Nuetrik [128]
Smoother because it will increase energy and when the energy increases it’ll create heat also . Example: A car racing on a smooth road it’ll go faster than a Car speeding on a bumpy and rough road , Hope that helps .

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.50 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

for rolling motion down the plane acceleration is given by the following expression

a = g sinθ / (1 + k² / R²)

here k is radius of gyration and R is radius of the object rolling down .

for cylinder I = 1/2 m R²

so k² = R² / 2

k² / R² = 1/2

a = g sinθ /( 1 + 1 / 2 )

= 2 / 3 x  g sinθ

v = √ 2 a s

= √ (2 x  2 / 3 x  g sinθ s )

= √ (4  / 3 x  g h  )

= √ (4  / 3 x  g x .5  )

= √ 2g / 3

for sphere  I = 2/5  m R²

so k² = 2/5 R²

k² / R² = 2 / 5  

a = g sinθ / (1 + 2 / 5)  

= 5 / 7  x  g sinθ

v = √ 2 a s

= √ (2 x  5 / 7  x  g sinθ s )

= √ (10/7  x  g h  )

Given

√ (10/7  x  g h  ) = √ 2g / 3

10/7  x  g h  = 2g / 3

h = 14 / 30 m

= .47 m .

It takes 100,832 J of work to lift an elevator 18.3 meters. If this is done in 21.0 seconds, what is the average power of the el
Aneli [31]

Answer:

P=4801.5

Explanation:

Given :

work done = W = 100,832 J

time = 21.0 sec

Find:

P = ?

Formula:

P = W/t

Solution:

P = W/t

P = 100,832/21.0

  =  4801.52 J/s or Watts
