How could relative dating and absolute dating be used together?

Physics

maksim [4K]4 years ago

Relative dating observes the placement of fossils and rock in layers known as strata. Basically, fossils and rock found in lower strata are older than those found in higher strata because lower objects must have been deposited first, while higher objects were deposited last. Relative dating helps determine what came first and what followed, but doesn't help determine actual age.

Radiometric dating, or numeric dating, determines an actual or approximate age of an object by studying the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes, such as uranium, potassium, rubidium and carbon-14 within that object. Radioactive isotopes decay at a fixed rate. This rate provides scientists with an accurate measurement system to determine age. For example, carbon dating is used to determine the age of organic materials. Once something dies, it ceases taking in new carbon-14, and the existing carbon-14 within the organism decays into nitrogen at a fixed rate. Scientists measure the proportion of carbon-14 left in the organism to determine its age.

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J

Some laptops contain a second battery. what is this battery called
Phoenix [80]
I believe this battery is called Sheet battery.
Sheet battery is a flexible, ultra thin energy storage and production device formed by combining nano tubes with a conventional sheet of cellulose based paper. It acts as both a high-energy battery and super-capacitor, combining two components that are separate in traditional electronics.

How do I know what kinematic equations to use when solving a question?
olganol [36]

Explanation:

There are 5 kinematic equations, and 5 variables.

Each question will give you 3 variables and ask you to solve for a fourth.

To determine which equation to use, look at which variable is <em>not</em> included in the problem.

For example, if the question does not include time, then you need to use a kinematic equation that does not have t in it.  That would be:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Or, if the question does not include the final velocity, then you need a kinematic equation that does not have v in it.  That would be:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
