How can radioactive dating and relative dating be used together to date the age of a rock strata or an organism?

Physics
1 answer:
Otrada [13]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It compares the the difference between a radioactive element remaining in specimen to the amount of the radioactive element that would have been originally trapped in the specimen. This is done by comparing the ratio of the relative abundance of this radioactive element to its non radioactive isotope in nature to their ratio remaining in the specimen and comparing it to the half-life of the radioactive isotope.

Darren drives to school in rush hour traffic and averages 28 mph. He returns home in mid-afternoon when there is less traffic an
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

distance between school and home is 21 miles

Explanation:

given data

in rush hour speed  s1 = 28 mph

less traffic speed s2 = 42 mph

time t = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hr

to find out

distance  d

solution

we consider here distance home to school is d and t1 time to reach at school

we get here distance equation when we go home to school that is

distance = 28 × t1    .......................1

and when we go school to home distance will be

distance = 42 × ( t - t1 )

distance = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 )     ...................2

so from equation 1 and 2

28 × t1 = 42 × ( 1.25 - t1 )

t1 = 0.75

so

from equation 1

distance = 28 × t1

distance = 28 × 0.75

distance = 21 miles

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?
solniwko [45]
Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.

The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere,
ludmilkaskok [199]

A

most common source of phosphates in the soil is the weathering of the mineral apatite.

Explanation:

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals like hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite. When apatite rocks weather, they release the phosphate minerals mainly in the form of PO₄ ³⁻ . These minerals become dissolved in water (hydrosphere), where they are readily available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere. The phosphates are taken up and used in biosynthesis. When these organisms die and become buried with sediments, the phosphate gets back to the lithosphere as sedimentary rock.

Ted Williams hits a baseball with an initial velocity of 120 miles per hour (176 ft/s) at an angle of θ = 35 degrees to the hori
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: the maximum heigth of the stadium at ist back wall is 151.32 ft

Explanation:

1. use the position (x) equation in parobolic movement to find the time (t)

565 ft = [frac{176 ft}{1 s\\}[/tex] * cos (35°)  * t

t= 3.92 s

2. use the position (y) equation in parabolic movement to find de maximun heigth  the ball reaches at 565 ft from the home plate.

y= [[frac{176 ft}{1 s\\}[/tex] * sen (35°) * 3.92 s] - \frac{32.2 ft/s^{2} *3.92 s^{2}  }{2}

y= 148.32 ft

3. finally add the 3 ft that exist between the home plate and the ball

148.32 ft + 3 ft = 151.32

A boat takes off from a dock at 2.5 m/s and speeds up at 4.2 m/s squared for six seconds how far has the most traveled
GaryK [48]

The boat's position x relative to its starting point x_0=0 is determined by

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

where v_0 is its initial velocity, a is its acceleration, and t is time. After t=6\,\mathrm s, the boat has traveled

x=\left(2.5\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(4.2\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(6\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies x=91\,\mathrm m
