Answer:

Either Answer you Put is fine i put one as an answer and the other is the sample response and got it right.

My Answer: rather than typical sea floor rock, which had been shocked, melted, and ejected to the surface in minutes, and evidence of colossal seawater movement directly afterwards from sand deposits. Crucially the cores also showed a near complete absence of gypsum, a sulfate-containing rock, which would have been vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, confirming the presence of a probable link between the impact and global longer-term effects on the climate and food chain.

Sample Response:

Samples from the Western Hemisphere contained significantly higher amounts of shock-fractured quartz. This led Walter and Luis Alvarez to hypothesize that the asteroid impact site was in the Western Hemisphere.

The drag force that resists the motion of a car traveling at 80 km h^- 1 is 300 N.

The power require to keep the car traveling is 6,666 W.

The power of the engine at the given efficiency is 3,999.6 W.

<h3>What is Instantaneous power?</h3>

This the product of force and velocity of the given object.

The power require to keep the car traveling is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

$P = 300\ N \ \times \ \frac{80 \ kmh^{-1}}{3.6 \ km h^{-1}/m/s} \\\\
P = 300 \ N \times 22.22 \ m/s\\\\
P = 6,666 \ W$
