How do we determine the age of rocks and other geologic features?

Physics
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

In a simple RC circuit, at t=0 the switch is closed with the capacitor uncharged. If C=30µF, =50V and R=10k, what is the poten
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Voltage across the capacitor is 30 V and rate of energy across the capacitor is 0.06 W

Explanation:

As we know that the current in the circuit at given instant of time is

i = 2.0 mA

R = 10 k ohm

now we know by ohm's law

V = iR

V = (2 mA)(10 kohm)

V = 20 volts

so voltage across the capacitor + voltage across resistor = V

V_c + 20 = 50

V_c = 30 V

Now we know that

U = \frac{q^2}{2C}

here rate of change in energy of the capacitor is given as

\frac{dU}{dt} = \frac{q}{C} \frac{dq}{dt}

\frac{dU}{dt} = (30)(2 mA)

\frac{dU}{dt} = 0.06 W

A watering can is most likely measured in which metric unit
Iteru [2.4K]
A watering can is used to hold a water that we will use to water the plants. The water has both mass and volume. Two watering cans are most often different by the volume they contain. 

Many various units for volume are used but most often used unit is liter. In a metric system basic units are those such as meter, kilogram and liter while in imperial system units used are those such as foote, inch, pound and gallon.

Unit for volume in metric system is cubic meter. It is equal to a volume of a cube whose all sides measure 1m. This is equal to 1000L. For watering cans that contain several liters units used is decimeter cubed. 1dm^3 = 1L

________ is an arrhythmia in which there is a very fast but regular rhythm (250 beats per minute) of the atria or ventricles.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Flutter

Explanation:

Flutter is a type of arrhythmia that causes very fast and regular ryth of the atria of about 250 beats per minute.

Arrhythmia can be defined as any sort of irregularity heart rate or rhythm is also called as dysrhythmia.

Arrhythmias can be categorized as heart block, bradycardia, tachycardia, fibrillation, flutter, sick sinus syndrome, and is diagnosed by Electrocardiography.

In Flutter, the heart chambers do get sufficient time to get filled with blood completely prior to next contraction.
