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.

Jaclyn plays singles for South's varsity tennis team. During the match against North, Jaclyn won the sudden death tiebreaker poi
Kipish [7]

Answer:

A) pbin = 1.535 Kgm/s (+)

B) pbf = 1.696 Kgm/s (-)

C) Δp = 3.3925 Kgm/s

D) Δvr = 10.249 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball: m = 57.5 g = 0.0575 Kg

Initial speed of the ball: vbi = 26.7 m/s

Mass of the racket: M = 331 g = 0.331 Kg

Final speed of the ball: vbf = 29.5 m/s

A) We use the formula

pbin = m*vbi = 0.0575 Kg*26.7 m/s = 1.535 Kgm/s (+)

B) pbf = m*vbf = 0.0575 Kg*29.5 m/s = 1.696 Kgm/s (-)

C) We use the equation

Δp = pbf - pbin = 1.696 Kgm/s - (-1.535 Kgm/s) = 3.3925 Kgm/s

D) Knowing that

Δp = 3.3925 Kgm/s

we can say that

Δp = M*Δvr

⇒  Δvr = Δp / M

⇒  Δvr = 3.3925 Kgm/s / 0.331 Kg

⇒  Δvr = 10.249 m/s

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

It is 5.00 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10.0 k
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

a. Walking burns up more energy.

b. 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.

Explanation:

a. We know energy W = Pt where P = power and t = time.

Now for walking, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 3.00 km/hr and P = 290 W

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/3.00 km/hr = 5/3 hr = 5/3 × 3600 s = 6000 s

W = Pt = 290 W × 6000 s = 1740000 = 1740 kJ

Now for running, t = d/v where d = distance = 5.00 km and v = speed = 10.00 km/hr

So, t = d/v = 5.00 km/10.00 km/hr = 0.5 hr = 0.5 × 3600 s = 1800 s and P = 700 W

W = Pt = 700 W × 1800 s = 1260000 = 1260 kJ

Since walking burns up 1740 kJ and running burns up 1260 kJ, walking burns up more energy.

b. It burns up 1740 kJ

c. This is because more intense exercise releases a lot of energy in a short period of time, whereas, less intense energy releases it energy gradually over a long period of time.
