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.

Find the value of F1 + F2 + F3.<br>​
Dovator [93]

Answer:

F = 0.78[N]

Explanation:

The given values correspond to forces, we must remember or take into account that the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and direction. Since we have two X-Y coordinate axes (two-dimensional), we are going to decompose each of the forces into the X & y components.

<u>For F₁</u>

<u />F_{y}=2[N]<u />

<u>For F₂</u>

F_{x}=2*cos(60)\\F_{x}=1[N]\\F_{y}=-2*sin(60)\\F_{y}=-1.73[N]

<u>For F₃</u>

<u />F_{x}=-1*sin(60)\\F_{x}=-0.866[N]\\F_{y}=1*cos(60)\\F_{y}=0.5 [N]<u />

Now we can sum each one of the forces in the given axes:

F_{x}=1-0.866=0.134[N]\\F_{y}=2-1.73+0.5\\F_{y}=0.77[N]

Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the total force.

F=\sqrt{(0.134)^{2} +(0.77)^{2}}\\F= 0.78[N]

You are comparing two diffraction gratings using two different lasers: a green laser and a red laser. You do these two experimen
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a. (a) grating A has more lines/mm; (b) the first maximum less than 1 meter away from the center

Explanation:

Let  n₁ and n₂ be no of lines per unit length  of grating A and B respectively.

λ₁ and λ₂ be wave lengths of green and red respectively , D be distance of screen and d₁ and d₂ be distance between two slits of grating A and B ,

Distance of first maxima for green light

= λ₁ D/ d₁

Distance of first maxima for red light

= λ₂ D/ d₂

Given that

λ₁ D/ d₁ = λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ / d₁ = λ₂ / d₂

λ₁ / λ₂  = d₁ / d₂

But

λ₁  <  λ₂

d₁ < d₂

Therefore no of lines per unit length of grating A will be more because

no of lines per unit length  ∝ 1 / d

If grating B is illuminated with green light first maxima will be at distance

λ₁ D/ d₂

As λ₁ < λ₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < λ₂ D/ d₂

λ₁ D/ d₂ < 1 m

In this case position of first maxima will be less than 1 meter.

Option a is correct .
