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

Physics

Mamont248 [21]2 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.

if you are in Birmingham AL, and you want to use your cell phone to talk to your cousin in Houston, TX, what must occur in order
lesantik [10]

Answer:

For communication to be communicated between you and your cousin who is in Houston,Texas, when a call is made by you, a request is made to the specific phone, and the telephone tower will get the request from the mobile phone. Then a signal is sent via a transmitter underground, by this the satellite communicates with the local receiver in Houston, that is linked to the local tower over there, the tower would request for your cousin's number and connects the two of you, once a link is set.

Explanation:

From the example stated, what is required for such for a far distance, is a communication satellite link.

When a call is made by you, the a connection request is sent to the specified phone.The telephone tower receives the request from The mobile phone. The local tower(Birmingham,Al) is linked to a ground transmitter by the means of a Fiber optical cable.

A signal is sent to satellite via the ground transmitter.The satellite then set's off the local receiver in (Houston,Texas) which on it's end is connected to the local tower there. This tower then ask for your cousin's mobile for a call that will be incoming, a link is set, once he/she receives the call, from there a conversation can be done.

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red
Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }       ......(1)

Here \lambda_{s} is source wavelength, \lambda_{o} is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, \lambda_{s} = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, \lambda_{0} = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }

\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84

{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056

1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}

\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}

v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s
