Answer:

Relative age-dating involves comparing a rock layer or rock structure with other near-by layers or structures. Using the principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships, and structures such as unconformities, one can determine the order of geological events.

A baseball player hits a baseball with a bat. The mass of the ball is 0.25 kg. The ball accelerates at 200 m/s2

EastWind [94]

Answer:

50N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²)

0.25kg times 200m/s² = 50N

Two cars are traveling in the same direction down a highway at 65 miles per hour. What is the relative velocity of the second ca

Levart [38]

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.

The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.

The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.

The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.

The two distances differ by 40 miles.

58x−50x=40

8x=40

x=5 hours

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A second method:

The difference in the distances is 40 miles

The difference in the speeds is #8mph.

The time to make up the 40 miles= $\frac{40}{8}$ =5 hours

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x2 + y2), where T is measured in °C and x,

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

dt/dx = -0.373702

dt/dy = -1.121107

Explanation:

Given data

T(x, y) = 54/(7 + x² + y²)

to find out

rate of change of temperature with respect to distance

solution

we know function

T(x, y) = 54 /( 7 + x² + y²)

so derivative it x and y direction i.e

dt/dx = -54× 2x / (7 +x² + y²)² .........................1

dt/dy = -54× 2y / (7 + x² + y²)² .........................2

now put the value point (1,3) as x = 1 and y = 3 in equation 1 and 2

dt/dx = -54× 2(1) / (7 +(1)² + (3)²)²

dt/dx = -0.373702

and

dt/dy = -54× 2(3) / (7 + (1)² + (3)²)²

dt/dy = -1.121107

The electric flux through a square-shaped area of side 5 cm near a very large, thin, uniformly-charged sheet is found to be 3\ti

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

side of square shape $a=5\ cm$

Electric flux $\phi =3\times 10^{-5}\ N.m^2/C$

Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac{C^2}{N.m^2}$

Flux is given by

$\phi =EA\cos \theta$

where E=electric field strength

A=area

$\theta$ =Angle between Electric field and area vector

$E=\frac{\phi }{A\cos (0)}$

$E=\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{25\times 10^{-4}\times \cos(0)}$

$E=0.012\ N/C$

and Electric field by a uniformly charged sheet is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}$

where $\sigma$ =charge density

$=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma =0.012\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma =2.12\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^2$
