Which method determines the relative age of Earth's sedimentary layers based on their organization?

Physics
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago

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.

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: (m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\frac{8.6}{2.5}  = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})

\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44

Thus,

(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.

Lynna [10]
Dr Tony Allision hypothesize that the sickle cell disease is connected with malaria. The disease carried by the mosquito is more common in coastal area and near Lake Victoria while it is less common in the highlands. He made a further hypothesis that sickle cell disease is common in areas where malaria is also common.

Which statement describes steps involved in the production of hydroelectric power?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Answer is D.......Falling water turns a turbine that helps generate electricity.

Explanation:

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

Two metallic rods A and B of different materials have same length. The linear expansivity of A is 12×10–6 oC–1and cubical expans
uysha [10]

Answer:

The length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

Explanation:

We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:

L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)

where,

L' = Final Length

L = Initial Length

∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion

ΔT = Change in temperature

Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.

For Rod A:

∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

For Rod B:

∝₂ = β₂/3

where,

β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Therefore,

∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3

∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Since,

∝₁ > ∝₂

Therefore,

L₁ > L₂

So, the length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B
