Answer:
The presence of iridium in concentrations higher than 100 times the normal in the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary supports the Alvarez Impact Hypothesis.
Explanation:
Father and Son Alvarez argued that since iridium is present in extremely minute quantities on earth, its presence in very high concentrations in this layer which is thought to date back to 66 million years is evidence that an extraterrestrial impact took place which brought the iridium. The high destructive nature of the impact spread the iridium far and wide which deposited on the surface which is why it is present in this layer which dates back to that period.
<span>Copper
is a chemical element with symbol Cu and atomic number 29. It is a
soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical
conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a
reddish-orange color. Copper is used as a conductor of heat and
electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various
metal alloys, such as sterling silver used in jewelry, cupronickel used
to make marine hardware and coins, and constantan used in strain gauges
and thermocouples for temperature measurement.</span>
Answer:
(d) increase by 100%
Explanation:
= initial mass of earth = m
= final mass of earth = (0.5) m
= initial radius of earth = R
= final radius of earth = (0.5) R
= initial acceleration due to gravity of earth = g
= final acceleration due to gravity of earth
initial acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as
Eq-1
Final acceleration due to gravity of earth is given as
Eq-2
Dividing eq-1 by eq-2

inserting the values

= 2 g
So there is 100% increase
