When scientists want to determine the actual age of a fossil, they use_____________

Physics
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.

When two resistors are wired in series with a 12 V battery, the current through the battery is 0.33 A. When they are wired in pa
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explanation:

R₁ = Resistance of first resistor

R₂ = Resistance of second resistor

V = Voltage of battery = 12 V

I = Current = 0.33 A (series)

I = Current = 1.6 A (parallel)

In series

\text{Equivalent resistance}=R_{eq}=R_1+R_2\\\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{0.33}\\\Rightarrow R_1+R_2=36.36\\ Also\ R_1=36.36-R_2

In parallel

\text{Equivalent resistance}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\Rightarrow {R_{eq}=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}

\text {From Ohm's law}\\V=IR_{eq}\\\Rightarrow R_{eq}=\frac{12}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}=7.5\\\Rightarrow \frac{R_1R_2}{36.36}=7.5\\\Rightarrow R_1R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow(36.36-R_2)R_2=272.72\\\Rightarrow R_2^2-36.36R_2+272.72=0

Solving the above quadratic equation

\Rightarrow R_2=\frac{36.36\pm \sqrt{36.36^2-4\times 272.72}}{2}

\Rightarrow R_2=25.78\ or\ 10.57\\ If\ R_2=25.78\ then\ R_1=36.36-25.78=10.58\ \Omega\\ If\ R_2=10.57\ then\ R_1=36.36-10.57=25.79\Omega

∴ If R₂=25.78 ohm, then R₁=10.58 ohm

If R₂=10.57 then R₁=25.79 ohm

Explain why Earth is not spherical in shape, but bulges at<br> theEquator?
Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

Every rotating body experiences centrifugal force. Due to this force the body tends to bulge out around it mid point and gets flattened at the poles. Same is applicable to Earth as well. Since the Earth is rotating at a very high speed, its equator gets bulged out due to centrifugal force. Because of this bulged equator, Earth's pole to pole diameter and equatorial diameter has difference of around 42.76 km. It is flatter on the poles. This also proves that Earth is not a perfect sphere.
