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.

(20 points) You are at the center of a boat and have been rowing the boat for a long time. You weigh only 80 kg and your 120 kg
valina [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the first weight be m_ 1 = 80 kg

The weight of the buddy be m_2 = 120 kg

The weight of  Bubba be m_3 = 60 kg

Also, since you and Budda are a distance of 4m to each other, then the length to which both meet buddy will be:

x_1 = x_3 = \dfrac{4}{2} \\ \\ = 2

The length of the boat be x_2 = 4 m

∴

We can find the center of mass of the system by using the formula:

X_{CM} = \dfrac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2+m_3x_3}{m_1+m_2+m_3} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{(80 \times 2)+(120\times4)+(60\times2)}{80+120+60} \\ \\ X_{CM} = \dfrac{160+480+120}{260} \\ \\ \mathbf{X_{CM} = 2.923}

In the great shopping cart race, two students push on shopping carts. A having twice the mass of B, with the same force applied
Lesechka [4]

K = 1/2 m x v^2

m = mass on the cart

V = velocity imparted to the cart

KA = 1/2 mA x vA^2.......................(1)

KB = 1/2 mB x vB^2........................(2)

Diving equation 1 by equation 2, we get -

KA/KB = mA/mB

= 2

KA = 2 x KB

Option A is correct

Phobos's Orbit. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9,380 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 0.3189 days. Assu
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .
