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

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.

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

$K=0.023J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=0.15$

Velocity $v=0.5m/s$

Angular Velocity $\omega=8.4rad/s$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2+\frac{1}{2}R^2\omega^2)$

$K=\frac{1}{2}0.15(0.5^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.038)^2.(8.4rad/s^2))$

$K=0.023J$

A skateboarder, starting from rest, rolls down a 12.8-m ramp. When she arrives at the bottom of the ramp her speed is 8.89 m/s.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

a) a = 3.09 m/s²

b) aₓ = 2.60 m/s²

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of her acceleration can be calculated using the following equation:

$V_{f}^{2} = V_{0}^{2} + 2ad$

<u>Where</u>:

$V_{f}$ : is the final speed = 8.89 m/s

$V_{0}$ : is the initial speed = 0 (since she starts from rest)

a: is the acceleration

d: is the distance = 12.8 m

$a = \frac{V_{f}^{2}}{2d} = \frac{(8.89 m/s)^{2}}{2*12.8 m} = 3.09 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the magnitude of her acceleration is 3.09 m/s².

b) The component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is given by:

$a_{x} = a*cos(\theta)$

<u>Where</u>:

θ: is the angle respect to the ground = 32.6 °

$a_{x} = 3.09 m/s^{2}*cos(32.6) = 2.60 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the component of her acceleration that is parallel to the ground is 2.60 m/s².

I hope it helps you!
