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.

A 36.3 kg cart has a velocity of 3 m/s. How much kinetic energy does the object have?
uysha [10]

Answer:

163.35

__________________________________________________________

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the object (m) = 36.3 kg

Velocity of the object (v) = 3 m/s

<u>Kinetic Energy of the object:</u>

We know that:

Kinetic Energy = 1/2(mv²)

KE = 1/2(36.3)(3)²            [replacing the variables with the given values]

KE = 18.15 * 9

KE = 163.35 Joules

Hence, the cart has a Kinetic Energy of 163.35 Joules

What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]

Write an expression for a transverse harmonic wave that has a wavelength of 2.5 m and propagates to the right with a speed of 13
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

Explanation:

wavelength, λ = 2.5 m

speed, v = 13.8 m/s

Amplitude, A = 0.14 m

The general equation of the transverse harmonic wave which is travelling right is given by

y = A Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\lambda } (x - vt)+\phi \right  )

where, Ф is phase

At t = 0, x = 0 , y = 0.14 m

0.14 = 0.14 Sin Ф

Ф = π/2

So, the equation is

y = 0.14Sin\left ( \frac{2\pi }{2.5 } (x - 13.8t)+\frac{\pi }{2} \right  )

y = 0.14 Cos\left ( 2.512x-34.66t \right )

What are the three ways of answering a scientific question
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Let's start by understanding what exactly a scientific question is. A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable.

Here's examples of a few:

Why is that a star?

or

What is that star made of?

Hope this can lead you to the answer you're looking for at least!!
