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

Physics

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.

The velocity of a particle traveling in a straight line is given by v = (6t - 3t²) m/s, where t is in seconds. If s = 0 when t =
qaws [65]

Answer

given,

v = (6 t - 3 t²) m/s

we know,

v = \dfrac{dx}{dt}

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

position of the particle

dx = v dt

integrating both side

\int dx = (6t - 3 t^2)\int dt

 x = 3 t² - t³

Position of the particle at t= 3 s

 x = 3  x 3² - 3³

 x = 0 m

now, particle’s deceleration

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

a = \dfrac{d}{dt}(6t - 3 t^2)

  a = 6 - 6 t

at t= 3 s

    a = 6 - 6 x 3

    a = -12 m/s²

distance traveled by the particle

  x = 3 t² - t³

at t = 0 x = 0

   t = 1 s   , x = 3 (1)² - 1³ = 2 m

   t = 2 s  ,  x = 3(2)² - 2³ = 4 m

   t = 3 s ,   x =  0 m

total distance traveled by the particle

D = distance in 0-1 s + distance in 1 -2 s + distance in 2 -3 s

D = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 m

average speed of the particle

v_{avg} = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{8}{3}

v_{avg} =2.67\ m/s

n a car lift used in a service station, compressed air exerts a force on a small piston that has a circular cross section of rad
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 1477.78 N

Explanation:

Let's assume that the cross sectional area of the smaller piston be A1

let's also assume the cross sectional area of the larger piston be A2

We assume the force applied to the smaller piston be F1

We also assume the force applied to the larger piston be F2

we then use the formula

F1/A1 = F2/A2

From our question,

The radius of the smaller piston is 5 cm = 0.05 m

The radius of the larger piston is 15 cm = 0.15 m

The force of the larger piston is 13300 N

The force of the smaller piston is unknown = F

A1 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.05² = 0.007855 m²

A2 = πr² = 3.142 * 0.15² = 0.070695 m²

F1/0.007855 = 13300/0.070695

F1 = (13300 * 0.007855) / 0.070695

F1 = 104.4715 / 0.070695

F1 = 1477.78 N

Thus, the force the compressed air must exert is 1477.78 N
