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.

What is its time interval between the release of the ball and the time it reaches its maximum height? Its initial vertical speed
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The time to reach max height is    h = 1/2 g t^2  

The time to fall is the same as that for an equivalent rise

m g h = 1/2 m v^2       KE vs PE

Here:   (Vf - VI) / g = t = -9  / -9.8 = .92 s

A student of weight 659 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) The student feel light

b) Nbottom = 758 N

c) N'top= 236 N

d) N'bottom= 1055 N

Explanation:

a) W= 659N , Ntop= 560N

W > Ntop ---> Student feel less weight

b)   Top:

∑F= W - Ntop = m.v²/R

m.v²/R = 659N - 560 N = 99 N

Bottom:

∑F= Nbottom- W = m.v²/R

Nbottom= W + m.v²/R = 659N + 99 N = 758N

c) W= 659 N , Ntop= 560 N , v'=2.v

N'top= ?

∑F= W - N'top = m.v'²/R

N'top= W - 4.m.v²/R

N'top = 659 N - 4. 99 N = 263 N

d)   N'bottom = ?

∑Fbottom= N'bottom- W = m.v'²/R

N'bottom = W + 4.m.v²/R = 659 N + 4. 99 N = 1055 N

A ball moving with an initial velocity of 5 m/s comes to rest after 2s. What was the ball's acceleration?
Inga [223]

Answer:

-2.5m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is giving by the rate of change of the body's velocity. It is given by

a = Δv / t        ----------------(i)

Where;

a = acceleration (measured in m/s²)

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity   (measure in m/s)

t = time taken for the change (measured in seconds(s))

From the question;

i. initial velocity = 5m/s

final velocity = 0 [since the body (ball) comes to rest]

Δv = 0 - 5 = -5m/s

ii. time taken = t = 2s

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

a = (-5m/s) / (2s)

a = -2.5m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is -2.5m/s²

NB: The negative sign shows that the ball was actually decelerating.

The magnetising current in a transformer is rich in ______________ harmonic?
sukhopar [10]
The magnetizing current in a transformer is rich in 3rd harmonic. This is because harmonics are AC voltages and currents with frequencies that are generally higher.
