How does rocks and fossils determine Earth's age?

Physics
2 answers:
Fantom [35]3 years ago

Explanation:

rock and fossils are made by layers of dirt, sand,organic matter that has beem compressed over thousands,if not millions of years.

some scientists use this layering to determine how old the earth is.

its kind of like looking at the rings of a tree to see how old it is.

the scientists look at each layer of the rock or fossil and use what they already know about when this type of soil or organic matter existed and try to piece together the past

Answer:

There are two main ways to determine the age of a rock, these are Relative dating and Absolute dating. Relative dating is used to determine the relative order of past events by comparing the age of one object to another.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Q_T=63313.5\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of skin, T_s=34^{\circ}C
  • initial temperature of steam vapour, T_v=100^{\circ}C
  • latent heat of steam, L=2256\ J.g^{-1}
  • mass of steam, m=25\ g
  • specific heat of water, c=4190\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}=4.19\ J.g^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • final temperature, T_f=34^{\circ}C

<em>Assuming that no heat is lost in the surrounding.</em>

<u>We know:</u>

Q=m.c.\Delta T

<u>Now the total heat given by the steam to form water at the given conditions:</u>

Q_T=Q_{Lv}+Q_w ..............................(1)

where:

Q_{Lv}= latent heat given out by vapour to form water of 100°C

Q_w= heat given by water of 100°C to come at 34°C.

putting respective values in eq. (1)

Q_T=m(L+c.\Delta T)

Q_T=25(2256+4.19\times 66)

Q_T=63313.5\ J

is the heat transferred to the skin.

The figure shows two springs (k1 = 10 N/m and k2 = 20 N/m ) attached to a block that can slide on a frictionless surface. In the
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Energy stored by left spring when compressed = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 10 x .02² = .002 J .

Let compression in right spring = y

energy stored to right spring = 1/2 k y²

1/2 k y² = 0.002

.5 x 20 x y² = 0.002

y = .01414 m

= 1.4  cm
