The law of superposition states that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary rocks the oldest rocks will be at the bottom while

the
youngest will be on top. Notice the word undeformed in the last sentence: that means the naturally occurring rock layers are
somehow altered, causing confusion or gaps in the geologic record. Changes to the rock strata can occur due to a variety of geologic
events. Which geologic event is INCORRECTLY identified?
es )
A)
A. Faulting due to stress and fracture.

What is the kinetic theory of matter? How does it relate to the motion of molecules?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is energy that an object has because of its motion. The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains the forces between molecules and the energy that they possess. This theory is based on three theories about matter. Matter is composed of small particles (atoms, molecules, and ions).

Suppose a car is traveling at +20.3 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.207 s has elapsed (the reaction t
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

33.6371 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 20.3 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -7 m/s²

Distance traveled in the 0.207 seconds

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒Distance = 20.3×0.207 = 4.2021 m

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-20.3^2}{2\times -7}\\\Rightarrow s=29.435\ m

Distance traveled by the car while braking is 29.435 m

Total distance measured from the point where the driver first notices the red light is 29.435+4.2021 = 33.6371 m

X-rays with an energy of 400 keV undergo Compton scattering with a target. If the scattered X-rays are detected at \theta = 30^{
dedylja [7]
<h2>Answer: 37.937 keV</h2>

Explanation:

<u>Photons have momentum</u>, this was proved by he American physicist Arthur H. Compton after his experiments related to the <u>scattering of photons from electrons</u> (Compton Effect or Compton Shift). In addition, energy and momentum are conserved in the process.

In this context, the Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}.c}, being h=4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c=3(10)^{8}m/s the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta=30\° the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the scattered X-rays (photons) are detected at 30\°:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(30\°))   (2)

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}=3.2502(10)^{-13}m   (3)

Now, the initial energy E_{o}=400keV=400(10)^{3}eV of the photon is given by:

 E_{o}=\frac{h.c}{\lambda_{o}}    (4)

From this equation (4) we can find the value of \lambda_{o}:

\lambda_{o}=\frac{h.c}{E_{o}}    (5)

\lambda_{o}=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{400(10)^{3}eV}    

\lambda_{o}=3.102(10)^{-12}m    (6)

Knowing the value of \Delta \lambda and \lambda_{o}, let's find \lambda':

\Delta \lambda=\lambda' - \lambda_{o}

Then:

\lambda'=\Delta \lambda+\lambda_{o}  (7)

\lambda'=3.2502(10)^{-13}m+3.102(10)^{-12}m  

\lambda'=3.427(10)^{-12}m  (8)

Knowing the wavelength of the scattered photon \lambda'  , we can find its energy E' :

E'=\frac{h.c}{\lambda'}    (9)

E'=\frac{(4.136(10)^{-15}eV.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.427(10)^{-12}m}    

E'=362.063keV    (10) This is the energy of the scattered photon

So, if we want to know the energy of the recoiling electron E_{e}, we have to calculate all the energy lost by the photon, which is:

E_{e}=E_{o}-E'  (11)

E_{e}=400keV-362.063keV  

Finally we obtain the energy of the recoiling electron:

E_{e}=37.937keV

An observer stands on the side of the front of a stationary train. When the train starts moving with constant acceleration, the
Zarrin [17]

To solve this problem we will use the linear motion description kinematic equations. We will proceed to analyze the general case by which the analysis is taken for the second car and the tenth. So we have to:

x = v_0 t \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where,

x= Displacement

v_0 = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

t = time

Since there is no initial velocity, the same equation can be transformed in terms of length and time as:

L = \frac{1}{2} a t_1 ^2

For the second cart

2L \frac{1}{2} at_2^2

When the tenth car is aligned the length will be 9 times the initial therefore:

9L = \frac{1}{2} at_3^2

When the tenth car has passed the length will be 10 times the initial therefore:

10L = \frac{1}{2}at_4^2

The difference in time taken from the second car to pass it is 5 seconds, therefore:

t_2-t_1 = 5s

From the first equation replacing it in the second one we will have that the relationship of the two times is equivalent to:

\frac{1}{2} = (\frac{t_1}{t_2})^2

t_1 = \frac{t_2}{\sqrt{2}}

From the relationship when the car has passed and the time difference we will have to:

(t_2-\frac{t_2}{\sqrt{2}}) = 5

t_2 (\sqrt{2}-1) = 3\sqrt{2}

t_2= (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2

Replacing the value found in the equation given for the second car equation we have to:

\frac{L}{a} = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2

Finally we will have the time when the cars are aligned is

18 \frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2 = t_3^2

t_3 = 36.213s

The time when you have passed it would be:

20\frac{1}{4} (\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}-1})^2 = t_4^2

t_4 = 38.172

The difference between the two times would be:

t_4-t_3 = 38.172-36.213 \approx 2s

Therefore the correct answer is C.
