Layer T contains a well-known index fossil that is 120 million years old. Layer R contains a different index fossil that is 100

million years old. Based on this information and the principle of superposition, how old is Layer M?

Answer:

Between 100 and 120 million years old

Explanation:

The principle of superposition refers to one of the geological principles used in the determining the relative depositional history or sequence of rock stratas in geologic stratigraphic study. The superposition principle explains that rocks deposited in stratas with the oldest rock layer being at the base and the youngest at the topmost layer. Hence using this principle, we can conclude that ; Rock layer M lies in between layer T and R ; thus M is younger than T and older than R. Therefore, the age of M will be between the range of age T and R.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

 w = 2w₀     the angular velocity of man doubles

Explanation:

In this exercise, releasing the weights reduces the moment of inertia

       I= I₀ / 2

Therefore, since the platform system plus man is isolated, the kinetic moment must be conserved

         L₀ = L

       I₀ w₀ = I w

       I₀ w₀ = I₀ / 2 w

       w = 2w₀

therefore the angular velocity of man doubles

Pretend you (80 kg) are making repairs on the outside of the International Space Station. You are floating 20 meters away from t
djyliett [7]

Answer:

32 seconds

Explanation:

m1 = 80 kg

m2 = 10 kg

v2 = 5m/s

According to the property of conservation of momentum, assuming that both you and the bag are stationary before the safety rope comes lose:

m_{1} v_{1} =m_{2} v_{2} \\80v_{1} =10*5 \\v_{1} = 0.625\ m/s

Since the space station is 20 meters away, the time taken to reach it is given by:

t = \frac{20}{0.625}\\t=32\ s

It takes you 32 seconds to reach the station.

aev [14]

Answer:

where the y axis is

Explanation:

In more simple terms, a horizontal line on any chart is where the y-axis values are equal. If it has been drawn to show a series of highs in the data, a data point moving above the horizontal line would indicate a rise in the y-axis value over recent values in the data sample.
