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.

A 1.5m wire carries a 6 A current when a potential difference of 61 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
Alisiya [41]

Resistance = (voltage) / (current)

For this piece of wire . . .

Resistance = (61 volts) / (6 Amperes)

Resistance = (61/6) (V/A)

<em>Resistance = (10 and 1/6) ohms</em>

Since you know the voltage and current, the length doesn't matter.

A projectile is launched at an angle above the
gtnhenbr [62]
The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.

The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.

v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s

Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.

The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.

Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential difference between a cloud and the ground is vcloud - vground = 3.50 10
wariber [46]
<span>The change in the electron's potential energy is equal to the work done on the electron by the electric field. The electron's potential energy is the stored energy relative to the electron's position in the electric field. Vcloud - Vground represents the change in Voltage. This voltage quantity is given to be 3.50 x 10^8 V, with the electron at the lower potential. The formula for calculating the change in the electron's potential energy (EPE) is found by charge x (Vcloud - Vground) = (EPEcloud - EPE ground) where charge is constant = 1.6 x 10^-19. Filling in the known quantities results in the expression 1.6 x 10^-19 (3.50 x 10^8) = (EPEcloud - EPEground) = 5.6 x 10^-11. Therefore, the change in the electron's potential energy from cloud to ground is 5.6 x 10^-11 joules.</span>

If measurements of gas are 75 L and 300 kIlopascals and then the gas is measured is second time and found to be 50 L, describe w
Ann [662]

Answer:

The pressure must have increased in the process

Explanation:

The State Equation for gasses reads: P*V=n*R*T

where P is the gas' pressure, V its volume, n the number of moles of gas,  R the gas constant and T the temperature in degrees Kelvin.

If the temperature of the gas doesn't change in the described process, the right hand side of the equation stays the same. If that is the case, given that when the Volume of the gas diminishes from 75 liters to 50 liters, then the pressure must have increased to keep that product "P * V" constant:

P_i*V_i=P_f*V_f\\75 *300=50*X\\X=\frac{75*300}{50} =450

So the pressure must have gone up to 450 kilopascals.
