The primary source of evidence proposed by many scientist to support the theory of an ancient earth is ____ dating.

vova2212 [387]

It depends on your definition of “ancient.” Radiometric dating using Carbon-14 can reliably date back to about 50,000 years, uranium-lead or lead-lead dating can date back multiple millions, potassium-argon dating can reach 1.5 billion, and rubidium-strontium can reach 50 billion (nearly 4x the age of the universe). It depends on the context in which this question is being asked.

A 20-kg cart travels at 20 m/s in a circle with a radius of 20 m. What is the centripetal force?

Vlad1618 [11]

Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

   = (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)

   = (20 x 20 / 20) (kg-meter/sec²)

   = 20 newtons

An object is thrown directly downward from the top of a very tall building. The speed of the object just as it is released is 17

Softa [21]

Answer:

distance cover is = 102.53 m

Explanation:

Given data:

speed of object is 17.1 m/s

$t_1 = 3.32 sec$

$t_2 = 5.08 sec$

from equation of motion we know that

$d_1 = vt_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2$

where d_1 is distance covered in time t1

so $d_1 = 17.1 \times 3.32 + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \times 3.32^2$ =

$d_1 = 110.78 m$

$d_2 = vt_2 + \frac{1}{2} gt_2^2$

where d_2 is distance covered in time t2

$d_2 = 17.1 \times 5.08 + \frac{1}{2}\times9.8 \times 5.08^2$

$d_2 = 213.31 m$

distance cover is = 213.31 - 110.78 = 102.53 m

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation

Masteriza [31]

Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
