Is Radioactive decay a way to find the relative age of a rock? True False

Physics
1 answer:
galina1969 [7]3 years ago
5 0
To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events.

What type of energy waves are used in Solar Cells, and what is it’s position on the electromagnetic spectrum?
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

Explain how all the organelles in a cell model work together to provide nutrition and energy for the cell.
slega [8]
These organelles are like the organs in a human and they help the cell stay alive. Each organelle has it's own specific function to help the cell survive. The nucleus of a eukaryotic cell directs the cell's activities and stores DNA. Eukaryotes also have a golgi apparatus that packages and distributes proteins.

Which accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept a constant volume
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

An increase in pressure

Explanation:

The ideal gas law states that:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the temperature of the gas

in the equation, n and R are constant. For a gas kept at constant volume, V is constant as well. Therefore, from the formula we see that if the temperature (T) is increase, the pressure (p) must increase as well.

1. Should water be classified as renewable or nonrenewable? Explain your reasoning.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Renewable Resource Hydropower is renewed by the Earth's hydrologic cycle. Water has also been considered renewable, but overpumping of groundwater is depleting aquifers, and pollution threatens the use of many water resources, showing that the consequences of resource use are not always simple depletion.For low-mass stars (left hand side), after the helium has fused into carbon, the core collapses again. As the core collapses, the outer layers of the star are expelled. A planetary nebula is formed by the outer layers. The core remains as a white dwarf and eventually cools to become a black dwarf. inexpensive compared to coal ... o Two types of coal—low rank (pollutes more), and high rank.
