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.

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C)  = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ  , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6   Ans

A bird flies at a speed of 2.3 m/s if it has 14 j of kinetic energy what is the mass
Sidana [21]
Kinetic Energy =  1/2 * mv²

Kinetic Energy = 14 J,  v = 2.3 m/s ,  m = ?

14  =      1/2 * m* 2.3²

14 = 0.5*m*2.3*2.3

m =  14 / (0.5*2.3*2.3)

m = 5.29 kg.

Mass = 5.29 kg.

(f) What do you mean by: (i) 1 J energy (ii) 1 W power​
max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s)

which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s. A Watt is the amount of energy (in Joules) that an electrical device (such as a light) is burning per second that it's running.
