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

Physics

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.

How much force is needed to stretch a spring 1. 2 m if the spring constant is 8. 5 N/m? 7. 1 N 7. 3 N 9. 7 N 10. 2 N.
statuscvo [17]

The amount of force required to stretch or compress the spring is known as the spring force. Its unit is Newton(N). Force is needed to stretch spring is 10.2 N.

<h3>What is spring force?</h3>

The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is

F = kx

The given data in the problem is;

F is the spring force =?

K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m

x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m

\rm F_S=Kx \\\\ \rm F_S=8.5 \times 1.2 \\\\ \rm F_S=10.2 N

Hence the force is needed to stretch the spring is 10.2 N.

To learn more about the spring force refer to the link;

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
hjlf

Answer:

B. 22,22,23,23,22,22,23

Explanation:

The standard deviation is a measure of dispersion or variability of a data set. In order to determine the data set that has the smallest standard deviation, we shall investigate on the ranges of the data sets given. The range of a data set is simply the difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set. A data set that has a smaller range also has a smaller standard deviation.

From the alternatives given, the data set given by alternative B has the smallest range and consequently the smallest standard deviation.

The maximum value is 23 while the minimum is 22. The range is 1.
