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.

The product PV, where P and V represent pressure and volume respectively, is a unit for which?
Basile [38]
<span>PV is actually energy. P = F/A force per area, and V = A L, so PV = F L and force times distance is work which is energy. If you have P in N/m^2 and V in m^3, you have Joules, N-m.</span>

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/s in the opposite directi
Lelu [443]

Answer:

ΔP = 14.5 Ns

I = 14.5 Ns

ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN

Explanation:

The mass of the ball is given as 0.145 kg in the complete question. So, the change in momentum will be:

ΔP = mv₂ - mv₁

ΔP = m(v₂ - v₁)

where,

ΔP = Change in Momentum = ?

m = mass of ball = 0.145 kg

v₂ = velocity of batted ball = 55.5 m/s

v₁ = velocity of pitched ball = - 44.5 m/s (due to opposite direction)

Therefore,

ΔP = (0.145 kg)(55.5 m/s + 44.5 m/s)

<u>ΔP = 14.5 Ns</u>

The impulse applied to a body is equal to the change in its momentum. Therefore,

Impulse = I = ΔP

<u>I = 14.5 Ns</u>

the average force can be found as:

I = ΔF*t

ΔF = I/t

where,

ΔF = Average Force = ?

t = time of contact = 2.5 ms = 2.5 x 10⁻³ s

Therefore,

ΔF = 14.5 N.s/(2.5 x 10⁻³ s)

<u>ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN</u>
