6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ =  1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ =  1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .

A thin, light wire 75.2 cm long having a circular cross section 0.560 mm in diameter has a 25.2 kg weight attached to it, causin
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The stress is calculated as 1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the wire, l = 75.2 cm = 0.752 m

Diameter of the circular cross-section, d = 0.560 mm = 0.560\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Mass of the weight attached, m = 25.2 kg

Elongation in the wire, \Delta l = 1.10\ mm = 1.10\times 10^{- 3}\ m

Now,

The stress in the wire is given by:

Stress,\ \sigma = \frac{Force,\ F}{Area,\ A}          (1)

Now,

Force is due to the weight of the attached weight:

F = mg = 25.2\times 9.8 = 246.96\ N

Cross  sectional Area, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.560\times 10^{- 3}}{2})^{2} = 2.46\times 10^{- 7}\ m^{2}

Using these values in eqn (1):

\sigma = \frac{246.96}{2.46\times 10^{- 7}} = 1.003\times 10^{9}\ Pa

Index fossils are used to determine the relative ages of rock and fossils and are also used to
kolbaska11 [484]

Index fossils are used to determine the relative ages of rock and fossils and are also used to define the boundaries between geologic periods.

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The fossils which are recognized as fossils guides or indicator fossils are used to classify and recognize geological or faunal periods, termed as index fossils. It must be of short vertical reach, wide geographic distribution and swift patterns in evolution. It helps to assess the rock layers ' age and helps to date other fossils found close and around them. For an instance, Ammonites were abundant in the Mesozoic period between 245 to 65 mya, they have not been found after the Cretaceous era, as they became endangered during the K-T extinction (65 mya).
