The granite would be older. As millions of years go by, rocks are affected by weathering and erosion. These processes break down rocks and scatter them. Rocks are broken down into sediments, which mix with other layers, which could have been the reason how the layer of sandstone contains the small fragments of granite.

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground with an initial speed v at an upward angle θ. A player a distance d away in the directio
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Explanation:

Using the formula for "range" in projectile motion to derive the average speed before the ball hits the ground.

Range is the distance covered by the body in the horizontal direction from the point of launch to the point of landing.

According to the range formula,

R = U²sin2θ/g

Cross multiplying we have;

Rg = U²sin2θ

Dividing both sides by sin2θ, we have;

U² = Rg/sin2θ

Taking the square root of both sides we have;

√U² = √Rg/sin2θ

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Therefore, his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground is √Rg/sin2θ

Bill and Nageen have each built an electric motor and they are testing them by having them lift boxes. Bill's motor lifts a box
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Bill's motor power: W_B = F x S / T = F x 0.35 / 2= 0.175F

Nageen's motor power: W_N = F x S / T = F x 0.35 / 1.8 = 0.194F

=> 0.194F > 0.175F => Nageen's motor applied more power to the box than Bill's motor.
