Scientists use radioactive decay to measure

Physics
2 answers:
UNO [17]3 years ago

Answer:

"Scientist use radioactive decay to measure the age of a rock or fossil."

Explanation:

"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."

Radiometric dating, often called radioactive dating, is a technique used to determine the age of materials such as rocks. It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because  height will not change with mass.
