Scientists use radioactive decay to measure

Physics
2 answers:
UNO [17]3 years ago
5 0

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!

Two technicians are discussing electromagnetic induction. Technician A says that the induced voltage can be increased if the spe
Inga [223]

Answer:Both

Explanation:

There are three ways to increase the induced voltage in electromagnetic induction:

1) increase the speed at which the conductor moves through the magnetic field. This means that the lines of flux are cut more quickly and more emf is induced.

2) use stronger magnets which provides a stronger magnetic field and more densely packed lines of flux.

3) use a coil of multiple loops.

Hence both technicians were correct.

What's the formula to find out power
Julli [10]

In general, 

                 Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .

If it's mechanical power, then     

                 Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .

If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:

                 Power  =  (volts)  x  (amperes)

                 Power  =  (volts)²  /  (resistance, ohms)

                 Power  =  (amperes)²  x  (resistance, ohms) .

Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be

                  (amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
                  (time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .

Ksp = [Ba⁺²][SO₄⁻²]

[Ba⁺²] = [SO₄⁻²] for barium sulfate
Thus,
Ksp = (1 x 10⁻⁵)²
Ksp = 1 x 10⁻¹⁰
