Because the fossil show layers and those layers show what kind of settlements where left behind at that layer
Answer:
10.6cm
Explanation:
We are given 5.3cm below the starting point (spring extension).
Therefore, to find static vertical equilibrium, we use the equation:
kx = mg
Where:
k = spring constant =
=mg/5.3 kg/s²
We are told the object was dropped from rest.
Therefore:
loss in potential energy = gain in spring p.e
Let's use the expression:
mgx = ½kx²
We are asked to find the stretch at maximum elongation x.
To find x, we make x subject of the formula.
Therefore, we have:
x = 2mg/k (after rearranging the equation above)
x = (2mg) / (mg/5.3)
x = 10.6cm
Spherical because it’s more like clouds
M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg
m = mass of the seal = 200 kg
V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s
v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s
V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?
Using conservation of momentum
M V + m v = (M + m) V'
inserting the above values in the equation
(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'
6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'
V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)
V' = 5 m/s
