Answer:

Workdone = 600 Kilojoules

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Time = 8 seconds

Power = 75,000 Watts

Distance = 58 m

To find the work done;

Power can be defined as the energy required to do work per unit time.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Power = \frac {Energy}{time}$

Thus, work done is given by the formula;

Workdone = power * time

Workdone = 75000 * 8

Workdone = 600,000 = 600 KJ

Answer:

85.62 m

168.75 years

101.04 years

Explanation:

$L_0$ = Length of ship = 143 m

v = Velocity of ship = 0.8c

c = Speed of light

s = Distance to Boralis orbit = 135 ly

Gamma value

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.8^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=1.67$

Length contraction is given by

$L=\dfrac{L_0}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{143}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow L=85.62\ m$

The length is 85.62 m

Time taken

$t=\dfrac{s}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{135}{0.8}\\\Rightarrow t=168.75\ years$

Time taken from the perspective one Earth is 168.75 years

Time dilation is given by

$t'=\dfrac{t}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{168.75}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow t'=101.04\ years$

The time taken from the perspective of the ship is 101.04 years

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).
