Which of the following was used to provide the oldest measurement of Earth's age?

Physics
1 answer:
Viktor [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Isotopic dating of meteor fragments

Explanation:

Earth is so old that its age can only be determined using isotopic dating. The oldest measurement of Earth's age was determined using isotopic dating of meteor fragments.

A large crate is suspended from the end of a vertical rope. Is the tension in the rope greater when the crate is at rest or when
choli [55]

Answer:

Part a)

the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

tension force is more than the weight of the crate while accelerating upwards

tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

Explanation:

Part a)

When large crate is suspended at rest or moving with uniform speed then it is given as

F_t - mg = ma

here since speed is constant or it is at rest

so we will have

a = 0

F_t = mg

so the tension force is equal to the weight of the crate

Part b)

Now let say the crate is accelerating upwards

now we can say

F_t - mg = ma

F_t = mg + ma

so tension force is more than the weight of the crate

Now if the crate is accelerating downwards

F_t - mg = -ma

F_t = mg - ma

so tension force is less than the weight of crate if it is accelerating downwards

A carpenter is driving a 15.0-g steel nail into a board. His 1.00-kg hammer is moving at 8.50 m/s when it strikes the nail. Half
bekas [8.4K]

Answer: The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.0636 Kelvins. The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the hammer ,K.E.=

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}1.00 kg\times (8.50 m/s)^2=36.125 J

Half of the kinetic energy of the hammer is transformed into heat in the nail.

Energy transferred to the nail in one blow =

\frac{1}{2}K.E.=\frac{1}{2}\times 36.125 J=18.0625 J

Total energy transferred after 3 blows,Q =3\times 18.0625 J=54.1875 J

Mass of the nail = 15 g = 0.015 kg

Change in temperature =\Delta T

Specif heat of the steel = c = 448 J/kg K

Q=mc\Delta T

54.1875 J=0.015 kg\times 448 J/kg K\times \Delta T

\Delta T=8.0636 K\approx 8.1 K

The increase in temperature of the nail after the three blows is 8.1  Kelvins.Hence, correct option is (d).

A simple pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of a planet. The pendulum has a length of
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer

Explanation:

We have given length of the pendulum l = 2 m

Time period of the pendulum T = 2 sec

We have to find acceleration due to gravity g

We know that time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

2=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

0.3184= \sqrt{\frac{2}{g}}

Squaring both side

0.1014= {\frac{2}{g}}

g=19.71=20m/sec^2

So acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/sec^2

So option (E) will be correct answer.
