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.

Total potential and kinetic energy of an object.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Total Mechanical Energy

As already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

Can somebody help me with this I need to pass

<h2>Answer:Radiation-3,Conduction-1,Convection-2</h2>

Explanation:

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

These waves do not require any medium.This is the way we get heat from sun.Radiation is the quickest mode to transfer of heat.

Conduction is the transfer of heat through collisions of atomic particles.

This phenomenon largely occurs in solids like metals.The neighbour atoms sets the atoms into random motion thereby raising the temperature.

Convection is the transfer of heat through actual movement of medium particle.

This phenomenon occurs in gases an liquids.The medium particles actually traverse through the space transferring the heat.

1. An express train, traveling at 36 m/s, is accidentally sidetracked onto a local train track. The express engineer spots a loc

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

(i) 12 seconds

(ii) 216 meters from the initial position

(iii) 132 meters from the initial position

(iv) No

Explanation:

Speed of express train =36 m/s

Speed of local train =11 m/s

The initial distance between the local train and passenger train =100 m.

Due to the application of breaks, the express train slows at the rare of $3.0 m/s^2.$

So, the acceleration of the express train, $a=-3 m/s^2$ .

(i) Let t be the time the express train takes to stop.

From the equation of motion,

v=u+at

where, v: final velocity, u: initial velocity, a: constant acceleration, t: time taken to change the speed from u to v.

In this case, v=0, u=36 m/s, $a=-3 m/s^2$

So, 0=36+(-3)t

$\Rightarrow t= 36/3=12$ seconds.

(ii) To compute the distance traveled, s, till the express train stops, using

$v^2=u^2+2as$

$\Rightarrow 0^2=36^2+2(-3)s$

$\Rightarrow s=\frac{36\times36}{6}$

$\Rightarrow s=216$ meters.

(iii) The local train is moving at a speed of 11 m/s

So, in 12 seconds, the distance, d, traveled by the local train

d= 11x12=132 meters [as distance= speed x time]

(iv) Let 0 be the reference position which is the initial position of the express train.

So, at the initial time, the position of the local train is at 100m.

After 12 seconds:

The position of the express train is at 216 m [using part (ii)]

and the position of the local train is at 100+132=232m [using part (iii)].

So, the local train is still ahead of the express train, hence the trains didn't collide.
