Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

A single Oreo cookie provides 53 kcal of energy. An athlete does an exercise that involves repeatedly lifting (without accelerat
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Approximately 325 (rounded down,) assuming that g = 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}}.

The number of repetitions would increase if efficiency increases.

Explanation:

Ensure that all quantities involved are in standard units:

Energy from the cookie (should be in joules, {\rm J}):

\begin{aligned} & 53\; {\rm kCal} \times \frac{1\; {\rm kJ}}{4.184\; {\rm kCal}} \times \frac{1000\; {\rm J}}{1\; {\rm kJ}} \approx 2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}.

Height of the weight (should be in meters, {\rm m}):

\begin{aligned} h &= 2\; {\rm dm} \times \frac{1\; {\rm m}}{10\; {\rm dm}} = 0.2\; {\rm m}\end{aligned}.

Energy required to lift the weight by \Delta h = 0.2\; {\rm m} without acceleration:

\begin{aligned} W &= m\, g\, \Delta h \\ &= 100\; {\rm kg} \times 9.81\; {\rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \times 0.2\; {\rm m} \\ &= 196\; {\rm N \cdot m} \\ &= 196\; {\rm J} \end{aligned}.

At an efficiency of 0.25, the actual amount of energy required to raise this weight to that height would be:

\begin{aligned} \text{Energy Input} &= \frac{\text{Useful Work Output}}{\text{Efficiency}} \\ &= \frac{196\; {\rm J}}{0.25} \\ &=784\; {\rm J}\end{aligned}.

Divide 2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J} by 784\; {\rm J} to find the number of times this weight could be lifted up within that energy budget:

\begin{aligned} \frac{2.551 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm J}}{784\; {\rm J}} &\approx 325 \end{aligned}.

Increasing the efficiency (the denominator) would reduce the amount of energy input required to achieve the same amount of useful work. Thus, the same energy budget would allow this weight to be lifted up for more times.

x rays with wavelength of 2.0nm scatter from a nacl crystal with plane spacing 0.281 nm find the scattering
ValentinkaMS [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of x-rays = 2 nm

Plane spacing, d = 0.281 nm

It is assumed to find the scattering angle for second order maxima.

For 2nd order, Bragg's law is given by :

2d\sin\theta=n\lambda

For second order, n = 2

\sin\theta=\dfrac{n\lambda}{2d}\\\\\sin\theta=\dfrac{2\times 2\ nm}{2\times 0.28\ nm}\\\\\theta=\sin^{-1}(7.14)

Here, θ is not defined. Also, the wavelength of x-rays is more than the plane spacing. It means that it cannot produce any diffraction maximum.
