<h2>True</h2>

Scientists devised the geologic time scale after observing changes in fossils as they progressed from oldest to youngest sedimentary strata. Eons, eras, periods, and epochs make up the geologic time scale.

4. Describe how the velocity of an object changes if it undergoes uniformly acceleration motion. Can its direction change?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

n the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector therefore it has magnitude and direction, a change in either of the two is the consequence of an acceleration on the system.

In the case of linear motion, the change occurs in the magnitude of the velocity, the direction remaining constant.

              a_{t} = (v₂-v₁)/Δt

In the case of circular motion, the magnitude of the velocity remains constant, the change in its direction occurring.

                    a_{c} = v2/R

In the general case, both the module and the address change

             a = Ra (  a_{t}^2 +   a_{c}^2)

What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Explanation:

Energy of light is given as

E = hf

where E = energy of the photons,

f = frequency of the light

If the number of photons = n

(E/n) = (h/n) f

Let (E/n) = E'

(h/n) = h'

But the frequency of light is related to wavelength through the relation

v = fλ

where v = speed of light = c

λ = wavelength of light

f = (c/λ)

E' = h' f

Substituting for f

E' = h' (c/λ)

h' and c are both constants, h'×c = K

E' = (K/λ)

So, the quantity of energy per photon is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

Hope this Helps!!!

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

liquid?

Explanation:

liquid: A substance that flows and keeps no definite shape because its molecules are loosely packed and constantly moving. It takes the shape of its container but maintains constant volume.

You hang a heavy ball with a mass of 10 kg from a gold wire 2.6 m long that is 1.6 mm in diameter. You measure the stretch of th
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Young's Modulus is defined as the ratio of stress acting on a substance to the amount of strain produced.

The equation representing Young's Modulus is:

Y=\frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}=\frac{Fl}{A\Delta l}

where,

Y = Young's Modulus

F = force exerted by the weight  = m\times g

m = mass of the ball = 10 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^2

l = length of wire  = 2.6 m

A = area of cross section  = \pi r^2

r = radius of the wire = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.6mm}{2}=0.8mm=8\times 10^{-4}m      (Conversion factor:  1 m = 1000 mm)

\Delta l = change in length  = 1.99 mm = 1.99\times 10^{-3}m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Y=\frac{10\times 9.81\times 2.6}{(3.14\times (8\times 10^{-4})^2)\times 1.99\times 10^{-3}}\\\\Y=6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

Hence, the Young's modulus for the wire is 6.378\times 10^{10}N/m^2

A 20-pound object is dropped from a 50-foot bridge onto the ground below it. A 50-pound object is dropped from a 100-foot cliff
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

here 20 lb object will hit the ground first

Explanation:

Acceleration of the object while it is dropped in air is given as

F = mg

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = g

so acceleration of the object is independent of the mass of the object

now time to reach the ground is given as

h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

for 20 pound object

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(50)}{32}}

t_1 = 1.77 s

for 50 pound object

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{32}}

t_2 = 2.5 s
