Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.

Answer:

No, projectile launched at 20° landed first.

Explanation:

70° projectile had a vertical velocity of v*sin(70), which is significantly bigger than v*sin(20). Since v=vx+at, we can see that Vyi*sin(20)-gt < Vyi*sin(70)-gt

solve for t, you can check that by substituting velocity for any number.

A particle whose speed is 50 m/sec moves along the line from A(2,1) to B (9,25)
WINSTONCH [101]

First, calculate for the distance between the given points A and B by using the equation,

<span>                                                D = sqrt ((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)</span>

 

Substitute the known values:

<span>                                                D = sqrt((9 – 2)2 + (25 – 1)2)</span>

<span>                                                D = 25 m</span>

 

I assume the unknown here is the time it would require for the particle to move from point A to B. This can be answered by dividing the calculated distance by the speed given above.

<span>                                                t = (25 m)/ (50 m/s) = 0.5 s</span>

 

<span>Thus, it will take 0.5s for the particle to complete the route. </span>

Which are characteristics of a gas? (Select all that apply.)It cannot move.It fills the container it is in.It can be compressed.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:  no definite shape (takes the shape of its container)

no definite volume.

particles move in random motion with little or no attraction to each other.

highly compressible.

Explanation:

Gases have three characteristic properties: (1) they are easy to compress, (2) they expand to fill their containers, and (3) they occupy far more space than the liquids or solids from which they form.
