<h2>
Answer: (C) Radioactive dating</h2>
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which the nucleus of an atom disintegrates, giving way to the emission of radiation and the appearance of a new nucleus, releasing energy in the process.
<u>This process is widely used in</u><u> radioactive dating</u> (also called isotopic dating or radioisotope dating) in which radioactive impurities were selectively incorporated when the fossil materials were formed.
In this sense, when dating the age of the Earth and its components, it is useful to compare them with a naturally occurring radioisotope having a known half-life (generally uranium-238 is used and sometimes carbon-14).
Answer:
Longitudinal waves
Explanation:
Tuning forks create sound waves and sound waves are longitudinal
<span>We know the change of thermal energy is proportional to the specific heat of the matter, its mass and the change of temperatures, according the following formula:
Q = C*m*(Tf-Ti)
where:
Q is the heat added or removed (in joules, J)
C is the specific heat of the matter, in our case air 1,000 J/(Kg*C)
m is the mass, in our case 50 kg of air
Tf is final temperature
Ti is initial temperature
then:
Q = 1000 * 50 * (30-20) = 500,000 Joules
That means that 500,000 joules need to be added to increase temperature of the room 10 ÂşC (from 20 to 30 ÂşC)</span>
Longitudinal wave is a wave in which the motion of the medium's particles is parallel to the direction of the energy transport.
