The reason you only see fossils in sedimentary rock is that these set of rocks are formed in much lower pressure and temperature, compared to the other types of rocks like igneous rocks.

Problem 3: A basketball player is running at 4.75 m/s toward the basket when he jumps into the air to dunk the ball. He maintain
LekaFEV [45]

Answer

given,

speed of the basketball player, v_x = 4.75 m/s

height of the jump = ?

a) initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

   final vertical velocity = ?

       height, h = 0.75 m

 using equation of motion

   v² = u² +  2 g h

   v² = 0² +  2 x 9.8 x  0.75

   v² = 14.7

   v = 3.83 m/s

b) let horizontal distance= x m

 maximum height at time , t s

 time taken to reach maximum height

    t = \dfrac{3.83}{9.8}

         t = 0.39 s

    horizontal distance

             = v_x  × t

             = 4.75 × 0.39

             = 1.85 m

horizontal distance is equal to 1.85 m

The edge of a flying disc with a radius of 0.13 m spins with a tangential speed of 3.3 m/s.
Aleks [24]

By definition, centripetal acceleration is given by:

a = \frac{v ^ 2}{r}

Where,

v: tangential disk speed

r: disk radius

Substituting values in the given equation we have:

a =\frac{3.3^2}{0.13}\\a = 83.76923077

Rounding the result we have:

a = 83.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the disc edge in m/s^2 is:

a = 83.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

What is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave that has a wavelength of 300,000 km? (the speed of light is 300,000 km/s.)?
expeople1 [14]
Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by  frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000  km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
                 = 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

The characteristic that gives an element its distinctive properties is its number of:_________
oee [108]

The characteristic that gives an element its distinctive properties is its number of protons because the number of protons of any element represents its atomic number.

<h3>What is the atomic number?</h3>

The total number of protons present in an atom is known as the atomic number of that atom. The atomic number has no correlation either with the number of neutrons or the number of electrons present inside an atom.

Since the number of protons in any element corresponds to its atomic number, this property provides an element with its particular features.
