How does rocks and fossils determine Earth's age?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two main ways to determine the age of a rock, these are Relative dating and Absolute dating. Relative dating is used to determine the relative order of past events by comparing the age of one object to another.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

rock and fossils are made by layers of dirt, sand,organic matter that has beem compressed over thousands,if not millions of years.

some scientists use this layering to determine how old the earth is.

its kind of like looking at the rings of a tree to see how old it is.

the scientists look at each layer of the rock or fossil and use what they already know about when this type of soil or organic matter existed and try to piece together the past

The commutator in a DC generator keeps the electric current flowing in one direction option (C) is correct.

What is a DC generator?

A direct current generator's principal job is to transform mechanical energy into electricity. Internal combustion engines, water, gas, steam turbines, and even hand cranks are all sources of mechanical energy for DC generators.

The commutator in a DC generator converts the alternate current into the direct current.

Thus, the commutator in a DC generator keeps the electric current flowing in one direction option (C) is correct.

give two differences between visible light and infrared light​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Visible light has a wavelength that ranges from 380 nm – 750 nm on the electromagnetic spectrum while infrared light is just beyond it, ranging from 700 nm – 1 mm, the start of the non-visible portion of the spectrum. As a result, infrared cannot be seen except with special equipment like a security camera

Visible light is the common lighting method and we see it all around us. It is used in homes, work areas, factory floors, parking lots, loading docks, etc. They are also used as warning systems and to provide lighting for CCTV cameras in public places. The presence of floodlights warns intruders that their actions are being monitored.

Infrared light, however, is used when the intention is to monitor intruders covertly. Without a bright light to warn them about the presence of security cameras, intruders no longer feel the need to avoid surveillance, leaving them exposed to the IR-illuminated cameras.

Answer:

1. For humans, we can only see visible light, but can't see infrared.

2. Infrared have longer wavelengths than visible light.

Explanation:

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed using adielectric material whose dielectric constant is 3.00 and whose dielectric strength is 2.00X108V/m. The desired capacitance is 0.250 μF, and the capacitor must withstand a maximum potential difference of 4.00 kV. Find the minimum area of the capacitor plates.

Answers

Answer:

A = 0.188 m²

Explanation:

First we find the distance between the plates by using the formula of electric field intensity:

E = ΔV/d

d = ΔV/E

where,

d = distance between plates = ?

ΔV = Potential Difference = 4 KV = 4000 V

E = Electric Field = 2 x 10⁸ V/m

Therefore,

d = 4000 V/(2 x 10⁸ V/m)

d = 2 x 10⁻⁵ m

Now, we find the Area of Plates by using formula of capacitance:

C = A∈₀∈r/d

where,

C = Capacitance = 0.25 μF = 0.25 x 10⁻⁶ F

A = Area of Plates = ?

∈₀ = Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C/N.m²

∈r = Dielectric Constant = 3

Therefore,

0.25 x 10⁻⁶ F = A(8.85 x 10⁻¹² C/N.m²)(3)/(2 x 10⁻⁵ m)

A = (0.25 x 10⁻⁶ F)(2 x 10⁻⁵ m)/(3)(8.85 x 10⁻¹² C/N.m²)

A = 0.188 m²

Answers

Answer:

The forces of push and pull

Explanation:

In the egg drop experiment, the egg is balanced on top of a toilet paper tube and balanced on a pan. The pan itself is placed on top of a glass of water. When the experimenter uses his hands to push the pan, the force of gravity pulls the egg downwards making it move down, right into the glass of water.

So the two forces which are applied in opposite directions are;

1. The force of push applied horizontally by the hand when it pushes the pan away, and

2. The force of pull caused by gravity which makes the egg move vertically downwards.

Forces of push and pull

A car tyre is pumped to a pressure of 20000 Nm-2 in the morning when the temperature is 23 oC. Later in the day, the temperature rises to 34 oC. Calculate the new pressure in the tyre. The volume is kept constant.

Answers

Answer:

20743.24 Nm¯²

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P1) = 20000 Nm¯²

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C

Final pressure (P2) =?

Volume = constant

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C

Initial temperature (T1) = 23 °C + 273 = 296 K

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C

Final temperature (T2) = 34 °C + 273 = 307 K

Finally, we shall determine the final (i.e the new) pressure of the tyre.

Initial pressure (P1) = 20000 Nm¯²

Initial temperature (T1) = 296 K

Final temperature (T2) = 307 K

Final pressure (P2) =?

Volume = constant

Since the volume is constant, the final (i.e the new) pressure of the tyre can be obtained by using the following formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

20000 / 296 = P2 /307

Cross multiply

296 × P2 = 20000 × 307

Divide both side by 296

P2 = (20000 × 307) /296

P2 = 20743.24 Nm¯²

Therefore, the new pressure of the tyre is 20743.24 Nm¯²

A rightward force of 302 N is applied to a 28.6-kg crate to accelerate it across the floor. The force of friction between the crate and the floor is 210. Determine the net force acting on the create. Determine the acceleration of the crate.

Answers

Answer:

Net Force is 92N and acceleration is 3.22 m/s/s

Explanation:

Fnet = Net force

FR = Force of friction

m = mass

a = acceleration

Fnet = ma

Fnet = F - FR = 302 - 210 = 92N

F - FR = ma

302 - 210 = (28.6)a

a = 3.22 m/s/s

Explanation:

Newton’s Three Laws of Motion has a great impact on the bowling game for the 2 students. When the student one throw ball to the student 2, the ball decrease its speed due to the gravity and opposing air. If these forces are removed from the system the ball will continue its motion till another force is applied on it. When the force applied to the ball it produces acceleration in the direction to the applied force. If the ball touches the ground it bounce back with equal force which is a reaction of the ground.

There are various units by which pressure is expressed most of which are derived units which are obtained from unit of force divided by unit of area . The SI unit of pressure is pascal .

It is a scalar quantity which is related to the vector area element with a normal force acting on it.It is distributed over solid boundaries and across arbitary sections of fluid normal to the boundaries at every point.
