How do index fossils help scientistsHow do index fossils help scientists? They aid in the study of ranges of different organisms.
They advance understanding of the origin of life on Earth.
They aid in comparison of rock layers at distant locations.
They advance understanding of rock type at the time the organism lived.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

Astudent is trying to create a table that compares hypotheses, theories, and laws. hypothesis theory law do scientific researchers formulate it? yes yes yes does it explain why things happen? yes yes no yes yes yes is it used to make predictions? no yes yes which of the following questions would most likely fill the blank in the table? is it an intelligent guess? is it newly formulated? is it based on observations? has it been proved?
