So the frequency is f =10 cycles / 120 s = 0.0833 cycles/s. Answer: D. Frequency refers to the number of occurrences of a periodic event per time and is measured in cycles/second. In this case, there are 10 cycles per 2 minutes (also known as 10 cycles per 120 seconds).
From the scientific viewpoint, the Earth would have had to form about 4.54 billion years since the earliest material in the solar system is dated back to about this time period.
He took them to the Argonne National Laboratory, where he was granted time on a late-model mass spectrometer. In a meeting in Wisconsin soon afterward, Patterson revealed the results of his study. The definitive age of the Earth is 4.550 billion years (give or take 70 million years). The current estimate for the age of the earth is 4.54 Â± 0.05 billion years (4.54 Ã 109 years Â± 1%).
