Sally finds a coin with a radius of 1.5 centimeters and a thickness of 0.25 cm. It has a measured mass of 18.54 grams. How can S

ally use this to determine if the coin is made of Lead (density of 11.3 g/cubic centimeter) or Silver (10.49 g/cubic centimeter)? What is the coin made of? Explain.

Answer:

Silver

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of the coin

<u>Volume of a cylinder</u>

\textsf{V}=\sf \pi r^2 h \quad\textsf{(where r is the radius and h is the height)}

Given:

  • r = 1.5 cm
  • h = 0.25 cm

Substituting given values into the formula to find the volume:

\sf \implies V=\pi (1.5)^2(0.25)

\sf \implies V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Find the density of the coin given it has a measured mass of 18.54 g

<u>Density formula</u>

\sf \rho=\dfrac{m}{V}

where:

  • \rho = density
  • m = mass
  • V = volume

Given:

  • m = 18.54 g
  • \sf V=0.5625 \pi \:cm^3

Substituting given values into the density formula:

\implies \sf \rho=\dfrac{18.54}{0.5625 \pi}

\implies \sf \rho=10.49149385\:g\:cm^{-3}

Given:

  • \textsf{Density of Lead}=\sf 11.3\:g\:cm^{-3}
  • \textsf{Density of Silver}=\sf 10.49\:g\:cm^{-3}

Therefore, as \sf \rho=10.49\:g\:cm^{-3} the coin is made from silver.

Each day 1/2 of the money that is in bank value is removed. No money is added to the value. Which of the following represent the
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Option C. exponential decay function

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

y=a(b^x)

where

y ---> is the money that is in the bank

x ----> number of days

a ---> is the initial value or y-intercept

b is the base of the exponential function

r ---> is the rate of change

b=(1+r)

In this problem we have that

Each day 1/2 of the money that is in bank value is removed

so

r=-50\%=-50/100=-0.50 ---> is negative because is a decreasing function

The value of b is equal to

b=1-r=1-0.50=0.50

y=a(0.50^x)

The value of b is less than 1

b<1

That means -----> Is a exponential  decay function
