A bag contains only red and blue marbles. Yasmine takes one marble at random from the bag. The probability that she takes a red

marble is 1 in 5. Yasmine returns the marble to the bag and adds five more red marbles to the bag. The probability that she takes one red marble at random is now 1 in 3. How many red marbles were originally in the bag?

If there are x red marbles initially then 1/5 is a probability in it's lowest form cancelled down from: 

<span>1/5 = x/5x </span>

<span>so there are 5x total marbles, x red and 4x blue. </span>
<span>Add 5 new red and the new probability is: </span>

<span>(x+5)/(5x+5) = 1/3 </span>

<span>3x+15 = 5x+5 </span>

<span>2x = 10 </span>

<span>originally there were: </span>

<span>x = 5 red </span>
<span>4x = 20 blue </span>

<span>marbles. </span>

<span>*************** </span>
<span>there are now: </span>

<span>x+5 = 10 red </span>
<span>4x = 20 blue </span>

<span>marbles</span>

A beam of light with a wavelength 760 nm in air travels in water. The index of refraction of water is 1.33. What is the waveleng
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em>The wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

Explanation:

Refractive index of water = wave length of light in air/wave length of light in water

R.d = λ₁/λ₂.................. Equation 1

making λ₂ the subject of equation 1

λ₂ = λ₁/R.d...................... Equation 2

R.d = refractive index of water , λ₁ = wave length of light in air, λ₂ = wave length of light in water

<em>Given: R.d = 1.33, λ₁ = 760nm</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

λ₂  = 760/1.33

<em>λ₂  = 571.43 nm</em>

<em>Therefore the wavelength of water = 571.43 nm</em>

A(n) 9.9 g bullet is fired into a(n) 138 g block of wood at rest on a horizontal surface and stays inside. After impact, the blo
kompoz [17]

Answer:

185.25 m/s

Explanation:

consider the motion of the combination of bullet and block after the collision

v₀ = initial speed just after the collision

v' = final speed = 0 m/s

μ = Coefficient of friction = 0.6

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

a = acceleration of the combination = - μ g = - (0.6) (9.8) = - 5.88 m/s²

d = stopping distance = 13 m

using the kinematics equation

v'² = v₀² + 2 a d

0² = v₀² + 2 (- 5.88) (13)

v₀ = 12.4 m/s

m = mass of the bullet = 9.9 g = 0.0099 kg

M = mass of the wood = 138 g = 0.138 kg

v = speed of bullet before collision

v₀ = speed of combination after the collision = 12.4 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v = (m + M) v₀

(0.0099) v = (0.0099 + 0.138) (12.4)

v = 185.25 m/s

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!?<br> I NEED HELP PLEASE!!
Dmitry [639]
The first one is decreases because there are less molecules in the air.
The second on would be the last option, August 29, because a new moon occurs every 29 days.
The answer for the last one would be A, I presume, because when air masses arrive at a destination, it becomes dry.

A first-order reaction has a rate constant of 0.241/min. if the initial concentration of a is 0.859 m, what is the concentration
nordsb [41]

Answer: 0.077 M

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.241minute^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = 10 minutes

a = initial amount of the reactant= 0.859 M

a - x = amount left after decay process =?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.241 minutes^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{10.0}\log\frac{0.859}{a-x}

(a-x)=0.077M

Thus the concentration of a after 10.0 minutes is 0.077 M.
