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 block with a mass of 8.7 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 8.7 m, and remains at rest after hitting the ground. 1)If we
Harlamova29_29 [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to gravitational potential energy.

This can be defined as the product between mass, gravity and body height.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\Delta P = mgh

\Delta P = (8.7)(9.8)(3)

\Delta P = 255.78J

Therefore the change in the internal energy of the system is 255.78

klemol [59]
A person on Earth would weigh a lot more on the sun due to increased gravity.

The sun is a massive object as compared to the sun. It is assumed that the gravity must be a lot greater as well. It is the strong gravitational pull of the sun that keeps our planets from drifting off into space. No matter where you are the mass of an object will remain constant, so will the energy and the number of atoms they hold. 

The answer is gravity.

inna [77]

Answer:

135° (degrees)

Explanation:

The Earth rotates 360° in about 24 h

How many degrees in 1 hour

360^{\circ}=24\ h\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=\frac{360}{24}\\\Rightarrow 1\ h=15^{\circ}

So, in 1 hour the Earth rotates 15 degrees. This means that a person would have to reset their watch by 1 hour after travelling 15 degrees

In 9 hours

9\ h=9\times 15^{\circ}=135^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow 9\ h=135^{\circ}

So, a person would have to travel 135 degrees in order to reset their watch by 9 hours.
