Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

g If the x-component of a force vector is 5.69 newtons and its y-component is 8.00 newtons, then what is its magnitude?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

F = 9.82 N

Explanation:

given,

Force x-component = 5.69 N

Force y-component = 8 N

magnitude of force = ?

Resultant of force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{5.69^2 + 8^2}

F = \sqrt{32.3761 + 64}

F = \sqrt{96.3761}

F = 9.82 N

Hence, the magnitude of force is equal to 9.82 N

Find the difference between two masses measured as 123.6 grams and 115.972 grams. Express the answer to the correct number of si
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The difference is 7.6 grams.

Explanation:

In mathematics the difference of two numbers is express as the subtraction between them:

         

a-b

So to find out the difference between the two measured masses, a will be represented by 123.6 grams since is the bigger number, and b by 115.972 grams.

Therefore, it is get:

123.6grams-115.972grams = 7.6grams

<u>Hence, the difference is 7.6 grams. </u>

The result of 7.628 will be expressed as 7.6 to have the correct number of significant figures.          

 

Notice how that can be express in units of kilograms too since there is 1000 gram in 1 kilogram:

7.6grams . \frac{1Kg}{1000grams} ⇒ 7.6x10^{-3}Kg
