If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement. 

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container.  The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it.  When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan.  It's equal to the volume of the object.

Challenge! A marshmallow is dropped from a 5-meter high pedestrian bridge and 0.83 seconds later, it lands right on the head of
WINSTONCH [101]

a₀).  You know ...
         -- the object is dropped from 5 meters
             above the pavement;
         --  it falls for 0.83 second.

a₁).  Without being told, you assume ...
         -- there is no air anyplace where the marshmallow travels,
             so it free-falls, with no air resistance;
         -- the event is happening on Earth,
            where the acceleration of gravity is  9.81 m/s² .

b).  You need to find how much LESS than 5 meters
       the marshmallow falls in 0.83 second.
    
c).  You can use whatever equations you like.
       I'm going to use the equation for the distance an object falls in
       ' T ' seconds, in a place where the acceleration of gravity is ' G '.

d).  To see how this all goes together for the solution, keep reading:


The distance that an object falls in ' T ' seconds
when it's dropped from rest is

                                 (1/2 G) x (T²) .

On Earth, ' G ' is roughly  9.81 m/s², so in 0.83 seconds,
such an object would fall

                               (9.81 / 2) x (0.83)² = 3.38 meters .

It dropped from 5 meters above the pavement, but it
only fell 3.38 meters before something stopped it.
So it must have hit something that was

                         (5.00 - 3.38)  =  1.62 meters

above the pavement.  That's where the head of the unsuspecting
person was as he innocently walked by and got clobbered.

The isotope 23893Np has a half-life of 2.0 days. If 4.00 grams are produced at noon on Monday, what will be the mass of neptuniu
viva [34]

Answer:

0.25 gram of neptunium is remaining

Explanation:

First we calculate the no. of half lives passed. For that we have formula:

n = t/T

where,

n = no. of half lives passed = ?

t = total time passed = 8 days (From Monday noon to Tuesday noon of following week)

T = Half Life Period = 2 days

Therefore,

n = 8 days/2 days

n = 4

Now, for the remaining mass of neptunium, we use the formula:

m = (mi)/(2)^n

where,

mi = initial mass of neptunium = 4.00 grams

m = remaining mass of neptunium = ?

Therefore,

m = 4 grams/2⁴

<u>m = 0.25 gram</u>
