<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>

I dont see your list anywhere, but if silver is on your list,, that would be the answer,

Cocaine, which is derived from the coca leaf, is grown mostly in Colombia and its neighboring countries while heroin, which is d

nevsk [136]

Answer:

Because of the location, humidity and temperatures.

Explanation:

Coca is grown in humid and very humid subtropical forests, called yungas and

they form the lower floor of the upper Jungle, in the Central Andes, mostly in Peru and Bolivia. The yungas are in contact with the rainforests of the lowlands in Amazonia, where it has been started to expand coca cultivation recently (Dourojeanni, 1988). The optimum altitude is 1000 a 2000 meters (where cocaine content is higher), with optimal annual average precipitation, is 2000 meters mm, but it is grown between 700 and 2000 msnm and with an average annual rainfall of 1000 to 4200 mm.

msnm = meters above sea level

Why is it important to use democratic method of choosing someone for a position of authority

dangina [55]

So that the correct representative of the people gets elected to head the people- so that a person who is thought to be capable enough to rule over people and take the correct decisions may be representative to the people.

A stationary 90 kg baseball pitcher throws a 0.15 kg baseball forward

Marina CMI [18]

Answer: momentum = 6kgm/s

Explanation:

given that the baseball pitcher is at stationary position, his velocity will be equal to zero. If velocity is zero, his linear momentum will therefore equal to zero.

Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Given that the baseball has

Mass M = 0.15 kg

Velocity V = 40 m/s

Momentum = MV

Momentum = 0.15 × 40 = 6 kgm/s

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

$-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Explanation:

r = Radius

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given by

$E=-\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow q=-\dfrac{1610\times 0.1^2}{8.99\times 10^9}\\\Rightarrow q=-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

$Q+q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{Er^2}{k}-q\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{120\times 0.35^2}{8.99\times 10^9}-(-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9})\\\Rightarrow Q=3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge is $3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}\ C$

The charge inside will have the polarity changed

$q=+1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Outside the charge will be

$3.4260289211\times 10^{-9}-1.7908787542\times 10^{-9}\\ =1.6351501669\times 10^{-9}\ C$

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?

zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured, once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors
