The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter. A more dense object will sink, and a less dense object will float. Will a m

arble with a radius of 1.4 cm and a mass of 9 grams sink or float in water?

Ah clever. So you need two formulas.

1) Volume of the marble.

   4(pi)r^3/3
= 4(pi)(1.4)^3/3
<span>= 11.49 (approx)
</span>
2) Formula for density.
  
    D = M / V
        = 9 / 11.49
        = 0.78

0.78 < 1

Therefore the marble will float.

We need to know the density of the marble to know whether it will float or sink. If density is less than 1, it will float. If density more than 1, it will sink


Density  = mass divided by volume

Given:

  1. Mass = 9 grams
  2. Volume = 11.49 cubic centimeters

Since marble is spherical, we use formula for <u>volume of  sphere</u>

<u>Volume of sphere</u> = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}

since r = 1.4, we find the volume of marble:

Volume of marble = \frac{4}{3}\pi (1.4)^{3}\\=11.49


<u>Now, finding density</u>:

D=\frac{mass}{volume}\\D=\frac{9}{11.49}\\D=0.78

If D, the object will float.

Since 0.78, the marble will float.

A horse ran 800 meters in 40 seconds , 1200 meters in 60 seconds , and 480 meters in 24 seconds . Is this a proportional relatio
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

This is a proportional relationship, the constant of proportionality is 20m/s and it represents that the horse can run 20 meters every second.  

Equation:  d = 20s, where d=distance and s=number of seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out whether this relationship is proportional, you need to see if the rate at which the horse runs is constant (the same).  If you look at the three sets of data (24, 480), (40, 800) and (60, 1200) where the pair is (seconds, meters), you can see that for any two sets of data the change in meters divided by the change in seconds is consistently 20m/s.  For example:

\frac{1200-800}{60-40}=\frac{400}{20}=20

Since the constant is 20, we know that the horse can run 20 meters every second.  To find the horse's total distance, we need to multiply the rate by the number of seconds that it runs:

d = 20s
