Answer:

The mass of the bar = 199.87 grams

Explanation:

Given:

Density of a brass bar = 9.87 $g/cm^3$

Volume of bar = 20.25 $cm^3$

To find the mass of the brass bar.

Solution:

Density of a body is defined as mass of the body per unit volume of the body.

Thus, we have:

$\rho=\frac{m}{V}$

where:

$\rho\rightarrow$ density of the body

$m\rightarrow$ mass of the body

$V\rightarrow$ Volume of the body

Plugging in the given values.

$9.87\ g/cm^3=\frac{m}{20.25\ cm^3}$

Solving for $m$

Multiplying both sides by 20.25 $cm^3$ .

$20.25\ cm^3\times 9.87\ g/cm^3=\frac{m}{20.25\ cm^3}\times 20.25\ cm^3$

$199.87\ g =m$

∴ $m=199.87\ g$

Thus, the mass of the bar = 199.87 grams

the half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. After 11,460 year, how much of original carbon-14 remains?

Inessa [10]

Via the half-life equation:

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}$

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}$

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.

g In 1956, Frank Lloyd Wright proposed the construction of a mile-high building in Chicago. Suppose the building had been constr

Lorico [155]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to acceleration due to gravity, as well as Newton's second law that describes the weight based on its mass and the acceleration of the celestial body on which it depends.

In other words the acceleration can be described as

$a = \frac{GM}{r^2}$

Where

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius of Earth

This equation can be differentiated with respect to the radius of change, that is

$\frac{da}{dr} = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}$

$da = -2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr$

At the same time since Newton's second law we know that:

$F_w = ma$

Where,

m = mass

a =Acceleration

From the previous value given for acceleration we have to

$F_W = m (\frac{GM}{r^2} ) = 600N$

Finally to find the change in weight it is necessary to differentiate the Force with respect to the acceleration, then:

$dF_W = mda$

$dF_W = m(-2\frac{GM}{r^3}dr)$

$dF_W = -2(m\frac{GM}{r^2})(\frac{dr}{r})$

$dF_W = -2F_W(\frac{dr}{r})$

But we know that the total weight (F_W) is equivalent to 600N, and that the change during each mile in kilometers is 1.6km or 1600m therefore:

$dF_W = -2(600)(\frac{1.6*10^3}{6.37*10^6})$

$dF_W = -0.3N$

Therefore there is a weight loss of 0.3N every kilometer.

Compare two processes we use to measure the age of Earth and its parts.

yan [13]

Answer:

Generally speaking, scientists have developed four different methods of determining the age of the earth. By using these methods, or a combination of them, the age of geological formations created by past events and even the fossilized bones of prehistoric animals can be determined.

Based on the research done by scientists, the Geologic Column, a graph that illustrates earth age, was developed. The Column, with its names for the epochs and eras of time, illustrates what scientists think was taking place in earth history. A small version of the Geologic Column is pictured at the right.

Answer:

longing for social inclusion.

Explanation:

Ross here is longing for social inclusion.

He decides to campaign for the his fraternity brother not by choice or will but by peer pressure and social inclusion because most of the students campaigned for Henry so he supports Henry as well. Moreover, he did not be feel left out and he did not have a clear preference as well.
