The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow

er. (This assumes that the rate snow melts is proportional to the area exposed to the air -- i.e. the surface area of the snowball.) If a snowball of radius 1 foot (volume 4/3 \[Pi] cubic feet) melts in 6 hours, how long will it take a snowball of raduis 3 feet (volume 36 cubic feet) to melt?

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of  snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) =  (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. However, since speed is not a _______ it does not require a(n )___
Arturiano [62]

Speed is different from velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity and has a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and does not require a direction. The answer must be D).

A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61

Please left home at 8 AM to spend the day at in amusement park. He arrived at the park, which was 150 KM from his house, at 10 A
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

We can use the equation for the speed

v=\frac{x}{t}

where x is the distance and t the time. In this case we know that the time spent was 2 hours and the distance was 150km. By replacing we have

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

I hope this useful for you

regards
