A model for the density δ of the earth’s atmosphere near its surface isδ=619.09−0.000097pwhere p (the distance from the center o

f the earth) is measured in meters and δ is measured in kilograms per cubic meter. If we take the surface of the earth to be a sphere with radius 6370 km, then this model is a reasonable one for:6.370×106≤p≤6.375×106 Use this model to estimate the mass of the atmosphere between the ground and an altitude of 5 km.

Answer: 3.751*10^18kg

Step-by-step explanation:

δ =619.09−0.000097p....equa1 where p (the distance from the center of the earth) is measured in meters and δ is measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

Calculating the density of air at 5km above earth surface

P = 5000m + 6370000m = 6.375*10^6m

δ = 619.09 -(.000097* 6.375*10^6)

δ = 0.715kg/m^3 = density

Since Mass = density*volume...equ2

To calculate volume of air around the spherical earth at height 5km

V = (4/3 pai R^3) - (4/3pai r^3) ...equation 3 where R =6.375*10^6m, r = 6.37*10^6

Substituting R and r in equation 2 to solve for volume of air

V = 1.085*10^21 - 1.08*10^21

V = 5.25*10^18m^3

Substituting δ and V into equation 2 to solve for mass of air

M = 0.715 * (5.25*10^18)

M = 3.751*10^18kg

Each cube in this rectangular prism is 1 cm3.What is the volume of the rectangular prism?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Volume of rectangular prism = 20\ cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangular prism is made up of small cubes of volume 1 cubic centimeter.

To find volume of rectangular prism.

Solution:

Volume of rectangular prism is = length\times width \times height

We know that all sides of a cube are equal in measure.

So, we will count the number of cubes on each side to get the exact measure.

Length side = 4 cubes = 5 cm

Width side = 2 cubes = 2 cm

Height side = 2 cubes = 2 cm

Thus volume of rectangular prism =  5\ cm\times 2\ cm \times 2\ cm

Volume of rectangular prism = 20\ cm^3

Jed wants to earn 25% annual net income on his $50,000 cash investment in property his annual expense of owning the property are
Elena L [17]

Answer: $1,842

Step-by-step explanation:

John wants to earn 25% of his investment of $50,000 which is:

= 25% * 50,000

= $12,500

He has expenses of $9,600 yearly so the rent he should charge per year in order to make his 25% requirement as income is:

= Expenses + Return

= 9,600 + 12,500

= $22,100

Rent per month is:

= 22,100 / 12

= $1,842

Name the sets of numbers to which -7/9 belongs
Arlecino [84]
Ok
the sets are
natural numbers (or counting numbers), this is like 1,2,3,4,5 etc

whole numbers, this is including 0, so 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 etc

integers, this includes the previoius set and negatives, so -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5 etc

rational numbers, this is the set of numbers that can be written in form a/b where b≠0, so all integers can be written like this, like example -3=-3/1, so -7/9 belongs here



-7/9 goes in the rational set

Brad wants to open a new savings account. He finds one that returns 3% on his investment each year.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

  • final balance: A
  • initial investment: P
  • return rate: r

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable assigments can be anything you like. It is often helpful to use variables that will remind you what they stand for. Here, we have chosen A = amount (final balance); P = principal (initial investment); r = rate.
