What is the population of the fourth largest city in a country where the rank-size rule applies, if the largest city is one million (1,000,000) in population?

a. 250,000

b. 333,333

c. 500, 000

d. 666,667

Answer:

a. 250000

Explanation:

This question links to applied human geography of cities & urban land use it shows a models of urban hierarchies where the right tool of population measurement is the rank-size rule.

The rank size rule helps us understand that the nth largest city in a given country can be calculated by understanding that the integer of interest can be used to divide largest city's population. In this case of the nth population of the population of the largest city in a given country is equal to 1/n of the population of the largest city in a given country.

Thus, like in the question the largest city in a given country has a population of 1,000,000, yet we seek to find the population of the fourth largest city in the given country.

According to the formula above;

nth= I/n × population of largest city

4th = 1/4 × 1000000

4th largest city= 250000 people

Hence the 4th largest city has a population of 250000 people in it.

  • Answer:

The fourth largest city will have a population of 250,000

Explanation:

Rank Size Rule is a simple model which states that population size of a given city tends to be equal to the population of the largest city divided by the rank of the given city

The rank size rule states that the nth largest city in a given country will have \frac{1}{n} of the population of the largest city in that country. If the largest city has a population 1,000,000, and we want to know the population of the fourth largest city, it will have \frac{1}{4} of the population of the largest city.

From the question,

Fourth (4th) largest city population = \frac{1}{4} x \frac{1,000,000}{1}

= \frac{1,000,000}{4}

=250,000

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container changes from 53.0 Bar to 35.2 Bar, the temperature changes from _____
viktelen [127]

Answer:

156.1^{\circ}C

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

\frac{p}{T}=const.

where

p is the pressure

T is the absolute temperature

The equation can be also rewritten as

\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}

where, in this problem:

p_1 = 53.0 Bar is the initial pressure

p_2=35.2 Bar is the final pressure

T_2=12.0^{\circ}+273=285 K is the final temperature

Solving for T1, we find the initial temperature:

T_1=\frac{p_1 T_2}{p_2}=\frac{(53.0)(285)}{35.2}=429.1 K

Converted into Celsius degrees,

T_2=429.1-273=156.1^{\circ}C

Why is Wilhem Wundt considered the "Father of Psychology"?
xxMikexx [17]
Wilhelm Windy was the first psychologist (self declared.) He was the first to create the study of the mind's own science, psychology. Before, the study of the mind was just a small part of both physiology and philosophy. Wundt believed it should be its own science. He created the first laboratory for psychology.

ok so she is selling the card for .75 but makes a profit of .35

.75-.35=.4 (what wasn't profit) divid 42 by .4

42/.4=105+42 (have to add in profit portion) =$147 Gross income
