Answer:

Mass = 2734.875 kg

Explanation:

Given that A water holding tank measures 85 m long, 55 m wide, and 9 m deep.

The volume = 85 × 55 × 9 =

= 42075 m^3

Traces of mercury have been found in the tank, with a concen- tration of 65 mg/L.

1 m^3 = 1000 L

Convert cubic meters to litres.

42075 × 1000 = 42075000 L

From definition of density,

Density = mass ÷ volume.

Substitute the given density and the calculated density into the formula

65 = mass ÷ 42075000

Cross multiply

Mass = 65 × 42075000

Mass = 2734875000 mg

Convert mg to kg

To do that, you will divide the answer by 1000000

2734875000 ÷ 1000000

= 2734.875 kg

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human  body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance  for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

a)

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

b)

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = \frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}

= \frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}

= 2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) =  1.2  *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

Motion is always compared to something called
HACTEHA [7]

Movement can be without change in positions. As only a part of it can be made to move. If you move there is a motion and if there is a motion there is a movement so they're same thing. In motion whole of body moves, but in movements only the parts of body moves.

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed. A person is limited in the total work he or she can do only by the total energ
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Explanation:

In this question we have to choose the statements related to Power that are True.

In this sense, Power P is the speed with which work W is done. Its unit is Watts (W), being 1 W=\frac{1 Joule}{1 s}.  

Power is mathematically expressed as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time during which work W is performed.

On the other hand, the Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path. It is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter (1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm ).

So, according to this explanation, the true statements are:

Power is the rate at which energy is transformed.

The SI unit of power is the watt.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

How do scientists determine the number of neutrons in an isotope of an atom?
ikadub [295]
D.  The atomic mass in amu is basically the number or nuclei since the mass of the electrons is negligible.  For a given atom (element) the number of protons is fixed.  Say the element has 10 protons.  If the atomic weight is 14 atomic mass units (amu), you know that there are 4 neutrons, since both neutrons and protons are 1 amu each and there are 10 protons
