Answer:

2.58 g/cm^3 is the particle density of a soil sample.

Explanation:

Percentage of Solid space = S%

Bulk density of the solid= B

Particle density of the solid = D

S\%=\frac{B}{D}\times 100

Percentage of Porosity in the solid= P%

P\%=100\%-S\%

We are given , P% = 40%

B = 1.55 g/cm^3

40%=100\%-S\%

S\%=100%-40\%=60\%

60\%=\frac{1.55 g/cm^3}{D}\times 100

D=\frac{1.55 gcm^3}{60}\times 100=2.58 g/cm^3

2.58 g/cm^3 is the particle density of a soil sample.

Question 18 Which moon in the table of moons should be the most rocky? Which one should be the most icy?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Ganymede is the biggest and the most massive moon of the planet Jupiter. It has a metallic core. It moves in an orbital path around the planet Jupiter and orbits every 6-7 days. Half of the moon is comprised of silicate rocky materials and half of it is made up of water ice. Out of all the moons, Ganymede has the highest rock composition.

Europa is one of the moons of Jupiter. It is even smaller than the earth's natural satellite (moon). The core of this moon is made up of iron and nickel, along with some silicate materials but they are extremely in a lesser amount in comparison to the earth's core. Europa's surface is comprised of ice and water is present in a significant amount below the surface.

Which region has an abundance of coal, timber, and rich farmland but must
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: C. Region B

Explanation:

Region B is the North American continent which includes the United States. Land here is quite fertile and resources are plentiful as the continent boasts of vast farmlands, timber and an abundance of coal.

The people of this continent therefore need not import a lot of things. They do however have to import oil. Even though there are rich oil deposits present, these are sometimes quite expensive to extract which is why the region needs to import some of the oil that its people need.
