A lab technician shows up to the lab at 9am on Monday and finds a culture of bacteria x containing 5328 bacteria. Each culture s

hould be labeled with the date and time the initial bacteria were placed in the culture as well as number of bacteria initially put in the culture. The technician who started this culture noted that there were 6 bacteria initially, but forgot to put the time and date. The technician watches the culture and notes that at noon there are 10,656 bacteria in the culture. When was the culture started?

Answer:

9 pm on a Sunday, 55 .5 days before

Step-by-step explanation:

if there were 6 bacteria initially and from the growth rate we noticed that it doubled every 3 hours

because by 9 am Monday morning there were 5328 bacteria and then by 12 noon (3 hours later), there were 10, 656 bacteria

what we need to know is how long did it take 6 bacteria to become 5328

so

if 6 bacteria = 1 hour

12 bacteria = 3 hours

24 bacteria = 6 hours

then

5328 bacteria = x hours

taking the ratio

\frac{5328}{24} =\frac{x}{6}\\ \\222=\frac{x}{6} \\\\\\222(6) = x\\\\1332=x

we need to now convert this into hours

so we divide by 24

\frac{1332}{24} =55.5

so

9 am 55.5 days before should fall on a Sunday

Calculate the potential energy associated with 1 m^3 of water at 607 feet tall taking the mass of 1 m^3 of water to be 1000 kg
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1813.137 KJ

Step-by-step explanation:

potential energy of the body = mgH

where m is mass in Kg , g= 9.81 m/sec^2 and H= height in m

here m= 1000 kg, g= 9.81 m/s^2  and H= 607 feet = 607×0.305= 185.135 m

hence the potential energy p= 1000×9.81×185.135= 1813137.2 J

= 1813.137 KJ

hence the potential energy associated with 1 m^3 of water at 607 feet tall taking the mass as 1000 kg is = 1813.137 KJ

Jules kicks a soccer ball off the ground and into the air with an initial velocity of 25 feet
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Set up your height equation, then factor or use quadratic formula to find when h(t)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Your equation will be -16t^2+vt +h where v is the initial velocity and h is the starting height. Now either factor or quadratic equation, whichever is easier for you.

Remember that the ball is on the ground when h(t)=0 since that is the height. There will be two zeros,  one is a negative number so would be before you kicked the ball, the other one will be when the ball comes back down.
