Answer:

The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

Step-by-step explanation:

- Lets explain how to solve the problem

- There is some words we can translate them in mathematics to (+)

sign and (-) sign as gain and loss

- Gain means add the value and loss means subtract the value

* Lets solve the problem

- There are 5 straight plays for a football team

- The football team gained 8 yards , then lost 4 yard , then gained

7 yards , then gained 3 yards and finally lost 11 yards

- We need to know the position of the football team now compared

to their starting position

- Assume that they started at 0 position and when they gained

yards we add them and when they lost yards we subtract them

∵ They gained 8 yards

∴ 0 + 8 = 8

∵ They lost 4 yards

∴ 8 - 4 = 4

∵ They gained 7 yards

∴ 4 + 7 = 11

∵ They gained 3 yards

∴ 11 + 3 = 14

∵ They lost 11 yards

∴ 14 - 11 = 3

* The position of the team now is 3 yards from their starting position

In a research laboratory, a scientist measures the mass of a 1-carat diamond and finds it to be 200 milligrams, measured to the

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

$D=3.5\ gr/cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Density</u>

The density of an object of mass m and volume V is given by

$\displaystyle D=\frac{m}{V}$

It can be expressed in common units like $gr/lt, Kg/m^3, gr/cm^3$ or any other combination of proper mass [M] by volume [V] units.

The data provided in the question is

$m=200\ mg = 0.2\ gr$

$V=0.057\ cm^3$

Thus, the measured density is

$\displaystyle D=\frac{0.2\ gr}{0.057 \ cm^3}$

$\boxed{D=3.5\ gr/cm^3}$

We have expressed the result with 1 decimal place because the mass was measured to the nearest hundred milligrams (or one-tenth grams). Any further decimal is senseless because that precision comes from calculations, not from measurements.

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384 400 km.<br> Express it in standard form.

ycow [4]

Answer:

$3.84\times10^8\ m$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384 400 km.

We need to express in in standard form.

1 km = 1000 m

It means,

384400 km = 384400000 km

= $3.84\times10^8\ m$

Hence, the average distance between the Earth and the Moon is $3.84\times10^8\ m$ .
