Scientists found that a certain particle of dust doubles every 30 minutes. If the scientists tests this out with 21 grams of the

monitta

Answer: $1.663\times 10^{30}\ gm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population of dust particle doubles every 30 minutes

If the initial sample is 21 grams

The model to predict the population will be

$\Rightarrow P=21\cdot 2^{2t}$

Where t=time in hours

A day has 24 hours . So, for 2 days time is 48 hours

Population is given by

$\Rightarrow P=21\cdot 2^{2\times 48}\\\\\Rightarrow P=21\times 2^{96}\\\\\Rightarrow P=1.663\times 10^{30}\ gm$

In science class, Priscilla heats water and measures the temperature of the water every 2 minutes\or data are shown in the table

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

37.5 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature appears to be increasing linearly at the rate of 5 °C in 2 minutes, or 2.5 °C per minute.

1 minute after 4 minutes, when the temperature is 35 °C, we expect it to be 2.5 °C higher, or 37.5 °C.

Suppose that 2 people exercising in an enclosed room are each generating about 2.400 BTUs of body heat per

noname [10]

Answer:

0.002 BTUs per cubic foot heat is produced per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of person = 2

Amount of heat produced by one person = 2.400 BTU

Dimension of the room = 20 ft x 12 ft x 10 ft

To Find:

How many BTUs per cubic foot do they produce in 1 hour = ?

Solution:

E = $\frac{ \text{(2400 Btu/ person hr}) (\text{Number of Hours}) (\text{Number of persons }) }{\text {volume of the room}}$

Substituting the values

E = $\frac{ \text{(2400 Btu/ person hr}) (1) ( 2) }{20 ft \times 12 ft \times 10 ft}$

E = $\frac{4.800}{2400}$

E = 0.002 BTU per cubic feet
