Answer:

Spiders=8

Ants=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Spider(s)=8 legs

Ants(a)=6 legs

Total legs=136

Total heads=20

8s+6a=136 (1)

s+a=20 (2)

From (2)

s=20-a

Substitute 20-a into (1)

8s+6a=136

8(20-a)+6a=136

160-8a+6a=136

160-2a=136

-2a=136-160

-2a=-24

a= -24/-2

a=12

Substitute a=12 into (2)

s+a=20

s+12=20

s=20-12

s=8

Given that the mass of an average linebacker at Ursinus College is 250 lbs and the radius of a pea is 0.50 cm, calculate the num
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

1.544*10⁹ Linebackers would be required in order to obtain the same density as an alpha particle

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the pea is spherical ( with radius R= 0.5 cm= 0.005 m), then its volume is

V= 4/3π*R³ = 4/3π*R³ = 4/3*π*(0.005 m)³ = 5.236*10⁻⁷ m³

the mass in that volume would be  m= N*L (L= mass of linebackers=250Lbs= 113.398 Kg)

The density of an alpha particle is  ρa= 3.345*10¹⁷ kg/m³ and the density in the pea ρ will be

ρ= m/V

since both should be equal ρ=ρa , then

ρa= m/V =N*L/V → N =ρa*V/L

replacing values

N =ρa*V/L = 3.345*10¹⁷ kg/m³ * 5.236*10⁻⁷ m³ /113.398 Kg  = 1.544*10⁹ Linebackers

N=1.544*10⁹ Linebackers
