Answer:
<em>The volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>
Explanation:
Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body to the corresponding volume of that body. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³
Mathematically it can be expressed as,
D = m/v ................................... Equation 1
making v the subject of the equation above,
v = m/D ............................. Equation 2
Where D = Density of the feathers, m = mass of the feathers, v = volume of the feathers.
Given: D = 0.50 lbs/ft³, m = 8.0 lbs.
Substituting into equation 2
v = 8/0.5
v = 16 ft³
<em>Thus the volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>
A). Earth completes one rotation on its rotation axis
every (3 minutes and 56 seconds less than 24 hours).
This causes night and day. It's rotation, not precession.
B). Earth completes one orbital revolution around the sun
every (365 plus a little bit) days. It's revolution, not precession.
C). I'm not sure what happens on a cycle of 512 years.
It may have something to do with the moon. But whatever
it is, it's not precession.
D). When you spin a top and it starts to run down, the first
thing that happens is that the handle of the top, or the point
on top of the top, starts moving in a circle. That's precession.
That's what the Earth's axis is doing. The north pole points
toward the north star (Polaris) now. But the north pole is
actually drawing out a big circle in the sky, and other stars
will become the "north star" far in the future.
The north pole draws out a full circle in the sky, roughly
once every 26,000 years. That's precession.
Speed (velocity)=distance/time
V1=98km/4hr=24.5km/hr
V2=61km/3hr=20.3km/hr
Average speed (velocity)=total velocity/ number
Average speed (velocity)=44.8km/hr/2=22.4
So the average speed is 22.4km/hr
From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS. That is, it becomes MORE dense. I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase. That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean. And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible ! Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.
The answer is D. <span> There would be a decrease in the population of marine organisms.
