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

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

Tyler does squats and pushups. He wants to increase the number of each type of exercise by 20% by the end of the month. He curre
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Tyler currently does 40 squats

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyler does squats and pushups.

<u>Currently:</u>

Number of pushups = 25

Number of squats = x

Total number = 25 + x

<u>After increase:</u>

Number of pishups =25\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2\cdot 25=30

Number of squats =x\cdot (1+0.2)=1.2x

Total number =30+1.2x

If Tyler meets his goal, he will do a total of 13 more squats and pushups than he does now, thus

(30+1.2x)-(25+x)=13\\ \\30+1.2x-25-x=13\\ \\1.2x-x=13-30+25\\ \\0.2x=8\\ \\2x=80\\ \\x=40

What is the range of y = (x - 5)^2 – 1?
Setler79 [48]

1.  The graph is a parabola.

2. The parabola opens up, because there's no negative number in front of (x-5)^2.

3. The vertext is (5,-1), because of the vertex form.

This means that that -1 will be the least y-value used on the graph and the garph will open up from there.

The range is (-1, infinity) or { y | y > -1 }.
