Answer:

Density of Sand is 2.653g/cm^{3}.

Explanation:

Given Empty Density bottle weighs 23.5gm(W=23.5gm)

Weight of bottle when completely filled water=48.4gm

So amount of water required to fill the bottle=Weight of bottle filled with water-W

Amount of water required to fill the bottle(w_{max})=48.4gm-23.5gm

w_{max}=24.9g

Since we know density of water d_{w} =1g/cm^{3} and w_{max}

We can calculate volume of empty space in the bottle(V).

w_{max}=d_{w}\timesV

V=\frac{w_{max} }{d_{w} }

V=\frac{24.9}{1}

V=24.9 g/cm^{3}

Now bottle is partially filled with sand,and weight of bottle is (w_{s})36.5gm

So,

Amount of sand added (m_{s})=36.5-Weight of the bottle

m_{s}=13g

After filling the bottle with water again,the weight of the bottle becomes (W_{2}=56.5g)

Therefore,

amount of water added to the bottle of sand in grams = W_{2}-36.5gm

amount of water added =56.5g-36.5g

amount of water added =20g

As the density of water = 1g/cm^{3}

Amount of water (in grams )=Volume of water occupied

20=volume of water added

Therfore volume of water added to the sand filled bottle(V_{w})=20cm^{3}

As we know the total volume of the water bottle(V),

Volume of the sand occupied in the water bottle=V-V_{w}

V_{s}=24.9g-20g

V_{s}=4.9g

We know,

Density=Mass/Volume

Therefore,

density of sand = \frac{m_{s} }{V_{s} }

density of sand =\frac{13}{4.9}

density of sand = 2.653g/cm^{3}

What the planet after Venus
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Mercury and Venus are therefore closer to each other most of the time. But Earth is the planet closest to Venus. And that's why from here on Earth, Venus looks so big and luminous. Venus is the brightest thing in the night sky after the sun and the moon.

The speed of light is 3.0x10^5 km/sec and it takes light 1.3 seconds for light to travel from the moon to earth froim this infor
Vika [28.1K]
The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed v=3 \cdot 10^5 km/s, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
v= \frac{S}{t} (1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
S=vt=(3 \cdot 10^5 km/s)(1.3 s)=390000 km=3.9 \cdot 10^5 km

madam [21]

Answer:

t = 4.41 10⁻⁴ years

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the concept of average life time, which is the time in which the quantity and substance decays in half

    T_{1/2}  = ln2 / λ

Let's calculate the decay constant of plutonium

    λ  = ln2 /  T_{1/2}

    λ  = ln 2 / 2.44 10⁵  

    λ  = 2.84 10⁻⁶  s⁻¹

Radioactive decay is a first order process

     N = No e (-λ   t)

Where N is the number of nuclei, the mass is this by molecular weight

    m = N PM

    m / PM = m₀ / PM e (- λ  t)

    m / m₀ = e (- λ  t)

    -λ  t = ln (m / m₀)

     t = -1 /λ   ln (m/m₀)

     t = - 1 / 2.84 10⁻⁶   ln (0.1 / 0.35)

     t = 4.41 10⁻⁴ years
