The continental crust is the layer of granitic, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks which form the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves. It is less dense than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it.
Answer:
Explanation:
Combustion releases energy in a single step in the form of light and heat. Whereas in respiration, energy is released in steps and is stored in the form of ATP.
Base unit is the fundamental unit of measurement that is not mutually dependent. The seven base units are,
Length - meter
Mass- kilogram
Time - second
Temperature - Kelvin
Current - Ampere
Luminous intensity - Candela
Amount of matter - mole
Derived units are derived from the seven base units. Like the area (square meters) is the square of length (meters), volume is the cube of length.
If a ball is running down a ramp, why is it that when you change the height of the ramp, the ... of the ramp, then you will increase the acceleration of a ball which rolls down the ramp.
Use the volume and density of the gold statue to calculate the mass of the statue.
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, mass = density • volume
Convert the volume of the statue from L to mL so volume unit agrees with density unit
mass of statue = 19.3 g/mL • 1000 mL = 19 300 g
Mass of sand must be same as the mass of the statue, 19 300 g
Use the mass and density of the sand to calculate the volume of sand needed
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, volume = mass / density
volume of sand needed = 19 300 g / 23 g/mL = 8391 mL or 8.391 L

Calculate the density of the statue from the measured mass and volume. If the calculated density agrees with the known density of gold, then the statue is made from pure gold.
density = mass / volume
Convert the mass from kg to g as you want the answer in g/mL so you can compare it to the reference value of gold given in the problem. 16.5 kg • 1000 g / 1 kg = 16 500 g
density of the statue = 16 500 g / 954 mL = 17.3 g/mL
Since this density, 17.3 g/mL is significantly different from the known density of gold, 19.3 g/mL, the statue cannot be made of pure gold. The gold was mixed with a less dense metal.
