Explanation:
6000 years = 6000 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60
= 1.892 x 10¹¹ second
gain is 1 second
1 second is equivalent to 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillations .
In 1.892 x 10¹¹ second , change in oscillation is 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillation
in one second change in oscillation = (9.193 / 1.892 ) x 10⁹⁻¹¹
= 4.859 x 10⁻² oscillations .
<h2>
It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.</h2>
Explanation:
Frequency of dribble = 1.77 Hz
That is
Number of dribbles in 1 second = 1.77

Now we need to find how long does it take for you to complete 12 dribbles.
Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x Time taken for 1 dribble
Time taken for 12 dribbles = 12 x 0.565
Time taken for 12 dribbles = 6.78 seconds
It takes 6.78 seconds to complete 12 dribbles.
Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
Mass is indirectly proportional to acceleration, so, lighter the object greater would be it's acceleration...
A) 0.10 kg is lightest among them, so it's your answer
