The brain mass of a human fetus during a particular trimester can be accurately estimated from the circumference of the head by

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

a. If c = 20 cm, then the mass of the brain is m = 5 g.

b. At c = 20 cm, the brain's mass is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

Explanation:

From the equation

$m\left(c\right) = \frac{c^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{c}$

we have

a. for c = 20 cm

$m\left(20\right)=\frac{20^3}{100}-\frac{1500}{20}=5,$

then the mass is m(20) = 5 g.

b. In order to find the rate of change, first we derivate

$\frac{dm}{dc}=\frac{3c^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{c^2}.$

Evaluated at c = 20 cm, we have

$\frac{dm}{dc}|_{c=20}=\frac{3\times 20^2}{100}+\frac{1500}{20^2}=15.75.$

So, at c = 20 cm, the mass of the brain is increasing at a rate of 15.75 g/cm.

a force 2.4E2 N exists between a positive charge of 8E-5 C and a positive charge of 3E-5 C. What distance separates the charges?

Verdich [7]

The distance between the two charges is $0.3 m$

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

$q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C$

$F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N$

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

$r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m$

Answer:

1.84 kJ (kilojoules)

Explanation:

A specific heat of 0.46 J/g Cº means that it takes 0.46 Joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of iron by 1 Cº.

If we want to heat 50 g of iron from 20° C to 100° C, we can make the following calculation:

Heat = (specific heat)*(mass)*(temp change)

Heat = (0.46 J/g Cº)*(50g)*(100° C - 20° C)

[Note how the units cancel to yield just Joules]

Heat = 1840 Joules, or 1.84 kJ

[Note that the number is positive: Energy is added to the system. If we used cold iron to cool 50g of 100° C water, the temperature change would be (Final - Initial) or (20° C - 100° C). The number is -1.84 kJ: the negative means heat was removed from the system (the iron).

What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning

konstantin123 [22]

Both verbs come from Olde English.
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.

"Waxing" = growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.

"Waning" = shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.
