Two students, Student 1 and Student 2, did a hands-on mining exercise with cookies to compare the total cost of mining in two di

fferent land areas using different equipment. The table below shows the costs of land, equipment, mining, and reclamation for the two students.

Assume cost of equipment for student 2 is m.

We are given that:
Total mining cost for student 1 and student 2 is $40

For student 1:
We are given that:
Cost of land = $5
Cost of equipment = $2
Cost of mining and reclamation = $2 per minute
Time taken to mine = 5 minutes
Therefore,
Total mining cost for student 1= land + equipment
                                                  + cost of mining (time needed)
Total mining cost for student 1 = 2 + 5 + 2(5) = 7 + 10 = $17

This means that:
Total mining cost for student 2 = 40 - 17 = $23

For student 2:
We are given that:
Cost of land = $4
Cost of equipment = m
Cost of mining and reclamation = $2 per minute
Time taken to mine = 6 minutes
Total mining cost for student 2= $23
Therefore,
Total mining cost for student 2= land + equipment
                                                  + cost of mining (time needed)
23 = 4 + m + 2(6)
23 = 4 + m + 12
23 = 16 + m
m = 23 - 16
m = $7

Based on the above calculations, the correct choice would be:
c. $7

Is a neutron star also a black hole?
coldgirl [10]

No.  A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup.  But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.

A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that.  No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero.  It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.

Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it.  You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth.  But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth.  What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean.  Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds. 
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole.  That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass.   THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?

I know.  It all seems too fantastic to be true. 
It sure does.

Two atoms each contain 6 protons, but one has 6 neutrons and the other has 8 neutrons. What are these atoms called? A. ions B. r
ki77a [65]

Answer:

These atomos are called isotopes.

Explanation:

Each chemical element is characterized by the number of protons in its nucleus, which is called the atomic number (Z).

The number of neutrons in the nucleus can vary. There are almost always as many or more neutrons than protons. The atomic mass (A) is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus.

The same chemical element can be made up of different atoms, that is, their atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different. These atoms are called isotopes of the element. That is, isotopes are atoms whose atomic nuclei have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

So, <u><em>these atomos are called isotopes.</em></u>
