Answer:

14.49 g/cm²

Explanation:

I = Io e^-(ux)

Where:

I = 573

Io = 1045

x = 0.3 inches and

rho = 11.4g/cm^3

Using the conversion constant

1 inch = 2.54 cm;

0.3 inches = 0.3 * 2.54 cm

0.3 inches = 0.762 cm

I/Io = e^-(ux), or say

Io/I = e^(ux), taking the In of both sides

ln(Io/I) = ux, making u subject of formula

u = 1/x * ln(Io/I)

u = 1/0.762 * ln(1045/573)

u = 1.312 * 0.6

u = 0.787

Next, we say that

u/rho = 0.7872/11.4 = 0.069

And finally, we make

1/(u/rho) to be our final answer

Inverse of the answer is = 14.49 g/cm²

Therefore, the um^-1 in g/cm^2? is 14.49

To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.

Inessa [10]

One of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles

What is cathode ray tube?

The cathode ray tube determines the charge flowing in a gas. When an electric field is set up using metal electrodes, the cathode ray tends to bend towards the positive electrode.

This concludes that a charge and the electrodes present helps determine the charge of the beam of charged particle.

Thus, one of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles.

How do you explain this arrangement of fossils? What might have happened?
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The question lacks a photo to fully answer correctly

If the fossil has its neck bent backwards towards its back, that is the common way to which dinosaurs died.

If the fossil is scattered a bit from its other linking fossil pieces, than it is most likely that the dinosaur was a meal to a predator.

Fossils that are in array but are divided clearly at a section suggests that land moved. Possibly earthquake or Pangea took place.
