A scientist runs an experiment involving a culture of bacteria. She notices that the mass of the bacteria in the culture increas

es exponentially with the mass increasing by 249% per week. What is the 1-week growth factor for the mass of the bacteria

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor is one more than the growth rate:

  growth factor = 1 + growth rate

  = 1 + 249% = 1 +2.49

  growth factor = 3.49

It takes 12 minutes to fill an entire bathtub using both the cold and hot water. If just the cold water is used, it takes 18 min
Kipish [7]

Answer:

<h2>It takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are gonna name V the complete volume of the bathtub, which is filled a certain amount of minutes. Each filling rate or speed is gonna be expressed as: \frac{V}{t}.

So, if we apply this consideration to each case we have:

Using cold and hot water: \frac{V}{12}

Using only cold water: \frac{V}{18}

Using only hot water: \frac{V}{x}; because we don't knot the time it takes to fill the bathtub with hot water.

Now, as you can see, Cold and Hot water is a sum of cold water only and hot water only:

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{V}{18}+\frac{V}{x}

Solving the equation for <em>x: </em>

\frac{V}{12}=\frac{xV+18V}{18x} \\\frac{V}{12}=\frac{(x+18)V}{18x}\\\\\frac{18xV}{V}=12(x+18)\\18x=12x+216\\18x-12x=216\\6x=216\\x=\frac{216}{6}=36

Therefore, it takes 36 minutes to fill the bathtub using just hot water.

Catherine has $54. She plans to spend more than $20 of the money for a painting canvas. The rest will go toward paints. Each tub
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

4. 54- 8.5x>20

Step-by-step explanation:

Catherine only has $54, so she cannot spend more than that.

The canvas will cost at least $20, but we don't know how much exactly.

The tubes cost $8.50 each.

So, she starts with a total budget of $54, out of which she will buy paints (8.5x) and she wants to have at least $20 left for canvas.

So, we transpose those facts into the inequity:

54 - 8.5x > 20

A 3.00-g copper penny at 25.0°C drops from a height of50.0 m to the ground. (
Gnoma [55]
The potential energy, E, of the penny is given by E=mgh.  The energy, Q, required to raise the temperature of an object by an amount ΔT is given by Q=mcΔT.  We can equate these two to get the result but we must use proper units and include the 60%:
(0.6)mgh=mcΔT
We see we can divide out the mass from each side
0.6gh=cΔT,   then 0.6gh/c=ΔT
(0.6)9.81(m/s²)50m/385(J/kg°C) = 0.7644°C
since this is the change in temperature and it started at 25°C we get
T=25.7644°C
As you can see the result does not depend on mass.  The more massive the copper object the more potential energy it will have to contribute to the heat energy, but the more stuff there will be to heat up, and the effect is that the mass cancels.

Suppose a basketball team had a season of games with the following characteristics: Of all the games, 60% were at-home games. De
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

E. P(W | H)

Step-by-step explanation:

What each of these probabilities mean:

P(H): Probability of the game being at home

P(W): Probability of the game being a win.

P(H and W): Probability of the game being at home and being a win.

P(H|W): Probability of a win being at home.

P(W|H): Probability of winning a home game.

Which of the following probabilities do you need to find in order to determine the proportion of at-home games that were wins?

This is the probability of winning a home game. So the answer is:

E. P(W | H)
