A large bottle contains a number of medicinal tablets each having a mass of 250mg. The mass of all the tablets is 1 kg. Calculate the number of tablets in the bottle.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Considering the rule of three, the number of tablets in the bottle is 4.

In first place, the rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.  

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) , the direct rule of three must be applied.

To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed, being a, b and c known data and x the variable to be calculated:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=(cxb)/(a)

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case as follow:  if 250 mg = 0.250 g is the mass of 1 medicinal tablet, 1 kg = 1000 g is the mass of how many medicinal tablets?

0.250 grams ⇒ 1 medicinal tablet

1000 grams ⇒ x

Then:

x=(1000 gramsx1 medicinal tablet)/(0.250 grams)

x= 4 medicinal tablets

Finally, the number of tablets in the bottle is 4.

Answer 2
Answer:

Given parameters:

Mass of each tablet  = 250mg   = 0.25g

Mass of all tablets in the bottle = 1kg  = 1000g

Unknown:

Number tablets in the bottle = ?

Solution:

The number of tablets in the bottle;

    Number of tablets  = (mass of all tablets in the bottle)/(mass of each tablet)

                     Mass is the amount of matter that makes up a substance

Number of tablets  = (1000g)/( 250 x 10^(-3) )   = 4000 tablets

Jose has a solid green ball. Which color(s) of light does this ball reflect? A.
blue and yellow

B.
green

C.
all colors except green

D.
white

Answers

If the ball is green, then it is absorbing all the colors of light except green. This means that it is reflecting or denying the absorption of green light, that is why the ball is green. Therefore, your answer would be B.

Hope I helped :)

About 85% sure on this one. 
The ball reflects the green because the ball absorbs all the other colors except green so that's why its the green light is covering it and its absorbing everything else 

In power plants, generators convert mechanical energy into chemical energy.

Answers

The statement “In power plants, generators convert mechanical energy into chemical energy” is false. It should be that the generator will convert chemical energy from the raw material such as fuel oil that it receives into mechanical energy to generate energy.

if a wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. what is he frequency of the wave in Hz?

Answers


The frequency doesn't depend on the wave speed.
Frequency is simply the reciprocal of the period.

Frequency= 1 / (3sec) = 1/3 per sec = 1/3 Hz.


We know that by definition Frequency is the reciprocal of period.
So 
f=1/3=0.33Hz

Which is heavier, the earth or the moon

Answers


When you say "heavy", you're talking about the gravitational force
between that object and another object, so it depends on what the
"other object" is.

If the "other object" is, let's say, the sun, then the gravitational attraction
between the Earth and sun is about 80 times as much as the gravitational
attraction between the Moon and sun, because the Earth has about 80 times
the mass of the Moon.

But if, somehow, the weight you have in mind is the gravitational attraction
between the Earth and the Moon, then those forces are equal.  The force
of gravity between two objects depends on the product of both masses,
and it's equal in both directions.

If that isn't clear to you, let me give you this additional fact that's guaranteed
to knock you even further off-balance:

Your weight on the Earth is determined by the product of

                           (your mass) times (the Earth's mass).

The Earth's weight on you is determined by the product of

                           (your mass) times (the Earth's mass).

Your weight on Earth is the same as the Earth's weight on you.

Explanation:

Sehidy the given figure and calculate the load distance. Given: 325 N, 40 cm Unknown: 650 N, ?

Answers

the load distance is approximately 0.2 meters or 20 cm. To calculate the load distance in this scenario, we can use the principle of moments, which states that the sum of clockwise moments about a point is equal to the sum of counterclockwise moments about the same point when an object is in equilibrium.

In this case, we have two forces:

1. A known force of 325 N applied at a distance of 40 cm (0.4 meters) from the point of interest.

2. An unknown force of 650 N applied at an unknown distance, which we need to find.

Let's assume the unknown distance is "d" meters.

Using the principle of moments:

Clockwise Moment = Counterclockwise Moment

(325 N) * (0.4 m) = (650 N) * (d m)

Solving for "d":

d = (325 N * 0.4 m) / 650 N

d ≈ 0.2 meters

So, the load distance is approximately 0.2 meters or 20 cm.
