. You read in the newspaper that rocks from Mars have been found
on Earth. Your friend says that
the rocks were shot off Mars by the large volcanoes there. You
are skeptical so you decide to
calculate the magnitude of the velocity that volcanoes eject
rocks from geological evidence. You
know the gravitational acceleration of objects falling near the
surface of Mars is only 40% that on
the Earth. You can look up the height of Martian volcanoes and...
The following ratios are for four companies in different
industries. Some of these ratios have been discussed in the
textbook, others have not, but their names explain how the ratio
was computed. These data are for the companies’ 2016 fiscal years.
The four sets of ratios, presented randomly are: Ratio Company 1
Company 2 Company 3 Company 4 Current assets ÷ Total assets 7% 18%
31% 19% Average days to sell inventory 72 days 12 days 163 days 108

Alice and Bob are re-enacting Cao Chong’s weighing experiment.
They found two types of rocks, ~50 kg in weight and ~20 kg in
weight, respectively. Now for an elephant that weighs ~1 ton, the
measurement could be done with 20 of 50 kg rocks, or 50 of 20 kg
rocks.
Alice argues that the first approach gives a more precise result
as more rocks will introduce more error. Bob argues that the second
approach is better as the error from...
Radium-226 is a decay product of 238U . 226Ra has a half-life of 1600 years and is found in uranium ores. When it was first discovered and before radioactive decay was well understood, some mineral prospectors claimed to have discovered a rich deposit of radium (a few percent by mass) in a cave in the American midwest. What do you think of this claim?
What do all rocks have in common? Rocks are made of how many
minerals put together? How does Igneous Rocks form? What is the
most unreliable source to identify a minerals property? Explain how
each of the three kinds of sedimentary rocks form. List one example
of each kind of rock. The meaning of the word "metamorphic" is The
type of metamorphism that results from the heat of magma is called?
Describes the processes by which sedimentary rock becomes
metamorphic...
