Please give the correct answer
A submersible robot is exploring one of the methane seas on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. It discovers a number of small spherical structures on the bottom of the sea at depth of 10 meters [m], and selects one for analysis. The sphere selected has a volume of 1.9 cubic centimeters [cm3] and a density of 2.25 grams per cubic centimeter [g/cm3]. When the rock is returned to Earth for analysis, what is the weight of the sphere in newtons [N]? Gravity on Titan is 1.352 meters per second squared [m/s2]. The density of methane is 0.712 grams per liter [g/L]
The weight of the sphere is ____ N.
Four astronauts are in a spherical space station. (a) If, as is typical, each of them breathes about 500 cm3 of air with each breath, approximately what volume of air (in cubic meters) do these astronauts breathe in a year? (b) What would the diameter (in meters) of the space station have to be to contain all this air?

- Part A: A researcher is studying the lifespans of chimpanzees from Location A and Location B. From her results, she estimates that a chimpanzee from location A will have an average lifespan was 27 ± 4 years and a chimpanzee from location B will have an average lifespan was 35 ± 4 years. Part A.I: Based on the life spans (with uncertainties) above, can one argue that primates from both locations have the same lifespan? Show work to prove your point. Part A.2: Assume the researcher studied chimpanzees in Location B first. What is the percent difference in chimpanzee life span between Location A and B? You will not need uncertainties for this part. Please finish both. thanksarrow_forwardOne mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g.
