Agreat natural and humanitarian disaster occurred when the volcano mt pelee erupted on the island of martinique in 1902. an effect of the eruption was a phenomenon called a "nuee ardente" in which a large cloud of hot gas is emitted and rolls down the mountainside, in this case enveloping the town of saint pierre and killing 30,000 people. since the ambient temperature was around 20 c, it's clear that the high-temperature cloud must have been composed of a high-molecular mass gas in order for it to sink rather than rise. suppose the temperature in the cloud was 600 c. estimate the minimum value, in atomic mass units (amu), of the average molecular mass of the gas in the cloud. (assume the ambient air is primarily nitrogen, 28 amu.) amu

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
