Pop Quiz Density - Left-side
1. Density is a compound variable. It depends on two other variables; _______________________ and _________________________ .
2. The relationship between these variable may be expressed in an equation. D = m/ V (g / cm3)
3. The relationship between density and mass is _______________________________________ .
4. The relationship between density and volume is _____________________________________ .
5. Use the formula to calculate the density at 25 degrees C of each of the following. Show the steps in the calculation.
a) a cube of lead with a mass of 91.2g and a volume of 8.0 cm3
b) a cube of aluminium with a mass of 150g and a volume of 55.6cm3
c) a cube of carbon with a mass of 100g and a volume of 43.5g

Primary and Secondary Data
Aurora
Interaction of the solar flare with the ionosphere of the earth produces colours. Strikingly beautiful night skies from New England and elsewhere - a blaze of aurora colors. Images provided to the Washington Post. http://wapo.st/1qOkvOn Images courtesy of the Washington Post. |
Significant Flare Surges Off the Sun
The sun emitted a significant solar flare, peaking at 1:48 p.m. EDT on Sept. 10, 2014. Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth's atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However -- when intense enough -- they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel. They can also produce spectacular auroras because solar storms add to the number of solar particles that interact with the Earth's atmosphere. The relatively high predicted of the storm means it may be possible to see the aurora as far south as the northern U.S. states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York. This image was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory and shows light in the 131 Angstrom wavelength, which is typically colorized in teal.
