In a candy factory, the nutty chocolate bars contain 20.0 % pecans by mass. If 4.0 kg of pecans were used for candy last Tuesday

ladessa [460]

Answer:

44.09 pounds

Explanation:

We got that 20 % of the mass of a nutty chocolate bar its pecans, if 4.0 kg of pecans were used, we need to find the X in the equation

$0.2 * X = 4.0 \ kg$

where X its the total mass of nutty chocolate bars produced. So, we can just divide by 0.2 on both sides, and we find:

$X = 4.0 kg / 0.2$

$X = 20.0 \ kg$

Of course, we need the total mass produced in pounds, and not in kilograms. Looking at an conversion table, we can find that 1 kg its 2.20462 pounds, multiplying the value for total mass produced by the conversion factor we get:

$X = 20.0 \ kg * 2.20462 \ \frac{pounds}{kg}$

$X = 44.0924 \ pounds$

Now, we just need to round off to two significant figures. This is:

$X = 44.09 \ pounds$ ,

the total mass of nutty chocolate bars made last Tuesday to two significant figures.

A particle traveling in a circular path of radius 300 m has an instantaneous velocity of 30 m/s and its velocity is increasing a

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

5 m/s2

Explanation:

The total acceleration of the circular motion is made of 2 components: centripetal acceleration and linear acceleration of 4 m/s2. They are perpendicular to each other.

The centripetal acceleration is the ratio of instant velocity squared and the radius of the circle

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{30^2}{300} = \frac{900}{300} = 3 m/s^2$
