30 m/s because you would divide 60 meters by 2 seconds. 60 divided by two equals 30

Velocity =
(distance between start-point and end-point) / (time to run the course)
in the direction of
(direction from the start-point to the end-point).

Distance from start-point to end-point = 60 meters
Time to run the course = 2 seconds
Direction = north

Velocity = 30 m/s north

A certain car traveling in a straight line path has a velocity of +10.0 m/s at some instant. after 3.00 s, its velocity is +6.00

makvit [3.9K]

The formula is:
v = v o + a t
6 = 10 + 3 * a
3 a = 10 - 6
a = 4 : 3
a = - 1.33 m/s² ( because the car slows down )
Answer: The average acceleration of the car is - 1.33 m/s²

Platinum has a density of 21.4 g/cm3. if thieves were to steal platinum from a bank using a small truck with a maximum payload o

slega [8]

We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb.
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3
= 19076.6 cm^3

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

Momentum is usually not exactly conserved in a real world demonstration of momentum conservation. What is a possible reason for

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

For any collision occurring in an isolated system, momentum is conserved. The total amount of momentum of the collection of objects in the system is the same before the collision as after the collision.
