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.

What does that make?
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

lithium

Explanation:

A lithium atom contains 3 protons in its nucleus irrespective of the number of neutrons or electrons. Notice that because the lithium atom always has 3 protons, the atomic number for lithium is always 3. The mass number, however, is 6 in the isotope with 3 neutrons, and 7 in the isotope with 4 neutrons.

Elements that easily transmit electricity and heat display the property known as conductivity.
Musya8 [376]


True.

Conductivity is the ability to transmit heat, electricity or sound. Conductivity is a physical property.

A physical property is one which can be measured  or observed without changing the composition or identity of a the substance.

Conductivity is a physical property because the composition of the substance does not change.

A copper wire is still  a copper wire when it is conducting electricity. Like wise, an aluminum rod is still an aluminum rod when heated. It is conducting heat but the heat does not change it, it is still  an aluminum rod during the whole process.

A rifle of mass M is initially at rest, but is free to recoil. It fires a bullet of mass m with a velocity +v relative to the gr
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of rifle = M

Initial velocity ,u= 0

Mass of bullet = m

velocity of bullet =  v

Lets take final speed of the rifle is V

There is no any external force ,that is why linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Initial linear momentum = Final  linear momentum

 M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m v

0 =  M x V + m v

V=-\dfrac{mv}{M}

Negative sign indicates that ,the recoil velocity will be opposite to the direction of bullet velocity.
