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.

a goalkeeper catches a 491 g soccer ball traveling horizontally at 29.4 m/s. if it took 2,218 n of force to stop the ball, how m
yarga [219]

The ball will take 2.551 seconds to reach its peak position.

<h3>How much time will the ball take to land?</h3>

We must know how long the balls are in the air before we can predict where they will fall. It will take 2 seconds for both balls to touch the ground.

<h3>How quickly does a ball drop?</h3>

The falling ball travels a distance of d = 12 9.8 (m/s2) t2, with a speed of v = 9.8 (m/s2) t as a function of time. The ball travels 4.9 m in a second. The falling ball's velocity is v = -9.8 (m/s2) t j, and its position is r = (4.9 m - 12 9.8 (m/s2) t2) j as a function of time.

An object 16.8 cm tall is placed in front of a converging lens. A real image, 46 cm tall, is formed on the other side of the len
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74

What happens to electric charges within a conductor when a charged object is brought close to it
Agata [3.3K]
Well, if a charger conductor is touched to another object or close enough to touching the object then the conductor can transfer its charge to that object. Conductors allow for electrons to be transported from particle to particle, so a charged object will always distribute its charge until the repulsive forces are minimized.
