No, because pure gold has a higher density than water, not allowing it to float.

A 2 kilogram object falls a distance of 5 meters. How much potential energy does this object have before it falls? How much work
Y_Kistochka [10]

1) Potential energy before the fall: 98 J

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration and h the heigth of the object above the ground.

In this problem, m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and h = 5 m: substituting into the equation, we find

U=(2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(5 m)=98 J


2) Work done by gravity: 98 J

The work done by a force is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem:

F=mg=(2 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

d = 5 m

\theta=0^{\circ}

Therefore,

W=(19.6 N)(5 m)(cos 0^{\circ})=98 J

The following measurement has only 3 significant figures. Please explain why?<br> .000305
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Number of Significant Figures: 3

The Significant Figures are 3 0 5

This is because the three zeros are considered trailing zeros because they're not between two numbers or after. Zeros attached to the beginning of a number in this way are called leading zeros. In decimals, this idea of zeros that don't add value to a number can be extended to trailing zeros. A trailing zero is any zero that appears to the right of both the decimal point and every digit other than zero.

Explanation:

Trailing zeros (zeros after non-zero numbers) in a number without a decimal are generally not significant (see below for more details). For example, 400 has only one significant figure (4). The trailing zeros do not count as significant. Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.

Walt ran 5 km in 25 minutes going east to what was his average velocity
goldenfox [79]

distance d = 5 km = 5 x 1000 m = 5000 m

time taken = 25 minute = 25 x 60 sec = 1500 sec

average velocity V = d/t

V = 5000/1500

V = 3.33 m/s towards east
