Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

Describe your acceleration as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk.
Paraphin [41]

Answer: when you increase or decrease your speed.

Explanation:

Moving a skate at rest, you need to apply force in order to cause acceleration.

F = ma Where

F = force applied

m = mass of the skate

a = acceleration

The initial velocity u will be equal to zero and the skate will acceleration to a certain velocity.

as you skate down your neighborhood sidewalk, you will accelerate when you increase your speed. Because

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. That is,

Acceleration = change in velocity/ time.

And also, you will decelerate when you reduce the speed or velocity down your neighborhood sidewalk.
