 Answer:  
__________________________________________________
            No;  the sample could not be aluminum;
since the density of aluminum, " 2.7 g/cm³ " , is NOT close enough to the density of the sample, " 3.04 g/cm³ " .
________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________
Density is expressed as "mass per unit volume" ;

  in which:
     "mass, "m", is expressed in units of "g" (grams);  and:
     "Volume, "V", is expressed in units of "cm³ " (such as in this problem); or                                                   in units of "mL" ;
__________________________________________________
            {Note the exact conversion:  " 1 cm³ = 1 mL " .}. 
__________________________________________________
  The formula for density:  D = m/V ;

Given:  The density of aluminum is:  2.7 g/cm³.

Given:  A sample has a mass of 52.0 g ; and Volume of 17.1 cm³ ; could it be aluminum?
_________________________________________________________
Let us divide the mass of the sample by the volume of the sample;
by using the formula:
___________________________________________
            D = m / V ;  

     and see if the value is at, or very close to "2.7 g/cm³ ".  

If it is, then it could be aluminum.
____________________________________________________
The density for the sample:

  D = (52.0 / 17.1)   g/cm³ = 3.0409356725146199 g/cm³ ;
                                              →round to "3 significant figures" ;
                                          = 3.04 g/cm³ .
_______________________________________________
No; the sample could not be aluminum; since the density of aluminum, 
   "2.7 g/cm³ "   is NOT close enough to the density of the sample,
                        "3.04 g/cm³ " .

uysha [10]

Answer:

F=5449 N

Explanation:

Work done is a product of force and displacement ie

Work done, W, = Force*Displacement

Power, P, is Work done/Time

P=\frac {W}{t}=\frac {FS}{t} where P is power, W is work done, F is force, S is displacement and t is time

In this case, F is the frictional force. Converting the power from hp to W, we multiply by 746 hence P=746*168=125328  W

Since displacement/time is velocity, then

P=FV where V is velocity in m/s

Making F the subject

F=\frac {P}{V}

F=\frac {125328}{23}=5449.043478  N

F=5449 N

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?
natima [27]
The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
1 Pa = 1 N/m^2

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa

And since 1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa, we have
8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa

A satellite m-500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d 215 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re 6.3
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

7.78 * 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is given as:

v = √(GM/R)

G = 6.67 * 10^(-11) Nm/kg²

M = 5.98 * 10^(24) kg

R = radius of earth + distance of the satellite from the surface of the earth

R = 2.15 * 10^(5) + 6.38 * 10^(6)

R = 6.595 * 10^(6) m

v = √([6.67 * 10^(-11) * 5.98 * 10^(24)] / 6.595 * 10^(6))

v = √(6.048 * 10^7)

v = 7.78 * 10³ m/s

Two samples of aluminum foil, 27 grams and 54 grams, are cut out from a roll. Which of the following properties is different for
Delicious77 [7]
Before answering this question, you must know the concept between extensive and intensive property. The extensive property does not depend on the amount of substance (like mass), which is the opposite of intensive properties. From the given choices, the rest are extensive properties except for <em>amount of matter</em>. Hence, that is the answer.
