 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 " .

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Moon is 1.6 m/s2 . A 5.0 kg stone thrown upward on Moon reaches a height of 20 m.
kramer

Answer:

(a) 8 m/s

(b) 5 s

Explanation:

(a)

Using,

V² = U²+2gh ......................... Equation 1

Where V = final velocity, U = Initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon, h = height reached.

Given: V = 0 m/s ( At it's maximum height), g = -1.6 m/s² ( as its moves against gravity), h = 20 m.

Substitute into equation 1

0 = U²+[2×20×(-1.6)]

-U² = - 64

U² = 64

U = √64

U = 8 m/s.

(b)

V = U +gt.................... Equation 2

Where t = time to reach the maximum height.

Given: V = 0 m/s ( At the maximum height), g = -1.6 m/s² ( Moving against gravity), U = 8 m/s.

Substitute into equation 2

0 = 8+(-1.6t)

-8 = -1.6t

-1.6t = -8

t = -8/-1.6

t = 5 s.

A girl and her bicycle have a total mass of 40 kg. At the top of the hill her speed is 5.0 m/s. The hill is 10 m high and 100 m
Serhud [2]

Answer:

v =   11 m/s   is her final speed

Explanation:

work done by gravity = m g Δh =   40×9.8×10   = 3920 Joules

Work done by friction = - force×distance =   - 20×100   =   - 2000 Joules

[minus sign because friction force is opposite to the direction of motion]

Initial K.E. = (1/2) m u^2 = (1/2) × 40 × 5^2   = 500 Joules

Now, by work energy theorem

Work done = change in kinetic energy.

Final K.E. = initial K.E. + total work =    500 + 3920 - 2000  = 2420 Joules

Now, Final K.E. = (1/2) m v^2  [final speed being v= speed at the bottom]

⇒  2420 = (1/2)×40×v^2

   ⇒  121 = v^ 2

  v =   11 m/s   is her final speed
