 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 " .

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?
Tema [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion: 

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):     

                             Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

                                               =  (100 N) / (50 kg)

                                               =  2 m/s²
