Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Peter Stuyvesant</u> (1592–1672) was the last director-general of the New Amsterdam and is <u>famous for expanding this colony and building several landmark projects, such as Broadway</u>.

With a true dutch spirit of running a settlement, he <u>addressed the fire issue in the city with a number of improvements</u>. In order to reduce the risk of fire, colonists were commanded to <em>remove wooden chimneys and replace roofs made of thatch</em>, because they presented a fire hazard. He also introduced <em>first fire wardens</em> in the New Amsterdam, which laid foundation for the first fire department in the United States.  

In addition, Stuyvesant <em>set speed limits</em> on the streets of New Amsterdam and <em>directed taverns to be closed at 9 p.m.</em> to reduce drunk fighting on the streets.

Calculate the density of a material that has a mass of 52 457 g and a volume of 13,5 cm​
kirill [66]

Answer:

Density = 388.57 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 52457 grams to kilograms = 52457/1000 = 52.457 kilograms

Volume = 13.5 cm to meters = 13.5/100 = 0.135 m

To find the density;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the formula;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Density = \frac{52.457}{0.135}

Density = 388.57 kg/m³
