On a spending spree in Malaysia, you buy an ox with a weight of 28.9 piculs in the local unit of weights: 1 picul = 100 gins, 1

gin = 16 tahils, 1 tahil = 10 chees, and 1 chee = 10 hoons. The weight of 1 hoon corresponds to a mass of 0.3779 g. When you arrange to ship the ox home to your astonished family, how much mass in kilograms must you declare on the shipping manifest? (Hint: Set up multiple chain-link conversions.)

Answer:

1747.41 kg

Explanation:

If          1 piculs = 100 gins,

Then     28.9 piculs = (28.9 × 100) gins = 2890 gins.

Also,

If         1 gin = 16 tahils

then   2890 gins =( 16 × 2890 ) = 46240 tahils

Also,

If         1 tahil = 10 chees,

Then    46240 tahils = 46240 × 10 chees = 462400 chees.

Also,

If           1 chee = 10 hoons

Then      462400 chees =( 10 × 462400) hoons = 4624000 hoons.

Also,

If            1 hoon = 0.3779 g,

Then     4624000 hoons = 0.3779 × 4624000 = 1747409.6 g.

The mass in kg that i will declare in the shipping manifest = (1747409.6/100 )kg = 1747.41 kg

Which statement describes the speed of electromagnetic waves?
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Their speed in a vacuum is a constant value.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consits of oscillations of electric field and magnetic field. The oscillations of these fields occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves, so they are transverse wave. Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel through a vacuum. In a vacuum, their speed is constant and has always the same value, the speed of light:

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s

if an object's density is decreasing but its mass stays constant, what must be true of the object's volume?
astra-53 [7]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The volume will be <u>increased</u>

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Look at the formula

Density = Mass/Volume

If the mass increase the density will be increased because of their direct relationship. But in the case of constant mass. The volume increase the density will decrease because there is an inverse relationship exists between them. In the inverse relationship, the two objects perform differently. for example, if you are going to inflate the balloon, its volume will increase but density decrease

You will measure and record the time it takes the cart to travel certain distances, and then complete some calculations. In the
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Take the measurement of the distance (d) with a meter rule (in meters) and also measure the time (t) of the travel in seconds with a stopwatch.

question: What is the speed of the cart?

Explanation:

The speed of an object in motion is the distance covered by the object with respect to time, that is, the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to reach that distance.

Speed = distance / time

           = d (in meters m) / t (in seconds s) = m/s
