A merchant in Katmandu sells you a solid gold 6 kg statue for a very reasonable price. When you get home, you wonder whether or

not you got a bargain, so you lower the statue into a measuring cup and measure its volume. What volume will verify that it's pure gold?

Answer:

0.000311 m³

Explanation:

The formula that connect volume, mass and density is given below

D = m/v ...................... Equation 1

Where D = Density of the gold, m = mass of the gold, v = volume of the gold.

make v the subject of the equation

v = m/D .................. Equation 2

Given: m = 6 kg,

Note the density of pure gold = 19300 kg/m².

Substitute into equation 2

v = 6/19300

v = 0.000311 m³

Hence the volume that will verify that it's a pure gold = 0.000311 m³

How can a budget help you set spending goals?

OlgaM077 [116]

<span>When you are setting up your budget, it is easier to start by setting your budgeting amounts based on the average of your last three months of spending. Many budgeting programs can import past transactions and help you come up with the estimates that you need for your budget. Then you can begin to make adjustments after you have those initial amounts.

The two main goals are to spend less than you earn and to know where your money is going. Once you have a working budget you can work towards your other goals of saving money and getting out of debt. It is important to avoid theses common budgeting mistakes <span>when setting up your budget.

A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori

olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

k = 130 N/m, $\Delta x$ = 17 cm = 0.17 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)

mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

Energy = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So, $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}$

$v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}$

= 1.34

v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

Frictional force = $\mu \times mg$

= $0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8$

= 4.116 N

Also, Kinetic energy = work done by friction

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d$

1.8515 = $4.116 \times d$

d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. what is the average speed for the tri

iren2701 [21]

<span>Th find the average speed of a trip we need to dived the total distance by the total time. Let's find the total distance d. d = (300 mi/h)(2.00 h) + 750 miles d = 600 miles + 750 miles d = 1350 miles The total distance is 1350 miles Let's find the total time t. t = 2.00 hours + (750 mi / 250 mi/h) t = 2.00 hours + 3.00 hours t = 5.00 hours The total time of the trip is 5.00 hours. We can find the average speed. d / t = 1350 miles / 5.00 hours d / t = 270 miles/ hour The average speed of the trip is 270 mi/h (Note that the direction does not matter when we find the average speed.)</span>

A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10‐ gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 2 cm, and it reduces to

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of bucket $V=10\ gallon$

Time taken to fill the bucket $t=50\ s$

so volume flow rate is $\dot{V}=\frac{10}{50}=0.2\ gal/s$

1 gal is equivalent to $0.133\ ft^3$

$\dot{V}=0.0267\ ft^3/s$

mass flow rate $\dot{m}=\rho \times \dot{V}$

$\dot{m}=62.4\times 0.0267$

$\dot{m}=1.668\ lbs$

(b)Average velocity through nozzle exit

$\dot{V}=Av_{avg}$

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{0.0267}{\frac{\pi}{4}\times (0.0262)^2}$

$v_{avg}=49.51\ ft/s$
