Answer:
The automobile's acceleration in that time interval is -2 m/s^2
Explanation:
The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity.
The average acceleration in a given lapse of time is calculated as:
A = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time.
In this case, we have:
initial velocity = 31 m/s
final velocity = 15 m/s
time = 8 seconds.
Then the average acceleration is:
A = (15m/s - 31m/s)/8s = -2 m/s^2
The spring scale will read 559 Newton's or 125.7 pounds.
Answer: 0.9264 kg
Explanation: [I'll use "cc" for cubic centimeter, instead of cm^3.
The volume is 6cm*4cm*2cm = 48 cm^3 (cc).
Density of Au is 19.3 g/cc
Mass of gold = (48 cc)*(9.3 g/cc) = 926.4 grams Au
1 kg = 1,000 g
(926.4 grams Au)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 0.9264 kg, 0.93 kg to 2 sig figs
At gold's current price of $57,500/kg, this bar is worth $53,268. Keep it hidden from your lab partner (and instructor).
