Answer:

a. Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²

b. Time, t = 7.87 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 14.5m/s

Final velocity, V = 29.3m/s

Distance, S = 172m

a. To find the acceleration of the speedboat;

We would use the third equation of motion;

V² = U² + 2aS

Substituting into the formula

29.3² = 14.5² + 2a*172

858.49 = 210.25 + 344a

344a = 858.49 - 210.25

344a = 648.24

a = 648.24/344

Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²

b. To find the time;

We would use the first equation of motion;

V = U + at

29.3 = 14.5 + 1.88t

1.88t = 29.3 - 14.5

1.88t = 14.8

Time, t = 14.8/1.88

Time, t = 7.87 seconds.

The British gold sovereign coin is an alloy of gold and copper having a total mass of 7.988 g, and is 22-karat gold 24 x (mass o

matrenka [14]

Answers:

(a) $0.0073kg$

(b) Volume gold: $3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ , Volume cupper: $7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}$

(c) $17633.554kg/m^{3}$

Explanation:

We are told the total mass $M$ of the coin, which is an alloy of gold and copper is:

$M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}=7.988g=0.007988kg$ (1)

Where $m_{gold}$ is the mass of gold and $m_{copper}$ is the mass of copper.

In addition we know it is a 22-karat gold and the relation between the number of karats $K$ and mass is:

$K=24\frac{m_{gold}}{M}$ (2)

Finding ${m_{gold}$ :

$m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}M$ (3)

$m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}(0.007988kg)$ (4)

$m_{gold}=0.0073kg$ (5) This is the mass of gold in the coin

<h2>(b) Volume of gold and cupper</h2><h2 />

The density $\rho$ of an object is given by:

$\rho=\frac{mass}{volume}$

If we want to find the volume, this expression changes to: $volume=\frac{mass}{\rho}$

For gold, its volume $V_{gold}$ will be a relation between its mass $m_{gold}$ (found in (5)) and its density $\rho_{gold}=19.30g/cm^{3}=19300kg/m^{3}$ :

$V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}}$ (6)

$V_{gold}=\frac{0.0073kg}{19300kg/m^{3}}$ (7)

$V_{gold}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ (8) Volume of gold in the coin

For copper, its volume $V_{copper}$ will be a relation between its mass $m_{copper}$ and its density $\rho_{copper}=8.96g/cm^{3}=8960kg/m^{3}$ :

$V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}$ (9)

The mass of copper can be found by isolating $m_{copper}$ from (1):

$M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}$

$m_{copper}=M-m_{gold}$ (10)

Knowing the mass of gold found in (5):

$m_{copper}=0.007988kg-0.0073kg=0.000688kg$ (11)

Now we can find the volume of copper:

$V_{copper}=\frac{0.000688kg}{8960kg/m^{3}}$ (12)

$V_{copper}=7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}$ (13) Volume of copper in the coin

<h2>(c) Density of the sovereign coin</h2><h2 />

Remembering density is a relation between mass and volume, in the case of the coin the density $\rho_{coin$ will be a relation between its total mass $M$ and its total volume $V$ :

$\rho_{coin}=\frac{M}{V}$ (14)

Knowing the total volume of the coin is:

$V=V_{gold}+V_{copper}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}+7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}=4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}$ (15)

$\rho_{coin}=\frac{0.007988kg}{4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}}$ (16)

Finally:

$\rho_{coin}=17633.554kg/m^{3}}$ (17) This is the total density of the British sovereign coin

Im doing the BIg Bang for my project anyone know what it is, make it a ¨question¨ and an experiment.

Daniel [21]

The big bang is a theory of our universe and many others along with making our solar system. Meanwhile, in other universes have are solar system as well that is why we see stars at night because the sun and it's rays are so bright during the day it blocks them out.
