The density of the nugget is and is made of gold
Explanation:
The density of an object can be calculated as
where
d is the density
m is the mass
V is the volume of the object
We have to note that density of an object actually depends on the material the object is made of (therefore, two objects made of the same material can have different mass and different volume, but they have same density).
For the nugget in this problem, we have:
mass: m = 38 g
volume:
So, its density is
And by looking at the table, we see that this value corresponds approximately to the density of gold, so the nugget is made of gold.

Answer:
No
Explanation:
The force of tension exerted by the string on the rock acts as centripetal force, so its direction is always towards the centre of the circle.
However, the direction of motion of the rock is always tangential to the circle: this means that the force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the rock.
As we know, the work done by a force on an object is
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement of the object
is the angle between the force and the displacement
In this situation, F and d are perpendicular, so , therefore
and the work done is zero:
