We will convert the 1dm3 in terms of cm3 as follows:

1dm^3 = (10 cm)^3
= 1000 cm^3

The mass of platinum is equal to 900 lb. 
Then we will convert the mass in terms of grams as follows:
1 lb = 453.6 g
900 = 900 x 453.6 g
= 408240 g

Then density of platinum is equal to 21.4 g/cm^3 
We will calculate the volume of platinum in mass 408240 g as follows:
Volume of platinum = mass of platinum / density of platinum
= 408240 g / 21.4 g/cm^3 
= 19076.6 cm^3  

The total volume of platinum is 19076.6 cm^3
The volume of platinum in 1 L bar is 1000cm^3
So, to calculate the number of bars we will use the formula as follows;
Number of bars = volume of platinum available / volume of platinum required in 1 L bar
= 19076.6 cm^3 / 1000 cm^3
= 19
So, the number of bars are 19.

exis [7]

Answer

given,

Mass of Kara's car = 1300 Kg

moving with speed = 11 m/s

time taken to stop = 0.14 s

final velocity = 0 m/s

distance between Lisa ford and Kara's car = 30 m

a) change in momentum of Kara's car

  Δ P = m Δ v                  

  \Delta P = m (v_f-v_i)

  \Delta P = 1300 (0 - 11)

  Δ P = - 1.43 x 10⁴ kg.m/s

b) impulse is equal to change in momentum of the car

    I = - 1.43 x 10⁴ kg.m/s

c) magnitude of force experienced by Kara

  I = F x t

 I is impulse acting on the car

 t is time

  - 1.43 x 10⁴= F x 0.14

    F = -1.021 x 10⁵ N

negative sign represents the direction of force

A child of mass 27 kg swings at the end of an elastic cord. At the bottom of the swing, the child's velocity is horizontal, and
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of child = 27 kg

Speed of child in horizontal = 10 m/s

Length = 3.40 m

There is a rate of change of the perpendicular component of momentum.

Centripetal force acts always towards the center.

We need to calculate the magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum

Using formula of momentum

\dfrac{dp}{dt}=F

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=\dfrac{27\times10^2}{3.40}

\dfrac{dP}{dt}=794.11\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the rate of change of the child's momentum is 794.11 N.

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

A dog travels north for 18 meters, east for 8 meters, South for 27 meters and then west for 8 meters. What is the distance the d
Afina-wow [57]
I'm really not sure if this is right but I'll try.
The distance that the dog traveled is probably all of the distances added up. I would guess that it's 67 meters in total. 
The displacement is a little more tricky but you pretty much have to put a mental map in your head. Since East and West are both 8 meters, they cancel each other out. He travels more southern and that means the displacement is 9 meters south of his original location
