Suppose a student wants calculate the density of the two different objects, a metal cube and a small statue. Describe the methods the student could use to measure the density of the two objects.

First we should quickly remind ourselves of the equation for density:density= mass/ volumeTo calculate the density we need a method of measuring the mass of each object and another method for measuring th...

Given I climb two steps every second and I have a mass of 50kg, what is the power output of my legs in kilowatts? (3 significant figures)

(There is a diagram showing stairs with steps that are 20cm high)
Power = Energy/TimeEnergy required to climb one step = Work Done = ForceDistanceForce = Weight = mg = 509.81 = 490.5NEne...

A block of mass 5kg moving in a straight line at constant speed travels 50 metres in 14 seconds. Calculate the block's momentum.

p = 17.9 kgm/s. p = mv. v = d/t. p = md/t. p = (5 x 50)/14
