It is commonplace to find statements on food cans such as “Net Weight: 16 oz. (454g)” Why do most people find this acceptable? Why do “physics types” object to such statements? *

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2

An electric clothes dryer has a resistance of 8 ohms. it draws 30 a of current. what is the voltage, in volts, of the wall outlet that it is plugged into?

The particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom are
