Light travels in a vacuum at a speed of 3.00 × 108 m s-1 .(a) Convert this speed to miles per second.(b) Express this speed in furlongs per fortnight, a littleused unit of speed. (A furlong, a distance used in horse racing, is 660 ft; a fortnight is exactly 2 weeks.)
A 25.5 g sample of a metal was placed into water in a gradu- ated cylinder. The metal sank to the bottom, and the water level rose from 15.7 mL to 25.3 mL. What is the identity of the metal?
