Ican't find this answer anywhere, so i'll ask here: what item did they base the si unit of mass (grams) off of? (in other words, to what object did they say "hey, lets make this equal 1 gram and then go from there"

Using a pedometer, you walk 3000 steps in 20 minutes, so your speed is 150 steps/min. each of your steps is 0.7 m long. what is your speed? 150 steps/min=/s=/h

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.

Aparticle moves in the xy plane with constant acceleration. at time zero, the particle is at x = 6 m, y = 8.5 m, and has velocity ~vo = (9 m/s) ˆı + (−2.5 m/s) ˆ . the acceleration is given by ~a = (4.5 m/s 2 ) ˆı + (3 m/s 2 ) ˆ . what is the x component of velocity after 3.5 s? answer in units of m/s.
