B. To have an earthquake there must be a fault line (where two or more tectonic plates meet) so if San Fran. has earthquakes they’re on a fault line.
Accuracy is a general concept while precision is more of a mathematical concept.
Answer: 24.7 km/h
Explanation:
1) Average speed definition and formula
The average speed is the total distance run divided by the time elapsed:
S = distance / time
2) Distance 1 = 67 km
3) Distance 2 = 81 km
4) Total distance traveled = 67 km + 81 km = 148 km
5) time 1 = 1 hour
6) time 2 = 5 hours
7) total time = time 1 + time 2 = 1 h + 5 h = 6 h
8) Average speed:
S = 148 km / 6 h = 24.7 km/h
Answer:
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.
Speed = Distance/Time
As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.
Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.
So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.
Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.
