Wood isn't as tough as rock. Wood also breaks down in weather and cracks under pressure. Plus rocks were more accessible.
I'd have to say that the list of choices doesn't go far enough.
Advances in Astronomy have been occurring for at least the past two millennia (2000 years). Maybe longer.
Answer:
A. speed = 7.14 Km/s
B. distance = 1820.7 Km
Explanation:
Given that: a = 14.0 m/, t = 8.50 minutes.
But,
t = 8.50 = 8.50 x 60
= 510 seconds
A. By applying the first equation of motion, the speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minutes can be determined by;
v = u + at
where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
u = 0
So that,
v = 14 x 510
= 7140 m/s
The speed of the shuttle at the end of 8.50 minute is 7.14 Km/s.
B. the distance traveled can be determined by applying second equation of motion.
s = ut + a
where: s is the distance, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
u = 0
s = a
= x 14 x
= 7 x 260100
= 1820700 m
The distance that the shuttle has traveled during the given time is 1820.7 Km.
The total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.
<h3>
Total distance traveled</h3>
The total distance traveled at a given speed and time of motion is calculated as follows;
Distance = speed x time
<h3>Distance round the Earth</h3>
The distance round the earth or circumference of the earth of the earth has been given as 25,000 miles
<h3>Number of times round the earth</h3>
Thus, the total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.
