Use the equation:
v = u + at
because it has all the variables given and need to find. First you must make sure units are the same. Acceleration is given in m/s^2. Check to make sure this is correct before using the following solution. Convert acceleration from meters per second squared to miles per hour squared.

look up conversion meters to miles
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
10.60 m/s^2 * 1mile/1609.34m = 0.0069 mi/s^2
there are 3600 seconds in an hour, then there are 3600s*3600s in 1 hr^2
0.0069 mi/s^2 * 3600s*3600s/hr^2 = 85362 mi/hr^2

Then using: v = u +at
60 = 55 + 85362t
60 - 55 = 85362t
5 = 85362t
5/85362 = t
5.9 x 10^-5 hr = t
very small value in hours, multiply by 3600 to convert to seconds.

5.9 x 10^-5 hr * 3600s/hr = 0.21 seconds

A light, rigid rod is 55.8 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at res
VMariaS [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(2(55.8*10^{-2}))}

v = 4.67m/s

Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s

Alligators and other reptiles don't use enough metabolic energy to keep their body temperatures constant. They cool off at night
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amount of heat required can be found from the following relation

Q = mcΔT

m is mass of the body , c is specific heat and ΔTis rise in temperature .

Here m = 300 kg

c = 3350 J /kg k

ΔT = 30 - 25

= 5 °C

Putting the values in the expression above

Q = 300 x 3350 x 5

= 5025000 J

Rate at which energy is absorbed = 1200 J /s

Time required

= 5025000 / 1200

= 4187.5 S

= 69.8 minute

= 1 hour 9.8 mimutes.
