Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.

86 Km/h convertir a (m/min)
gogolik [260]

Answer: 1433.3 m/min

Explanation:

For 86 Km/h converted to a (m/min), convert kilometers to meters, and hour to minutes

So, 86 Km/h means 86 kilometers per 1 hour

- If 1 kilometer = 1000 metres

86 kilometers = 86 x 1000 = 86,000m

- If 1 hour = 60 minute

1 hour = 60 minutes

In m/min: (86,000m / 60 minute)

= 1433.3 m/min

Thus, 86 Km/h convert to 1433.3 m/min

A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an accelaration of _4m/s calculate its velocity​
Kobotan [32]

Complete question:

A train has an initial velocity of 44m/s and an acceleration of -4m/s². calculate its velocity​ after 10s ?

Answer:

the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the train, u = 44 m/s

acceleration of the train, a = -4m/s² (the negative sign shows that the train is decelerating)

time of motion, t = 10 s

let the final velocity of the train = v

The final velocity of the train is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v = u + at

v = 44 + (-4 x 10)

v = 44 - 40

v = 4 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the train is 4 m/s.

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?
NeTakaya
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.
